Diablo Cody: It

‘Juno’ scriptwriter Diablo Cody and her husband Daniel oaurio have become first-time parents with the birth of a baby boy. The wee lad, whom they’ve named Marcello Daniel, weighed in at 3.2kg, with both mother and baby are said to be doing well.

Diablo – who was born Brook Busey – announced the happy news via her Twitter page, writing, “We had our boy early this morning! 7lbs 2oz, lightly moustachioed.”

Let’s hope Diablo doesn’t pass on some of her own childhood worries, though. The 32-year-old writer has admitted that her movie ‘Jennifer’s Body’ – starring Megan Fox as a dead cheerleader who returns to kill and eat her classmates – was inspired by her own teenage angst.

She confesses, “When I started the script, I was thinking about what’s scary to me and I decided girls are scary! one of the first lines of the movie is, ‘Hell is teenagers.’ If you think about all the subgenres of horror – vampires, werewolves, zombies – none of these transformations are as profound as puberty. The experience of becoming an adolescent is horrifying.”
