In Barbara Walter's annual Oscar Special, nominee Mo'Nique revealed her open marriage with husband Sidney Hicks isn't quite so open. "Let me say this," she said. "I have not had sex outside my marriage with Sidney."

But the same might not be true for him, NY Daily News reports. "Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me?" the 'Precious' star asked. "Yes. That's not a deal-breaker. That's not something that would make us say, 'Pack your things and let's end the marriage.'"

Even if it happened more than once, Mo'Nique said she wouldn't hold it against him. "What if it's 20 times? So what?" she said. "We've been best friends for over 25 years, and we truly know who we are. Oftentimes, people get into marriages and they don't know who they're laying next to. I'm very comfortable and secure with my husband."

So comfortable, in fact, that her unshaven legs are not an issue. "He loves the hairy legs, and if Sid likes the hairy legs, there you go," she said.

"I tried shaving one time, and it was so uncomfortable and painful," Mo'Nique said, explaining why she chooses not to shave. "I said never again would I do that to myself," she said. "I'm 42, and I'm very hairy."

We wonder if she will make an exception on Oscar night, when she is up for the Best Supporting Actress award. One thing's for sure -- although she's a favorite to win, Mo'Nique is trying not to talk about her chances. "I don't like thinking about that, because I'm big on the universe," she admitted. "I don't want to start making this speech or [think about what] I'm going to say because I don't want the universe to say, 'Really? You so sure about that?' Let's not jinx it."
