  • LOS ANGELES -- Angelina Jolie's right leg was a hit at the Oscars.

    Not that her entire body, hair, makeup and her date -- Brad Pitt -- weren't all the subject of oohs and aahs, but Angie kept striking a pose -- sticking her right leg out of the slit in her black velvet Atelier Versace gown -- that intrigued fans throughout the night. She did it on the red carpet, and again when she took the stage to present an award.

    It was so noticeable that one of the adapted screenplay winners from The Descendants -- Jim Rash, to whom she presented the Oscar -- mocked her, striking a similar pose.

    Tweeted Patricia Heaton, "I think the way Angelina stood could be the new 'Tebowing'!" She added, "Angeleebowing"?

    Said Debi Mazar, Why did Angelina do that "leg thing?".. Kind of weird..If I had legs like that,I might,I guess..:)"

    A new Twitter page even popped up devoted to it: @AngiesRightLeg.
