Diablo Cody, Ex-Stripper, Too Good to Wear $1 Million Shoes at Oscars

I haven’t seen Juno. I hope, for Diablo Cody‘s sake, that it’s as good as everyone says it is.

I’ve been reading Cody’s articles in Entertainment Weekly, and I am not impressed. By the end of the first article, I already knew what she was going to say before she said it. I found her to be over-cutesy, and predictable. Her article reminded me of something I would have written in high school, or something I would have written if I were short on time. But the difference here is, I don’t write for Entertainment Weekly. You’d think you’d try a little harder. When I saw the little cartoon of her EW made to go along with her article, I thought, she’ll probably spend next week writing some smartass article about her caricature.

I wasn’t wrong.

So, with that said, I am finding more and more Diablo Cody to be a pretentious twit. To know that Stuart Weitzman chose her to wear his $1 million shoes at this year’s Oscars was such an honor for her. Sure, were they the most beautiful shoes in the world? Not especially! But, I think if someone had asked me to wear a pair of $1 million shoes, I would have probably worn a dress with a big neon sign saying, “LOOK AT MY FEET!” And at the end of the night, if they wanted the shoes back, I might have said that I lost them, or that a group of ninjas attacked my limo and said they were going to cut off my feet if I didn’t hand over the shoes to them.

But, does Cody have this mindset? Nooo! Because she suddenly became an Oscar-nominated writer (and eventually went on to win for Best Original Screenplay), she had this to say:

“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.”

So, instead of wearing a pair of $1 million shoes to the Oscars, something that only a few people get the opportunity to do, she channels Betty Rubble and goes in some animal-printed stripper dress and a pair of $3 ballet slippers. I guess all I have to say is, enjoy this moment to be too big for your britches while you can, Diablo, because it isn’t going to last forever.

buy it at insound!
