You stick your right leg out! Angelina Jolie's attention-seeking Oscar pose goes viral



It was the star of the Oscars, stealing the show with its attention-seeking antics.

But Angelina's lithe leg was kept covered up yesterday as the actress snapped right back to motherly duties.

But while the 36-year-old actress may be keen to move on from her overexposed limb, the rest of the world isn't quite as ready to forget.

As Angelina was busy shopping with her twins Vivienne and Knox in Beverly Hills, hilarious spoof images of the star were going viral across the net.

Bloggers and artists were having some fun with photoshop last night, circulating pictures of Jolie's now-infamous right leg slotted into well known photographs and artwork and onto unlikely candidates.

Just 24 hours after the ceremony Angelina 'legbombing' was a viral term with that very skinny leg appearing next to Darth Vadar, on the Statue of Liberty and countless others... with side-splitting results.

Angelina is yet to comment on the attention her awkward red carpet pose has attracted, instead keeping her head down during her shopping trip with the twins and Brad's mother Jane.

But countless other A-listers have chucked in their two pennies worth on Angelina's now famous pose.

A-lister Joan Rivers branded her a 'fool' while others remarked on the scrawniness of her leg.

Comedian Adam Pally seethed: 'Angelina Jolie has become of the children she adopts.'

'Angelina Jolie looked like a fool the way she posed,' Rivers told RadarOnline. 'She took herself right out of that super star category because you now realise she stands in front of a mirror to figure out [what she looks like].'

Rivers' daughter Melissa, who is executive producer of the E! fashion show also agreed.

'She was demystified!' Melissa said. 'She demystified herself and it's unfortunate because it always looks so effortless, and you think how can one person be so glamorous? It's because she practices!'

She also had her limbs firmly tucked into a pair of knee-high leather boots - which her skinny pins did not event fill - and she carried a matching leather bowling bag.

The actress lifted fair-haired Vivienne, who looked girly in a white dress, pink sandals and beige trenchcoat, out of the family's SUV.

While she sashayed down the red carpet before the ceremony, stealing the spotlight from Best Actor nominee Pitt with her leg-baring antics, social networking sites were quickly heating up with thousands of comments about 'Angie's right leg'.

As she posed at different points along the red carpet the actress was captured continuously adjusting her Atelier Versace gown to ensure the cameras caught the leg from every angle.

The limb in question quickly became a trending topic on Twitter, with users debating over her enviably trim thigh, the slightly awkward and over-enthusiastic pose, and joking about the emphasis on her right leg in particular.

It wasn't long before a parody Twitter account called 'Angie's Right Leg' had been set up, declaring, 'I'm a leg, get a load of me!' and 'You have to admit I'm one hell of a leg!'

So far the account has attracted over 28,000 followers.

Mocking: The fun started early, with screenwriter Jim Rash copying the hilarious pose shortly after the actress presented him with an award onstage



And if fans thought they had seen the last of the limb when the awards ceremony commenced, they were certainly wrong.

Perhaps already informed of the hoopla by her people, or simply enjoying the attention, the actress continued to pose up a storm when she took to the stage to present an award.

Walking onstage to present the gong for Best Adapted Screenplay, Angelina stopped at the microphone for several seconds with her hand on her hip and THAT leg on full display again.

With wolf whistles and cheering from the audience, Jolie giggled at the reaction before continuing with the presentation.

But not everybody was as taken with Angelina. The screenwriters for The Descendants, who won the award, were quick to mock her as they accepted the award.
