Anne Vyalitsyna: Did Adam Levine's ex originate Jolie-ing?

Important photographic evidence has emerged making a case that Anne Vyalitsyna (or "Anne V" as she's known in modeling circles) actually originated Angelina Jolie's leg-thrust-out Oscar pose months before Jolie herself even had the germ of an idea of wearing a deeply-slit black velvet gown on the red carpet.

On Monday (April 2), a rep for Adam Levine and Anne Vyalitsyna announced that the couple had called it quits after two years together, although it's not clear if this new Jolie-ing -- or, rather, Anne V-ing -- controversy had anything to do with the split.
