Welcome to fame, Diablo Cody. To your left you will see the Church of Scientology ushering forth newly brainwashed celebrities to reveal to them super secrets inside their highly guarded resort—err, I mean Church. To your right, that’s the good ol’ red carpet with cameras sparkling and reporters asking “Who are you wearing?!” Well? Who ARE you wearing, Diablo?

Not Stuart Weitzman.

After being taken to check out her “Oscar shoes”, Diablo Cody agreed to wear the retro-style silver heels with rose brooches affixed to the toe. Then she read this: “More than 1,800 Kwiat diamonds weighing 100 carats were used to make the roses, and 400 of them have been incorporated into the design of the shoe, which is worth over $1 million.”

Wait, what? Million dollar shoes? As if that wasn’t lavish enough, Stuart Weitzman designed a SECOND pair of shoes for her to feel more comfy in after she walked the red carpet: a ballerina flat with a similar diamond design. This is the first time the designer has ever created a changeover pair of shoes for the Oscars. So why did we see her accept the award in relatively boring looking golden flats?

Because no one told her the shoes were a million dollars, a sure sign that Weitzman was simply trying to ride her coattails / get her to “name drop” / pimp her. And in her blogging opinion, that ain’t cool!

It should be mentioned, however, that Mr. Weitzman was very gracious about it, saying a couple days before the show: “I would expect she probably won’t wear them. She made that very clear,” he said, adding, politely, “It’s Diablo’s day, and she can do whatever she wants. I’m just embarrassed that she wrote what she wrote.”

She gladly accepted the leopard-print flowy dress from Dior though. And I didn’t think it was cute. But that’s just me.
