wait, what happened to united states of tara?
US of Tara was picked up for a third season and Diablo is part of it. So nothing happened to it.
What happened to Diablo Cody’s EW column? EW had a huge love-fest going on with her after “Juno” was a hit, but then soon after Cody’s “Jennifer’s Body” follow-up with Megan Fox crashed & burned at the box office, her column was unceremoniously dumped and Diablo has subsequently been virtually ignored by the magazine. Anyone know more details about this?
Who cares? Overrated.
She stopped writing a column for EW because they could no longer afford to pay her.
Times are tough. Especially for print.
