Shoe Guru to Diablo -- You Picked 'Em Out, Girl!

The shoe designer whom Diablo Cody slammed for trying to whore her out with a pair of million-dollar shoes (she says) is kicking back at the Oscar winner.

Stuart Weitzman tells TMZ that Diablo actually selected the shoes herself, even choosing diamond roses to adorn them! You can't get that at American Apparel!

"I have been making a special pair of shoes to be worn at the Academy Awards for a number of years. This year - more so than in any previous year - the lady who was given the opportunity to wear it was quite involved in the design process. Diablo Cody sent me examples of the type of shoes she liked and actually did the final selection herself, choosing a three-inch retro style T-strap as well as a changeover pair of ballerinas.

She chose to adorn the shoes with medium-sized diamond roses from three different sizes offered to her. Why she seems to be so surprised as to the attention being paid to her and these shoes, I cannot answer. It should certainly come as no surprise that a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes would generate excitement at the Academy Awards.

Regardless, what should matter is the fact that this talented woman won an Oscar this weekend. I offered her the opportunity initially because I so enjoyed her film, and I'm very happy for her success. I wish her all the best."

33. Who is she?

That's the best they could find for shoes worth a million? Now that would have been a perfectly good waste of beautiful shoes.

35. Is this guy nuts? Who in the hell would be stupid enough to give a stripper anything worth that much money??!!?? He should have folded a fiver in half over his nose-she would have appreciated, and certainly recognized, the gesture.

36. It honestly doesn't matter because she didn't wear them! I watched last night and when she was on stage she was in a pair of FLATS! There were nothing on them....

37. The shoes wouldn't have gone with the dress she borrowed from Wilma Flintstone anyway.

38. Did anyone really expect a stripper to honor a commitment?

39. The way she dresses, you'd think she was Edith Prickley's daughter.

40. She's ungrateful and obviously does not understand how hollywood works. Stripper tries to make a statement...whooptie-doo...don't get so righteous so fast ...ungrateful wench. Slink back under the goth stripper rock you crawled out from...

41. Give me break! Diablo Cody is not even your real name. You've already sold out by taking on a Hollywood name but are way too cool to wear a pair of million dollar shoes. You are a typical Minneapolis Uptown poser. Jet black hair, tats and animal prints are nothin new, Honey! What's next, draping yourself all over Marilyn Manson? Predictable. You're already so over.

42. She didn't mind whoring herself out for the Dior gown. And if she doesn't want the publicity, why even talk to the press about it and keep doing so and slamming Stuart Weitzman, who has responded like a gentleman.?

It working a stripper pole good exercise? She looks like she could use some of that, in addition to some class.

43. I love that she is more than happy to tell everyone that she is wearing Dior, but feels that wearing the shoes would cause her to "sell out". If she truly had an issue, she could have resolved it quietly instead of making a spectacle of herself. Have a little class. Oh, Right---she is a stripper. never mind.

44. I am a huge fan of Stewart Weitzman and am obviously less than impressed with Diablo's attention-seeking tactics. He is an amazing designer and anyone should be so lucky to wear his creations for free.

45. Stuart Weitzman has more class in his fingernail that Diablo will ever have in her whole body. Guess she does not realize that it is an honor to be chosen to wear Mr. Weitzman's shoes at the Academy Awards. Mr. Weitzman, I love your shoes and I admire you for having your Annual Celebrity Shoe Auction to benefit Ovarian Cancer, you are the best!
