Diablo Cody is bristling after topless photos of the stripper-turned-Oscar winner emerged on the net.

Whilst the Juno scribe has made no secret of her former career, Diablo has gone on the defensive about the furore surrounding her saucy pics.

Writing on her MySpace blog, she fumes: "Hey! Did you guys hear about the [pictures] I voluntarily posted on the Internet myself? What a tantalizing 'scoop!' Seriously, I thought nudity was only a scandal if the photos were leaked by some crumb-bum rat or vengeful ex."

She adds: "They can dress me up, they can give me awards, they can coach me on the right responses, and they can sand the callouses off my giant [bleep]ing feet, but I will always be me. And I will never be ashamed."
