What's Up With Angelina Jolie's Leg???







Angelina Jolie's right leg has been everywhere since she first stepped out on the red carpet at the 84th Annual Academy Awards last Sunday night. 


In case you missed it, Angelina was presenting the award for best adapted screenplay while she boldly placed her hands on her hips and poked her right leg out, emphasizing the high slit in her Versace gown. Jim Rash, who won the award for The Descendants then imitated the pose while accepting the award. He later told E! News "As soon as I saw her, I said 'God, if we went up there... that's a great way to own the moment,' because thats what I thought she was doing." 


It sparked so much controversy, that it even got its own Twitter account called @AngiesRightLeg, which has around 36,000 followers. The next day, people were photographing and sharing pictures of themselves with the infamous pose under hashtag #Joliening. Soon after that, a blog was created on Tumblr called 'Angelina Joile'ing' for more people to upload their pictures.  


It's even been superimposed across the web into various pictures. The users of the site Buzzfeed, has photoshopped her leg into iconic pictures like in the scene of George Washington crossing the Delaware River, The Beatles Abbey Road album cover, the Statue of Liberty, the moon landing and The Last Supper. They like to call it "legbombing."


Even talk shows got into the fun. Guliana Rancic on E!, Kelly Ripa with Lucy Liu on Live! and the hosts of "The Talk," all imitated the pose.


Not everyone thought it was all fun and games, Joan Rivers bashed the celeb saying "Angelina Jolie looked like a fool the way she posed. She took herself right out of the superstar catagory because you now realize she stands in front of a mirror to figure out what she looks like." Joan Rivers also dubbed her worst dress on her show, "Fashion Police."


No one knows how long this phenomenon will go on, but I can't help but to sit back and laugh on what society goes crazy about. What could possibly be next???

Lindsay Lohan to Host Saturday Night Live Next Month

Lindsay Lohan is ready to make her big comeback by hosting Saturday Night Live. 


This will be the fourth time Lindsay is hosting the show. Back when Tina Fey was head writer, and around the same time they did Mean Girls together,  Lindsay hosted the show three times. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lindsay has always maintained a good relationship with the shows executive producer, Lorne Michaels. Even when there were rumors back in 2005 that she was heading down the wrong path, SNL's crew seemed to be the only people supporting her. They even did a sketch to help vocalize her problems called "The Ghost Of Lindsay's Future."

Considering this will be her first time back since her career downfall, the pressure is on. Obviously very excited about the gig, Lindsay tweeted "SNL! I love @NBC !!!!!!!!" The show tweeted back "Thats right: March 3rd @lindsaylohan with musical guest Jack White!! See you then #SNL #March 3rd."

But who would want her to host a show now? Who really cares about her making a comeback after all this time? Well, according to TMZ, Lindsay was the one to reach out to the show. She's not even hosting to promote any T.V. show or movie, in fact, she was kicked out of Inferno in 2010 because of her substance abuse problems. Recently, she has put her career on hold while she handles her personal life. Her most recent project was her nude spread on Playboy's December issue, which was widely criticized. 

Hopefully SNL is the comeback Lindsay needs. I wish her luck and I can't wait to see the show. She will be alongside Jack White on March 3rd. Everyone should tune in!

Bobbi Kristina Found Getting High After Mom's Funeral!

This is a truly sad story.

Multiple sources close to Whitney Houston's family are saying that Bobbi Kristina Brown was found getting high after her mothers funeral. The 18 year old apparently slipped away from friends and family after the emotional three hour funeral in New Jersey this past Saturday. She apparently did not meet her family for brunch in Newark and made everyone panic when she also did not show up for the burial service on Sunday.

Sources are saying that with all the commotion after the funeral she couldn't handle it. Sources also say family were trying to call her cell phone, but she was not answering. According to The Daily Beast, she was also upset that her father caused an uproar at the funeral after causing a scene with seating arrangements.  A spokesperson had denied that she was getting high and claimed that she only needed time alone.

But, this is hard to believe when unfortunately, this isn't the only time this has happened. There were also reports of her getting high after she found out her superstar mother had died. There was a debate whether she should have gone to rehab or mourn with the rest of her family. And, last year the 18-year old was found snorting a suspicious white powder.

In my opinion, she was just mimicking what she had seen while growing up. If you see your parents living a certain lifestyle then it appeals to you. It must be a horrible situation for everybody, because people probably tried to save Whitney and it didn't work. And now with Bobbi Kristina the same thing is going to happen, and people might not be able to stop her either. I just hope that Bobbi Kristina gets help IMMEDIATELY if she is really abusing drugs. I understand this is an incredibly difficult time for her, but drugs are never the answer. She is in my thoughts and prayers.
