Diablo Cody: Don't Pimp Me ... or my Feet!

Posted Feb 23rd 2008 1:30PM by TMZ Staff

Diablo CodyHer name's not Diablo for nothin'! Diablo Cody -- the "Juno" screenwriter and former stripper is flaming hot at Stuart Weitzman for getting her in the middle of a publicity stunt she claims she wasn't aware of.

Every year, Weitzman makes a pair of "Cinderella" shoes to be worn at the Oscars by a rising female star. This year he chose Cody, and she agreed to sport the special shoes. Then she found out they were made with 1,800 Kwiat diamonds -- and worth a million-dollars!

Cody wrote on her myspace blog: "I'm actually really pissed about this, now that I think about it. They're using me to publicize their stupid shoes and nobody asked me. I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide. I'm sorry if I sound like a party-pooper, but Jeebus."

Maybe she wants to wear clear, six-inch Lucite heels instead!

46. OMG you can't judge her on her past thats soooo ignorant. She has her right to complain like everybody else. so everyone should shut her a pie hole.

47. She sounds very stupid. How could she not know. She met with Weitzman and chose a shoe! She knew, she's just a dumb ass that can write. Let's see if she can write more than one piece, I think not.

48. Since when does anyone in "the business" do anything without enquiring as to what is expected of them? I know she is "up and coming" but is she also out of touch and ignorant?

Posted at 12:42AM on Feb 24th 2008 by How about asking a few questions?

49. Where did she strip at? Livestock auctions? Funerals? In front of the 7-11? At the school for the blind? Around here, strippers are usually women that you WANT to see naked!

50. Just add her to my big c**t list.

51. It's sad that there is so much hatred for someone who did something successful. Sounds like jealousy to me. And I'm sorry...I do not blame her one bit if she doesn't want to be an advert for a clothing/shoe designer! The Oscar's is about movies first and foremost...the fashion thing is an unfortunate/fortunate (depending on your taste) add on. Maybe it isn't so bad that one person in Hollywood chooses to not play the Hollywood whore....for Christ's sake who made these stupid rules/expectations for famous people? As for the stripper comments....a little obvious and very unoriginal, do the world a favour and grow a frontal lobe.

52. She's showing her age...an agreement is an agreement. She should know, of all people, the mechanics of the skin trade. So what if people broke their backs mining for the diamonds...she was told that, and could have opted out. No sympathy for the golden child, sorry.

53.
Allison (#48)--The problem isn't that she doesn't want to be an advertisement......the problem is that she already agreed and only NOW is complaining about it. All she had to do was say "no" when they first asked her. If she didn't want to be an advertisement, why did she say "yes" in the first place? She's not stupid, she's a smart woman. Complaining now is just juvenile.

54. What an ungrateful bitch. She's lucky she's not turning tricks in some back alley right now (AND I say LUCKY b/c Juno is STUPID and shouldn't have been nominated for ANYTHING). Stuart Weisman should take the honor away from her; whores (strippers - the same thing) don't deserve this.

55. She was a flucking stripper for Christ sakes, she's bend over a show you her cootch for a damn dollar, she new what was going on.

56. Newsflash, Emo kids: she went with her freakin' STYLIST (oh, she's a rebel outsider, that one!) to try on the free shoes, knowing full well that they that they had blood diamonds on them, AND had them make her a 2nd pair of shoes, also gratis, but didn't give a rat's ass about pimping herself until the shoe story ran that referred to her as a former stripper. Diablo knew the drill & is hardly a victim of some sort of evil shoe cabal. I daresay that she's doing a bang-up job of working the shoes to suit the image she's carefully cultivated of herself (wonder if her PR people helped her come up with this?) - she's still getting the press for being chosen to wear them, but oh sweet Jeebus how she HATES it! Pretty principled stand for someone whose work has spawned the manufacture & sale of the official Juno hamburger phone. But she's not part of the machine. Not at all. What a tool. Loved the film, though.

57. Kwiat diamonds are conflict free diamonds. They are not "blood" diamonds.

58. 15. I love her. Just read her book.

Her personality and quirks made Juno so good. So why are people surprised when she is just as blunt in real life?

.................

Great point!

59. Juno IS so good because it is based on a real life story. She is related to ME. I am gldd she blew off those shoes...dog ugly in my book.

60. She should just be Diablorella for the night and wear the slippers.
