UPDATE: Jan. 25, 2018, 5:21 p.m. EST According to several tweets from Vanity Fair, Reese's "third leg" was, in fact, just the lining of her dress. Oprah's third hand, however, was the result of an editing mishap, and will be fixed online.

Welcome, friends, to this installment of Photoshop Fails. On the docket today, we have the 2018 Hollywood Portfolio issue of Vanity Fair, which may or may not contain not one but two Photoshop errors.

Of course, the internet has already noticed.

Let's direct our attention to the cover, on which everyone looks very nice. Also, Reese Witherspoon appears to have three legs: one standing straight up and two bent at the knee. Some people say the unbent leg is the back of her dress or a chair or whatever. I am not saying they're lying, but I simply do not see it. Reese definitely looks like she has three legs.

She pulls it off!

In a tweet, Witherspoon did not deny having a third lower limb. "Well...I guess everybody knows now...I have 3 legs. I hope you can still accept me for who I am," she wrote. Way to let the photo editor off the hook, Reese!

And the 'shop debacle doesn't end there. In another photo, Oprah has her hand around Reese's waist. She also has her two other hands resting in her lap. That's right: Oprah has three hands, which is the same number of legs Reese has.

Is this all somehow related to A Wrinkle in Time? How many elbows does Tom Hanks have? Stay tuned.
