for original screenplay, "Juno" also wrote a memoir that has a brief Steve Perry reference - here's a review of the book (bottom of 8th paragraph down): http://www.flakmag.com/books/candygirl.html
I thought her name sounded familar when I was watching the Academy Awards.

Thanks for the post.

Despite the articles semi-negative review, I'll be reading the book. Interesting insert:

From Diablo Cody's "Candy Girl"

"it was the girls-in-bulk thing that repulsed me. Hundreds of girls on the floor at some clubs, all reduced to begging dogs for an army of smug little emperors. It's like a girl buffet, and no one really savors the brown goop at a buffet.
