Bye bye, blondie!

Diablo Cody debuted her new hair color at the Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala Ceremony last night, opting for a darker 'do.

What do U think of Diablo's new (old) look?

We were digging the blonde!

Diablo Cody is an Oscar-winning screenwriter, with a background fairly suitable to handle such a project as the Hugh Hefner biopic.

But is she really doing it?

All we know, thanks to a little Tweet directly from Hef himself, is that he took a meeting with Diablo to discuss the "the Brian Grazer Playboy film".

The film he is referring to is the buzzed about biopic that has everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Robert Downey Jr. being pegged to play the master Playboy himself. Nothing solid has been said about the flick since 2007, when another writer was pegged to write the script. Two years is a long time and a lot has changed. Maybe Hef is looking for a quirky, female take on his life.

Wouldn't that be interesting?!

Neither Diablo or Hef brought up the meeting again on their Twitters, so we're still unsure what the meeting was about, but we really hope it is some good news for Diablo.

The "It Girl" of the screenwriting world, Diablo Cody, is taking a new turn in her work!

The Juno and Jennifer's Body writer has negotiated a deal to buy the rights to Francine Pascal's Sweet Valley High series!!!

We don't know about you, but we love this idea!

In case you were more of a Baby-Sitters Club fan in the 80's and 90's, the story of Sweet Valley High centers around two sisters - Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield - who live in the fictional Sweet Valley, CA.

Jessica is the boy-crazy, snobbish cheerleader of the two, while Elizabeth is an intellectual go-getter.

Cody, who's an avid fan of the SVH books, will be adapting the series for Universal, which was decided after an all-out bidding war went down for Diablo's film adaptation, including offers from Fox and Mandate Pictures.

Thoughts????
