You'd think that launching a new TV show — Showtime's United States of Tara [1] — would be enough to keep Diablo Cody busy these days. But at the TCA press tour [2] this morning, the Oscar-winning writer had something else on her mind: her upcoming guest spot on 90210 [3].

"I don't know if they want me talking about it — I'm sure they're deeply ashamed, but I'm very excited," she said. "I've written about 90210 in Entertainment Weekly [4] several times because I'm completely obsessed with the show, both incarnations old and new. They actually called and said, 'Would you like to be on 90210?' And I said,' I don't care if you want me to wear a bear suit, I'll do anything on 90210.'"

So, will she be wearing a bear suit for the spot, which she's filming at the end of the month? Cody said she didn't know — but a reporter told Cody she'd heard she'd be playing herself and working with Tori Spelling in an episode directed by Jason Priestly.

"They have not told me this!" she exclaimed. "Oh, I swear to God, I have to go outside. I did not know that. I love Jason Priestly, I love Tori Spelling. I'm so psyched!"
