Mariah Carey reveals her slimmer post-pregnancy figure

She only gave birth to her twins Morocco and Monroe just over two months ago. But it appears that Mariah Carey is already pinging right back into shape. The 41-year-old new mother revealed her post-pregnancy figure for the very first time today as she stepped out in Los Angeles.

In a comfortable black tracksuit and white t-shirt, she showed off her famous curves. Wearing her hair in natural curl, the Butterfly singer appeared make-up free but shielded herself with some oversized sunglasses. Helped by two handlers, Mariah made her way through a crowd of fans eager to get a glimpse of the mother-of-two who has been busy spending time with her newborns.

Before Mariah gave birth to the twins, naturally, she sported a rather large baby bump. And the singer, who clearly enjoyed her pregnancy, had a ball joking around with the burgeoning belly by painting several designs on her tummy.

Mariah gave birth to her twins on April 30 at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles with her husband Nick Cannon by her side. Baby girl Monroe was born first, weighing 5lbs 3oz and was 18 inches long; her brother Morocco was next, at 5lbs 6oz and was 19 inches. The next day Mariah and her husband Nick Cannon celebrated the new arrivals by renewing their wedding vows in hospital.

Meanwhile new mother Mariah could soon have a new gig - hired by Simon Cowell for X-Factor. The superstar singer was already rumoured to be initially joining the U.S. edition of the hit talent show as a mentor for an episode or two. But now Simon has confirmed that she is in talks for a more major role - even telling Cowell she wants to be "the judge of the judges".

"I think Mariah will have a role on the TV live shows. I met her recently and she was on great form," the music mogul said. "And her idea was to be the judge of the judges, which only Mariah could come up with." The new role would be the first time the format has changed in the seven year history of the show.

A source told Entertainment Weekly: "Mariah and Simon are great friends, and now she has had her babies, it's very possible that she will be involved some way in the show. She has always said she wanted to work with the show, so it's something they will certainly be discussing ideas for soon."

The U.S. version of The X Factor premières on September 21. Simon is set to appear on the show along with judges Nicole Scherzinger, LA Reid and Paula Abdul.
