Screenwriter Diablo Cody follows her muse to 'Ricki and the Flash'

A lot of people in Hollywood say they don't read their own press. Because even if you find a good review, it's the bad one that sticks, and that ends up warping your sense of self. It can feel like a line, though, in this age of Google alerts and selfie sticks — especially in a business that places so much emphasis on self-image.

But coming from Diablo Cody, you buy it.

People said a lot of mean stuff about her after she won an Oscar for her first screenplay for the 2007 comedy "Juno." Nothing about her rang authentic to her critics: her neon hair, her tattoos, her affinity for leopard print. Her pen name, which she'd plucked from the song "El Diablo" by Arcadia. Her script's quirky dialogue, like "honest to blog!" or "your Eggo is preggo." And especially her post-college stint as a stripper, for which she was subsequently branded "an overpriced call girl who got lucky once" on an episode of "Family Guy."
