MAG: Angelina Jolie Self-Destructing In Wake Of Allegedly Disastrous Leg Pose

Truth rating: 0

The fallout over Angelina Jolie’s leg pose continues to spread.

And leave it to In Touch to take the story to bizarre and extreme lengths!

To recap: Jolie’s Oscar Night dress was slit up the side, and her dramatic on-stage pose became easy conversation fodder that night.

Conspiracy-minded rumor mongers then wrongly claimed Jolie was (1) posing that way to hide an alleged pregnancy and (2) in hot water with Brad Pitt for upstaging him with her “leggy stance.”

These stories were ridiculous.

Now, In Touch is getting in on the action, basically alleging that Jolie’s life has unraveled since the Academy Awards.

“Her weird, look-at-me pose while presenting screen-writing Oscars proved how insecure she really is – and ironically, she fell apart when it backfired,” explains the tabloid.

A “Hollywood source” tells In Touch, “She’s still mortified. She had this cool, aloof persona, and she messed it up.”

So how badly is Jolie supposedly taking the criticism?

She’s allegedly “smoking, drinking and bursting into tears,” says the magazine, adding that she showed up for costume prep on a new film “rail-thin and raspy-voiced,” looking like “a shadow of her old self.”

In Touch claims Jolie picked up a “new smoking habit” in recent weeks, and has replaced food with cigarettes.

Meanwhile, Pitt “practically had to carry her out to the car” after she allegedly drank too much red wine at an after-party with George Clooney and Stacy Keibler at Craig’s restaurant on Oscar night.

Now Pitt “is urging her to get over the embarrassment and grow up.”

Maybe In Touch should take some of that advice.

The notion that Jolie has fallen apart because she jutted out her leg on stage for a few seconds is so absurd, we can’t believe even In Touch would print it.

Of course, we also find it a bit unlikely that Jolie would be completely trashed and carried out of a high-profile Hollywood establishment with extremely high-profile companions, but (1) only In Touch knows about it, and (2) the tabloid decided not to mention it until weeks later.

The mag only actually knows what everyone knows – that Angelina Jolie stood on stage at the Oscars with her leg exposed.

Everything else is nonsense.

A source close to Jolie tells Gossip Cop the story of her unraveling in the wake of her infamous “pose” is patently “untrue.”

    Are they serious? Anyone that can travel to the countries Angelina does and help people and take care of 6 kids isn’t going to self destruct over a little leg hanging out. lmao

  • GUEST

    Leg Gate was the best part of the Oscars. No one would be talking about this chick if not for that.

    That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise.

  • Sheisthemainstar

    People talk about Jolie at every award show. She was the most tweeted about celeb on golden globes night and she didn’t even expose her leg.

  • Guest99

    I agree with your comment and I’ll add not only at award shows is she talked about. She’s talked about at every single thing she does.

    She does great wonderful things here and around the world – it would be nice for people to focus on things like that instead they (haters/rags tabloids) choose to pick on silly things, like her leg. I thought she was great at the oscars, she was having fun, good for her. Really like and admire her.

    flaunted legs always attract.

  • Sandip

    I still think she was posing like a model for Viv and Zahara, the fashionistas.

    Buddy, you must have been living under a rock for a super really long time. Angelina Jolie and her family is always talked about every single week. Lies after lies after lies, the “Leg Gate” scandal is only a big deal because the tabloid rags make a big deal out of nothing. If she does something, it’s always talked about whether she’s in Africa or Japan or wherever there’s always paparazzis following her. I believe that she’s the most talked about celebrity since like forever… catch up on some gossips will ya, and stop embarrassing yourself with some comments that is wrong.

    when angelina wakes up in the morning she still has brad pitt and her lovely kids and her beauty and her career and she is still world famous and has lots of money and the world is her oyster. so she lost nothing over this silly incident. at the academy awards 2013 she will wear a different dress.

  • June690

    Where do you live? Jolie has been a headliner on mags constantly for about 6 to 7 years now.
    Curious do you grocery shop? I do… and every week Jolie is on the cover of some magazine.
    Albeit negative or positive…She makes news.

    Gosh if this were true that would be sad. People teased and laughed the next day and it was over with. People don’t care about anything longer than 48 hours. It wasn’t even that big of a deal. Her dress was pretty and so was she so who cares?

  • Captdolores

    Who are the strange people who write for IT. They have such a hate for Angelina it is very disturbing. It is sad that they can continue to print this garbage week after week and that people buy these lies.

  • lol

    or maybe high! like at the Golden Globes! Sneaking some vodka under the table wonderful example for a mother of SIX!

  • lol

    after getting Pitt! you are so right! selling their children’s photo and after 7 years still haven’t given all that money away! still hasn’t touched THEIR income! smart for them……..crazy that people worship them as there are so many more people that actually work and make a real difference! what difference has jolie made in each country she has been to…. Oprah did the Bosian War years ago in the 80′s when Jolie was drugging out! I am happy that she has turned her life around and has lovely family however if you can’t see the photo ops bring more to her than the people……..blind!

    Angelena Jolie…hum….kept stealing other women’s men until she decided to keep Brad Pitt…they deserve each other…while together..they are leaving other nice people alone…she is painfully skinny…not just thin…her leg was no big deal…and most of the time…Brad needs a bath…nothing news worthy here…but keep up the good work for the unfortunate…and give up acting…you are so much better at that…

    The tatoo Queen needs a tan. Maybe it will give her some color to cover up the fact that she’s just a bag of bones covered with skin.

  • Appreciative

    Thank you lol! I never understood the appeal of this masculine, unfortunately thick skull & facial boned woman. (?). Either way, it is really nice to see someone with very clear vision here. You are far from blind. Quite eagle-eyed in fact.Not to mention honest without meanness. And Im grateful you’re here.
    I usually never post. I get a good dose of entertainment from the bloggers. It is an after-work giggle. Still, and again I am grateful for the “island of sweet reason” (forget the poet who penned that).
    Thanks again. Someone has to see clearly….we have become zombie-like pawns to marketing. Without those like you, we would be severely lost. Even more than now.
    She is a buffoon and you see it.
    Thank you.

    Which is why I laughed so hard when the medical community did actual studies of St. John’s Wort for mild depression and found out that Angelina Has Hooked on Smoking.

    To me, smoke is smoke. Anything that is hot enough to smoke is gonna be bad for a person’s lungs.
