Juno

A writer who claims to have written the sequel to 'Juno' is selling the script on eBay for $100,001. That's a lot of money for a script that’s probably never going to see the light of day.
The anonymous seller includes a note that says the script should be taken to any production company that "wants to jump on the bandwagon."
The winning bidder is promised "a hard copy (of the script), an electronic PDF file and a copy on CD". The seller also adds, "The screenplay is copyrighted and registered with the WGA (Writer's Guild Of America)."
Unfortunately for the seller, there are no bids for the script.

What an evening for Diablo Cody who just won an award for 'Original Screenplay for Juno.' Diablo has come a long way since dancing on poles as a stripper. Now she is holding on to another type of metal, the Oscar. Seems like anyone can make it in Hollywood.
During her speech, Diablo began to cry and said, ”what is happening? This is for the writers, and I want to thank all the writers. I especially want to thank my fellow nominees because I worship you guys and I'm learning from you every day, so thank you very much. I want to thank the Academy, I want to thank Fox Searchlight, Mr. Mudd, Mandate, Dan Dubiecki. I want to thank our incredible cast including the superhuman Ellen Page. I want to thank Jason Reitman, who I consider a member of my family, and I'm in awe of his talent as a filmmaker. I want to thank Sarah Self. I want to thank Mason Novick who knew I could do this before I did. And most of all, I want to thank my family for loving me exactly the way I am.”
Congrats Diablo!

Mega starlet Drew Barrymore sat on the other side of the table for the upcoming issue of Interview Magazine. In the March issue, Drew Barrymore interviews Oscar nominee Ellen Page, the star of Juno. Page and Barrymore are currently working together on another project, which is Drew's directorial debut.
Here's a snippet from the interview with the girls:
DB: "What's your idea of a perfect day?"
EP: "Lord. I don't know. Maybe wake up, have some delicious coffee, eat some delicious fruit, then go for a bike ride to a lake and bring a good book. And read and swim and read and swim — just something super simple, I guess. Mellow."
DB: "And what about the next five years? What are your aspirations?"
EP: "I hesitate about having aspirations that are too intense, because I just don't know what's going to happen. As corny as it sounds, I guess the answer would be remaining as honest as possible and having the control to play roles that are fulfilling and challenging to me and that I feel passionate about. And I hope, in the next five years, that's going to be something I'll be able to do consistently."
DB: "What's most surreal about your life?"
EP: "Well, I did Oprah yesterday, and then I went to the NBR [National Board of Review] Awards last night and met Kate Winslet, whom I adore. I was all star-struck and trying to be supercool, but she came over to me!
