Remember those million dollar shoes we showed you yesterday? Well, the price tag came as a shock to Juno writer Diablo Cody, who took to her MySpace page to clear the air:

“I must have somehow missed the part where my shoes cost a MILLION beep DOLLARS and my ‘choice’ of footwear would be publicized nationwide. I honestly thought they were just sparkly shoes.

I’m flattered that they picked me (surprise!) to wear the Pimp Shooz… [but] I’m actually really upset about this… They’re using me to publicize their stupid shoes and NOBODY ASKED ME. I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide.”

Diablo sported gold ballet flats on the red carpet before her big Oscar win for best original screenplay. We tend to agree that the thought of spending a million dollars to craft a pair of shoes seems ridiculous, but this whole thing just reeks of “publicity stunt.”
