Over the next few months, Hollywood's hottest writer, Diablo Cody, will see her second and third scripts rushed into development. One of those, Girly Style, is a girl's version of Superbad. The other is a horror film called Jennifer's Body, starring Transformers' Megan Fox, and it's about -- wait for it -- a cheerleader that eats boys. Literally. If you want to know what kind of mind could come up with such a thing, a good place to start is with Cody's 2005 memoir Candy Girl, which chronicles her...

She has to write the script for Candy Girl. Which was one of the funniest, interesting, moving book I have ever read. Cody is so nerdy, cute, funny and I hope she has a ton of success.

If I can't manage to hook up an engagement to this girl then I'd like to at least meet her one day.

Can't wait for Juno, Thank You For Smoking was pretty kick ass.

I recently read her book. It wasn't very good.

Yeah, I heard that from someone else too. I liked Juno a lot though. Maybe she should stick to screenplays.

Nobody likes a tourist, and that's what the story of Candy Girl is. "Oh, I KNOW! I can strip for a little while, and then I'll string some words together using a rhyming dictionary and make a book about it!"

She's a terrible writer, and did not deserve the Oscar. I hope her career dies.
