Psst! Slowly … discreetly … take a peek at the person next to you.

About 40 years old? Maybe five-foot-nine? Hanging out with a Nick Cannon lookalike?

You may be standing right next to Mariah Carey.

"I go for walks in a semi-disguise. That's fun to me," Carey, who plays a dowdy welfare case worker in Precious tells AOL's Popeater. "I like to go to public places and do things that I would never get a chance to do. The other night, I went out wearing all Nick's clothes."

But it's not a foolproof disguise – especially when she's hanging out with her hubby.

"The thing is, if they recognize him, they're going to [recognize me]," she says. "If he's holding someone's hand and walking with them, they're going to look and go, 'Who is he with?' "

But the fact that she has someone's hand to hold is still something she sees as a miracle. The two married in May 2008.

"I guess I almost didn't believe in it," she says. "I didn't really trust people. I didn't really trust what it would be like to be in a relationship again because I'd been, you know … So many times it had been disappointing. But the situation with Nick is totally different because we're very similar."

One thing they apparently have in common: a love of the Bible.

"I have been reading that Bible pretty much every night for years, and I learned a lot," she says. "Now I have to figure out, okay, what's my next Bible? ... I'm not a religious fanatic. It's just … I do feel calmer when I read even just a little bit of the Bible and go to sleep."
