Diablo Cody

From a pregnant teenager to a possessed teenager, Diablo Cody‘s imagination has been making headlines in Hollywood (that’s Juno and Jennifer’s Body, in case you’re wondering). This time, however, she’s making headlines of her own. The screenwriter — whose real name is Brook Busey — recently confirmed via Twitter that she and her husband, Dan, are expecting.
