Christina Aguilera (Bauer Griffin)Others may mean it as a put-down, but Christina Aguilera is a diva, and she's proud.

The "Not Myself Tonight" singer -- who has a two-year-old son, Max, with husband Jordan Bratman -- insists she has only been branded demanding because she isn't afraid to express her opinions.

She said: "As for a diva, I'm not the type of woman who can be told what to do. I have my own mind, my own ideas and my own visions. I wouldn't say I'm difficult. I'd say assertive and sometimes that means I get the 'b---h card.' But if having an opinion makes me a diva then I wear my badge with honor."

The 29-year-old pop beauty admits motherhood has made her much calmer, but insists she has never been an extrovert and is uncomfortable in social situations.

She added in an interview with The Sun newspaper: "Motherhood has definitely made me more chilled out. But I also think people had me wrong. I'm actually quite shy. When I first meet people it takes me a moment to warm up. I'm not the social butterfly who can walk into a room or be at a party and start a random conversation. I'm sort of awkward with that sort of thing."
