Diablo Cody, writer of "Juno" and former stripper, will speak at UF on Tuesday night.

The free show will take place at the Phillips Center at 8 p.m. with first-come-first-serve seating, according to a news release from Accent, the Student Government speaker's bureau, which is sponsoring the event.

Cody was paid $40,000 for her appearance, said Steven Blank, Accent chairman.

"We're totally stoked for it," Blank said.

Cody recently won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for "Juno." She also wrote a memoir in 2006 called "Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper."

"Obviously, she has an awesome story," Blank said with a laugh.

Blank said Cody's UF show would be modeled after Bravo's "Inside the Actors Studio" with Mike Foley, a journalism professor, peppering Cody with questions.
