Some had too many, some didn’t have enough.
The cover of Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood edition has been making a good few headlines on Friday, beginning when James Franco was digitally removed in light of the recent allegations made against him.
Once the dust settled there, the cover resumed being the centre of attention when a few eagle eyed online users spotted a slight irregularity.
Can you see it?

Of course you can’t. Nobody can, but it’s there.
Honing in on Reese Witherspoon – who has been draped around Oprah Winfrey – these users noticed something odd about Witherspoon’s legs.
Imagine the millions of dollars that have been spent digitally removing Reese Witherspoon's third leg from films and TV shows over the years. pic.twitter.com/mawsX6WLZ9

That’s right. Reese Witherspoon has three legs apparently.
The actress was quick to respond to the news, saying, “Well… I guess everybody knows now… I have 3 legs. I hope you can still accept me for who I am.”
Well…I guess everybody knows now…I have 3 legs. I hope you can still accept me for who I am. ?( and I will never apologize for snuggling @Oprah .. if you get the opportunity, I highly recommend it;) https://t.co/6GyrfWxNSY

Vanity Fair went on to address the matter, by telling people that it was in fact the lining of her dress.
While we would have loved the exclusive on @RWitherspoon's three legs, unfortunately it's just the lining of her dress. https://t.co/HJjvbc037S

It seems however, that the magazine might be covering up a much darker (and highly plausible) situation, in which The Greatest Showman and Spiderman: Homecoming actress Zendaya had one of her legs stolen by Witherspoon.
Situated to the Legally Blonde star’s right, it became clear that this was no mere coincidence.
Stolen from the girl to the right who only has one leg :/

As if that wasn’t odd enough, a few more people spotted another anomaly around Witherspoon and Winfrey. Only this time, it involved Oprah herself who apparently has three hands.
Forget Reese Witherspoon having 3 legs in Vanity Fair’s photo, Oprah has 3 hands in another ?? (She’s holding Reese) pic.twitter.com/ngZ4cFwRWK

What’s more, she confirmed it.
I accept your 3d leg. As I know you accept my 3d hand??????❤️

Even Vanity Fair were unable to shove this one under the carpet, although they promised to cover up the evidence for the online version.
As for @Oprah, how can we expect her to juggle it all with just two hands?
¯_(ツ)_/¯_/¯ (We are correcting this error online.) https://t.co/QNd74YtSTz— VANITY FAIR (@VanityFair) January 25, 2018
Yes, truly it would seem this mystery is far from over. Either Oprah has stolen an extra hand, or had it digitally removed from every public appearance she has ever made.
Regardless, this story is far from being over.
