Announcing a pregnancy is a big deal, and some moms-to-be have trouble deciding when the best time is to tell their family and friends that a babe is on the way. Diablo Cody, 31, best known for winning an Oscar for writing Juno, took another approach. Today, she twittered:
"Thanks for the congrats on my fetus! No secrets here; just thought it would be fun to see how big I could get before someone noticed."
What did you do?
Diablo Cody arrived at the Palm Springs International Film Festival last night looking gorgeously vintage glam, with a bright red lip and sizzling eyes. And most impressively, she managed to wear both without sacrificing her look's demure vibe. How can you pull off the same classic combination? To find out, just read more.
Jimmy Choo designer Tamara Mellon brought together some friends in Hollywood last night to celebrate the launch of her new collection for H&M. Stars like Olivia Wilde, Rashida Jones, Whitney Port and the Hilton sisters posed for photos with Tamara on the carpet before heading in to see a special performance from MIA. Jimmy Choo is known for their shoes, but this line will also include Tamara's first-ever clothing collection and many of the stars were sporting her designs for their evening out.

She's tackled pregnant teens, monster teens, and now Diablo Cody is going for . . . sweet teens? Yes, the dialogue diva herself has been tapped to produce and direct an adaptation of the Sweet Valley High books.
Even though the manufactured slang in Jennifer's Body started to get to me, I'm interested to see what Cody does with the beloved books. I read a lot of the series (and even watched the TV show), and I'm happy to see the books get revived in the pop-culture domain, even if it does involve Jessica telling Elizabeth that she's "Jello, so lime-green Jello."
UPDATE: Diablo herself replied to my tweet about made-up slang with "Thinking I might play it straight." There ya have it!
The first thing you should know about Jennifer's Body is that this movie is not terrifying. Yes, there's a bit of gore and a few cringe-worthy moments (like when Jennifer smiles through a mouthful of blood), but the scariest parts are given away in the trailer. It's more of a high school comedy than a slasher flick, and you can see the transitions from funny to freaky coming a mile away.
The second thing you should know is that this movie is not Juno. Though the two films penned by Diablo Cody fall into different genres, I was still hoping for some of the same magic from her award-winning little movie. Instead, certain elements — like the invented teenage slang — didn't bother me in Juno but really annoyed me in Jennifer's Body.
The movie's not all bad though, so to read more of my thoughts, just read more
