It was the star of the Oscars last night, stealing the show with it's attention-seeking antics.

But Angelina's lithe leg was kept covered up today 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 today, the rest of the world aren'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 photo shop last night, circulating pictures of Jolie's now-infamous right leg photoshopped into well known photographs and artwork and onto unlikely candidates.

Darth Vadar, the Statue of Liberty and Whistler's Mother are a few of the recipients of Ange's leggy pose... with side-splitting results.

The limb also makes a stealth appearance on the cover art of The Beatles Abbey Road album.

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.

The Land Of Blood And Honey director kept her slim pin undercover in a pair of fitted black trousers, which she paired with a matching blazer and a white blouse.

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.

Meanwhile Knox was the splitting image of his father Brad, dressed in a little black leather motorcycle jacket and black denim jeans.

The night before, most of the Oscars headlines had been dominated not by the winners, but by Angelina's leg-baring antics.

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.

Rainman would have no problem counting Angelia Jolie's leg,' one Twitter user joked, while another added: 'Fun fact: Angelina Jolie only shaved her right leg tonight.'

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.

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.

While Alexander Payne, who also directed and produced the film, made his speech, fellow screenwriters Nat Faxon and Jim Rash mimicked Jolie's pose in an exaggerated fashion, drawing laughs from the audience.

And yesterday, Angelina's father Jon Voight defended her antics during an appearance on Daybreak in the UK.

Asked what he thought of her posing, the actor said: 'She comes out and does this pose and waits until people get it, it was so great. The audience responded so wonderfully too, with whistles and everything.

'And then she laughed and took it in and went on with her speech. So who knows? You can never tell about these moments that pop up out of a show like this.'
