Doing her best impersonation of Angelina Jolie's infamous awkward leg flash at the Oscars, "Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe showed off one of her smooth gams as she left the Chateau Marmont the other night.

The 28-year-old really knows how to go out on a limb.

"Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe managed to stay dry underneath an umbrella as she walked around SoHo this weekend.
