Angelina Jolie's leg is turning out to be more than just a flash in the pan. (You see what we did there?) Between the Twitter feed, the legbombing photo meme and the rash of talk-show hosts competively "Jolieing" on camera, it's hard to keep up. Jolie flashed it first on the Oscars red carpet Sunday, of course, and then daringly repeated the arms-akimbo, bare-leg-out-to- there pose during the telecast before presenting the Oscar for adapted screenplay. The next to flaunt it, almost immediately afterward? "Community" actor and "The Descendants" screenwriter Rash, one of those to whom Jolie presented the Oscar, who similarly struck the post heard 'round the world while holding his shiny new statuette. Rash on Tuesday revealed to E! News the impetus behind his mimicry of Jolie's pose, which he witnessed from his seat in the theater while awaiting the winner's name: "As soon as I saw her, I said, 'God, if we went up there ... that...

Mike Nelson/EPA The leg heard 'round the world. At the start of the Oscars broadcast , Twitter was mostly obsessed with Jennifer Lopez's alleged wardrobe malfunction. (Some thought J.Lo's body-baring dress bared about a milimeter more than it meant to; her stylist says no .) But it was Angelina Jolie who made a lasting impression on social media. Neither Lopez's strategically positioned dress nor Sacha Baron Cohen spilling fake Kim Jong Il ashes all over Ryan Seacrest during the red carpet pre-show, nor Billy Crystal doing his Sammy Davis Jr. impression, nor the uber-annoying microphone feedback during the show could detract from ... Angelina Jolie's leg. "Angelina Jolie's" trended Sunday night and surfaced again Monday. Angelina Jolie's what? Well, her right leg, to be precise. While presenting an award, the actress purposely stuck out that particular gam, presumably to showcase a slit in her black Atelier Versace dress. But she didn't just ...

Jane Pitt and Angelina Jolie X17 Online A day after dazzling in velvet Versace at the Academy Awards , Angelina Jolie was back to normal and showing a lot less leg running errands in L.A. Monday. After taking a coffee break with partner Brad Pitt 's mom, Jane, the actress, dressed down in black, was spotted out and about with 3-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne. And although she was all smiles, Jolie, 36, wasn't striking any poses for the paparazzi like she did when she hit the Oscars stage to present the award for Best Adapted Screenplay Sunday night. Her hands-on-hip, right-leg-out pose call it Angie-bowing? even has its own Twitter handle .

FameFlynet Pictures After popping out to win friends and influence people last night, Angelina Jolie 's right leg was back under cover today. Wearing skinny black pants that covered her from hip to ankle (as pants tend to do), the gamtastic actress went shopping in Beverly Hills Monday with 3-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne and their grandma, Jane . You know, Brad Pitt 's mother. MORE: Angelina Jolie's Oscar-bared leg launched its own Twitter account Perhaps no one will ever know what Jolie's modus operandi was when she so cockily popped her right knee through the slit of her black velvet Versace gown before presenting Best Adapted Screenplay to the stunned Descendants scribes. Was she feeling woozy and needed an extra bit of stability? Was she making fun of Madonna (it just seemed like the sort of preening we come to expect from Madge)? Did she lose a bet? Either way, Jolie's leg now has its own Twitter account, and countless photo parodieswho knew her leg was...

ABC Angelina Jolie (Getty Images) "Angelina Jolie is our hottest trending star!" one of ABC's many Oscar correspondents gushed as they analyzed which of the Academy Award attendees was getting the most "tweeting" on "Twitter". If they knew what people were discussing, they didn't mention it. And that "it," if you don't already know, was her peculiar stage presence. The whole "I invented the phrase 'good evening'" thing wasn't especially surprising. Nor was her eerily confident casing of the room that seemed to suggest she could braid the spines of those who made direct eye contact. But the oddest part was definitely the blatent showcasing of her right leg. Proving that you should never assume you're the sexiest / coolest / whateverist person in the room, especially when next up on stage is a former member of the Groundlings comedy troupe, was the very funny Jim Rash who took the stage after winning Best Ada...

Will Brad Pitt defend her honor? Angelina Jolie was the butt of a very public joke at Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony -- all for the oh-so-sexy, leg-flashing stance she took presenting the night's two awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Screenplay. PHOTOS: What all the stars wore at the Oscars After host Billy Crystal i ntroduced her as "the original girl with the Dragon Tattoo," the In the Land of Blood of Honey director, 36, strutted onstage in her thigh-high Atelier Versace dress. When parking herself at the microphone, Jolie (looking noticeably thin) dramatically splayed out her right leg and put her hand on her hip. PHOTOS: Oscars worst-dressed of all time The overly vampy gesture was not lost on Jim Rash, who accepted the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for The Descendants with co-writers Nat Faxon and Alexander Payne (also the flick's director). Rash (who also stars on NBC's Community) quickly put his Oscar on his hip and mocked Jolie's ...

Published: Feb. 26, 2012 at 4:01 PM HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- An upcoming memoir by U.S. actor Billy Bob Thornton will include an introduction by his ex-wife Angelia Jolie, its publisher said. William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, will publish "The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts" on May 15, The Hollywood Reporter said. The book, with a forward by Jolie, will include "colorful tales of his modest Southern upbringing, his bizarre phobias, his life, his loves [including his heartbreakingly brief marriage to fellow Oscar winner Angelina Jolie ], and, of course, his movie career," the publisher said Thursday.

Sounds as if someone's halo didn't make it through customs. Angelina Jolie was in Serbia on Friday for the premiere of her directorial debut, "In the Land of Blood and Honey," but according to the Associated Press, only a few dozen viewers showed up to see the film and some left before it ended. Seems that many Serbs view the film -- a love story involving a Serbian soldier and Muslim woman during the Balkans conflict of the 1990s -- as propaganda that portrays them as villains. One local reporter deemed it a fiasco. Another wrote: "The film is so bad that it warrants no reaction." In both Croatia and Bosnia, Jolie attended red-carpet premieres for the film. She received a standing ovation at the latter showing. Butler in, out of rehab Gerard Butler has managed to do something most celebrities can't these days: He entered rehab privately.

Jolie said she was jetlagged after traveling with her family from Sarajevo to Berlin to Paris to Los Angeles, but she still looked stunning in black jeans, heels and a blazer. "You just blew the minds of two of our stand-ins who got a hug from you," stage manager Dency Nelson told the actress, who replied through a shy smile, saying, "Oh, you're so sweet." Even telecast producer Brian Grazer was struck by Jolie's charm. "You have to take a picture with me first!" he said as she walked onto the stage. "Well, you don't HAVE to," Grazer clarified. Jolie obliged. Cruise also posed for a photo with the producer, and likely made the days of the f...

Brangelina going to the chapel of love . . . en France?

Soul Brother/Getty Images, Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images A memoir, eh? So that means explicit details of Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie 's outrageous relationship, right?! Well, according to Amazon's description , Thornton's book, The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts , will be "spinning colorful tales of his modest (to say the least) Southern upbringing, his bizarre phobias (komoda dragons?), his life, his loves (including his heartbreakingly brief marriage to fellow Oscar winner Angelina Jolie)," so she will definitely be included in the book (although we'd still like to see that wild romance portrayed on the big screen ).

Decision 2012: Will Brad Pitt finally make an honest woman out of Angelina Jolie this year?

In an "Extra" exclusive interview in Sarajevo, Angelina Jolie hints to Jerry Penacoli she may finally be ready to marry Brad Pitt. Pitt and Jolie once said they would get married only when everyone would have an equal right to unite in matrimony. Penacoli brought up that Prop 8 had been overturned in California, so are she and Brad any closer? Angelina smiled, "Maybe." The kids might also be a contributing factor to a Brangelina wedding. "They figured out what marriage is now, they're old enough so now they kind of like the idea of it," said Jolie. "But we're still convinced that half of them just want to party." Penacoli was the only U.S. reporter invited by Angelina for a special screening of the Bosnian-themed "In the Land of Blood and Honey." Jolie was moved to tears by the film's great response from the once war-torn city. "I didn't know how they were going to react because I know it's very hard for them t...

When Angelina Jolie asked me to join her in presenting the avant-premire of her film, In the Land of Blood and Honey , I began, of course, by asking to view it. But once I had, I did not hesitate for a second. Because, really, what a story! Here is a great Hollywood actress. Here is one of the most popular and famous stars of cinema in the entire world. Here is a great name, and no one could doubt that the day she decided to go behind the camera, she would have an unlimited choice of subjects, of financing, of scenarios, and, of course, of actors beating the path to her door for the privilege of participating in the adventure. But one day Angelina Jolie, indeed, goes behind the camera -- and what happens? She shoots a film d'auteur, with unknown Bosnian actors, in a language, Bosnian, that seems improbable both in America and in Europe -- and the film is set in this blind spot of 20th century history, in this moment of utter sorrow, one of indignity and shame, too, for the...

"I think Syria has got to a point, sadly, where certainly some form of intervention is absolutely necessary," Jolie told Al Jazeera Balkans in an interview shown on the channel's Internet site.
