Singer Melissa Etheridge has moved to clarify remarks she made about Angelina Jolie’s double mastectomy last year, after calling the actress “fearful” for undergoing the operation.The “Tomb Raider: star stunned fans when she revealed she had drastic surgery to remove both her breasts after doctors discovered she was at risk of developing cancer.Shortly after the announcement, Etheridge, a breast cancer survivor, criticized Jolie by saying, “I wouldn’t call it the brave choice. I actually think it’s the most fearful choice you can make when confronting anything with cancer.” However, the “Come to My Window” hit maker insists her comments were not meant to be malicious, and she clarified her statements during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” on Wednesday. She explains, “I have never even ever spoken to Angelina. But I didn’t mean that comment meanly. I certainly want to clear that up.“I just felt that calling it ‘brave’ was not something I would do. To cut healthy tissue off is fearful because you’re fearful of getting something. Brave to me would be different. And that’s all. … People can do whatever they want. It’s their bodies, their health.” Etheridge used to be good friends with Jolie’s husband Brad Pitt, and even performed at his wedding to Jennifer Aniston in 2000, but the singer admits she hasn’t spoken to the actor in 10 years. Pitt and Aniston split in 2005.

On Angelina: “Angelina Jolie and I, we're not friends, but when I called her about my human trafficking endeavors, she went all in. And I really appreciated that because there are not a lot of times that you can call upon people in our business and get serious help. She put me in contact with the people I needed to be in contact with, she sent me books, sent me all the information she had. I'm not saying that Angelina and I are, like, girlfriends and kicking it every day, but when you call another woman who's in a position to lend support to you and she just jumps right in there—that's sisterhood.” (...)

Ever since her breakout role in Transformers, Megan Fox has been topping "hottest" and "sexiest" lists left and right. Back in 2009, she landed the number two spot on Maxim's Hot 100, losing only to fellow blue-eyed brunette Olivia Wilde. She's been pretty off the radar since her last Transformers movie came out that year (along with Jennifer's Body, but let's forget about that one), and is now back withTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, in theaters today. We decided to dig back to 2009 for Fox at her "sexiest" and couldn't help but notice a trend in her red carpet choices—namely, some high slits. She pulled the much meme-ified Angelina Jolie leg twice, before Jolie did at the 2012 Oscars. If you need a reminder: It looked great on Fox, actually, given her toned gams. Here she is at Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen's Germany premiere wearing Roberto Cavalli:She pulled the same pose at the flick's Tokyo premiere as well, this time in a Donna Karan gown. As the old saying goes: if you've got it, flaunt it.

It is redemption time for reality (skin show) star Kim Kardashian.Last year at The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala Kim fought her way to get invited at the most talked about and fashionable evening of the year.But Kim had a serious costume misfire in a bright floral printed gown.This year the Kardashian torch bearer was clearly set on fashion redemption as she was spotted heading with Kanye West to this year's ball wearing a plunging Lanvin dress on Monday in New York.The 33-year-old mother of one looked gorgeous in what we call as a "Angelina Jolie inspired" number.During the 84th Annual Academy Awards Angelina Jolie looked ravishing in a black velvet Atelier Versace gown with a thigh-high slit.But Jolie soon became the butt of all jokes. She was being mocked at for her outrageous posing at the Academy Awards.The 36-year-old actress' strange pose of sticking out her right leg has been the subject of much ridicule.‘The Descendants’ writer Jim Rash mimicked her stance as he took to the stage to collect the Oscar for best adapted screenplay.The ‘Lara Croft’ star’s puzzling behaviour also resulted in a twitter page being set up, called @AngiesRightLeg.But now Angie must feel vindicated wearing that high slit and posing for the cameras.Angelina Jolie's leggy Versace dress at the 2012 Oscars started a slow burn trend that still has celebrities showing off their buffed gams at red carpet events.Kim Kardashian pulled an Angelina at this year's MET Gala with her leggy Lanvin showing a bit too much skin (which she anyway finds difficult to keep in check).But do you think Kim pulls off the attitude with which Angelina faces the camera? Whose leggy dress do you like best? Give the looks your feedback.

Jennifer Lopez Flashes Leg Like Angelina Jolie at Grammys 2013

J Lo is breaking the rules! Jennifer Lopez channeled another A-list glamour goddess -- Angelina Jolie, circa the Academy Awards 2012 -- at the 2013 Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 10. The 43-year old singer and actress flashed major, major leg (and one shoulder) in a stunning, super-sexy black gown by Anthony Zacarello.E! News' Ryan Seacrest immediately called out the "Dance Again" chanteuse over the obvious: Had Lopez violated a recent request made by CBS for more PG-rated attire at this year's Grammys?"They didn't say anything about leg!" Lopez protested. "I thought i was being such good girl -- [just] a little shoulder and a little leg." In a surprising email obtained by Deadline, CBS expressly forbade presenters, nominees and performers from pushing the envelope with the evening's sartorial choices. "Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered," the e-mail reads. "Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare flesh under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic." Continued the memo: "Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible 'puffy' bare skin exposure." Joked Lopez to Seacrest of the mandate: "It didn't apply to me! They mentioned things [in that memo] that i don't say around my house," says the mother of twins Max and Emme, "It's crazy!" Later, presenting the night's first award with Pitbull, the singer joked, "So, as you can see, I read the memo..." As the audience laughed, a picture flashed across the screen of her infamous green Versace gown from the 2000 Grammys. "You inspired the memo," Pitbull told her.Tell Us: What did you think of Lopez's look for the night?
