Twittered

More Diablo Cody rage:

It seemed pretty innocuous at first, until I stumbled across one Twitter:

I just bought an amazing dress for my girl Dana’s premiere tomorrow. I am SO gonna get Fugged!

Not that it’s without precedent, but it just bugs me. Really, the Fug girls are going to follow her around, Fugging her constantly? She’s that important a person, that edgy and interesting in her apparel choices? Maybe she wore a hideous Pebbles Flintstone dress to the Oscars, but it doesn’t quite count if you’re expecting to get Fugged — practically goading them into it. It’s just another example of someone thinking highly of themselves while pretending they don’t think highly of themselves. You want to have a colossal ego? Have a colossal ego, and be upfront about it. Aaron Sorkin does a really nice job showing his off. You want to be known as “Oscar-winning* screenwriter” instead of “former stripper”? Well, the first step is to write a good screenplay, but once you’ve done that, maybe try hiring a publicist who will force the media to downplay the stripper connection, now that it no longer suits your purposes. Turning your back on what helped you broke through to mainstream success will be sure to give you indie cred!

*Still makes me shudder.
