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.

Welcome to the machine Miss Cody.
“…the dress you bought at Lu Ann’s Animal Print Muu Muu Barn.”
I love you. This site is like Dlisted if MK read newspapers.
Diablo who? She won an Oscar? When? Was that show televised lately? She looks kinda like a Demi Moore, and Shannon Dougherty love child that was dressed by Ashton Kutcher. I can hear him now. “Don’t worry it looks hot!” “And after the show I can use it in the yard as a tent later!” “Can I sleep outside tonight??!!”
That dress is actually Dior by John Galliano, but I can see how you’d be mistaken. I still love ya, and I’ve seen pictures of the Stuart Weitzman shoes she was going to wear. I hope she had another dress lined up to go with those shoes, maybe she should have worn them after all.
On another note, I’m pretty sure Diablo Cody is not her real name.
