The screenwriter of Juno, which won the Oscar for best original screenplay - Diablo Cody used to be a stripper. The web now is full with the photos that have emerged purportedly showing the newly minted Hollywood darling with her top off. The photos will turn a real scandal.

In one of the undated photos, Cody, 29, wears a "bra" of something that looks like shaving cream or whipped cream.

The "scandal" I'm talking about now concerns Diablo Cody, the mind behind the hit teenage pregnancy movie "Juno" and the triumphant and proud winner of an Academy Award for best screenwriting. Cody is not what you'd call your run of the mill writer – that much became obvious when she made no secret of the fact that she used to worked as a stripper in Minneapolis. From stripping to winning an Oscar – now that's what I call the American dream fulfilled. Well, it didn't take long after her triumphant win and we're now hit with a bunch of "scandalous" Diablo Cody photos. The photos involve a couple of topless shots and nothing more scandalous than that. But hey, it's an Oscar-winning writer we're talking about, right? Oh, the shame!

Even more of a turn-off (from the sensationalist side, I mean) is the fact that Cody posted on her personal blog and admitted (in her own, slightly twisted and quirky way) that she put the photos online herself years ago. On her MySpace web page, she’s written, “Hey! Did you guys hear about the 'nude' (except not really) pics I voluntarily posted on the Internet myself? What a tantalizing 'scoop!' Seriously, I thought nudity was only a scandal if the photos were leaked by some crumb-bum rat or vengeful ex” she said. Good girl. Does that mean the "scandal" is over? I sure hope so.
Cody is not interested in what people think about the pictures because, according to her, she’s just being herself. “As I’ve said in the past, they can dress me up, they can give me awards, they can coach me on the right responses, and they can sand the callouses off my giant feet, but I will always be me. And I will never be ashamed. No secrets, ever. (Well, hardly any.) Just like I promised,” she said in her post.
