Juno scribe Diablo Cody is at the center of a shoe frenzy.

The Hollywood newcomer, who won an Oscar last night for best original screenplay, had her stylists approach shoe designer Stuart Weitzman about borrowing a pair of diamond-encrusted Stuart Weitzman heels (valued at $1-million) for the Academy Awards.

However, when the press got hold of this story — former exotic dancer and self-proclaimed anti-establishment champion wants to wear the priciest shoes on the red carpet — and it started to harm her indie cred, she switched to denial mode on her MySpace blog:

This looks really attention-whorey, and for once, I didn’t do it on purpose.

I’m flattered that they picked me (surprise!) to wear the Pimp Shooz, but WTF, right?

ETA: 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.

Except her stylist approached Stuart Weitzman about it, so technically, they didn’t need to ask her. And in the end, she wore a pair of gold flats.

And as an aside… She has a stylist? I love a hot pair of heels, but not when they cost literally a million times more than the dress you bought at Lu Ann’s Animal Print Muu Muu Barn. A thought.
