hole.pngI don’t know how I missed this in this week’s trades, but I guess that’s what Pajiba is for: Diablo Cody has sold yet another screenplay, this time for a “comedic supernatural thriller” starring Transformers babe Megan Fox, titled Jennifer’s Body. Which is also the title of a Hole song, and I don’t think that’s an accident–an entire scene in the Cody-scripted Juno revolves around a song from the same album (I *think* it was “Doll Parts”, but I could be wrong). This puts Cody and I in an exclusive club: we’re possibly the only mid-90s Courtney Love apologists left.

Pajiba also spots a kinship between former stripper Cody and Fox, who “looks like she would be working the pole in some dive in Panorama City if not for the serendipitous intervention of Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay.” For her part, on her blog Cody says Fox “is hotter than the earth’s core. And now–Hollywood’s tiresome profusion of ‘girlfriend roles’ be damned–she’s going to literally get out there AND DESTROY SOME FUCKING BOYS.”

    No way, Monet.

    I can’t wait to hear about which Asian film Cody ripped this one off from.
