#i thought googling ‘how to say gay’ in welsh would be funny but it just made me sad

[cloud-based-and-rainpilled]

I’ve been highly confused as to why Michael “deeply openly thirsting on Twitter about David Tennant for half a decade” Sheen is half-in half-out the closet but apparently Wales is absurdly homophobic lmao what the fuck how is a country the size of New Jersey that much of a hater bruh we out number the shit out of you

[gallavichthings]

Continuing our series of interviews with acclaimed authors in the Gallavich fandom, we’ve flipped the script from last week, and I, Jen, have asked Lise the questions this time around. @thehonorarybeaumont​ aka Blodeuwedd on AO3, is the writer of over 70 Ian & Mickey fics, as well as the creator and moderator of this very fan blog. Some of their best known titles include: Written In the Stars, Always Starting Over, Across the Hall, and To College, Gay Clubs, and Best Friends.

GT: How did you come up with your username on tumblr/AO3? L: I change my Tumblr username a bit often. Not like, all the time, but once a year or so, depending on my latest obsession lol. I'm actually thinking of changing it again, might be time. But the one I have now it's because of a virtual novel in an app game called Choices.

GT: I actually always wondered about your AO3 name, because I don't recognize where it's from. L: [That]'s a username I've been using on and off ever since I was a teenager. It's the name of a woman made from flowers from a [Welsh] legend. I read the legend and it stuck with me, so I used her name once in something. I soon realized it was a very good username for websites where you can't have the same user as someone else, because no one else ever uses it! Lol

GT: Nice! I think I actually googled it one time, because I thought it was so unusual. Tell us a little bit about yourself. L: I love how unusual it is, though I don't think it being difficult to remember or spell helps me much. I always have such a hard time talking about myself, because I feel like I always say too much or too little, but I'll try. I'm Brazilian, I have lived in Ireland and I currently live in Montreal, I'm an English teacher but I studied Psychology and I'm currently studying Web design. I'm such a mix of things, lol. I love reading, though lately more fanfiction than books, and writing, though I haven't much lately. I also love listening to music and singing and dancing - I sing terribly, but I dance quite well, actually. Hm, I guess that's about it.

GT: Sweet. I didn't know you lived in Ireland. L: I did! For one year, ten years ago. I'd wanted to live abroad for years, and I'd also wanted to visit Ireland for years, so it was two dreams come true at once. I went there to study English, even though I was already a teacher back then - it was just the easiest way in, and you can always learn more, right? I worked as an au pair and lived with the family whose children I took care of. I learned a lot and I feel like I grew a lot too. I would love to go back one day, I loved Ireland.

GT: That's awesome. Can you share a bit about what it's like as a fan from another country participating in fandoms like Shameless, where it's predominantly American culture and English language being depicted both on the show and in fics? We have little pockets of fans from other countries, of course, but I'm wondering if that ever affects your connection to the material and the fandom, and if you ever befriend other fans from Brazil or other places you've lived. L: Watching shows from the US is very common in Brazil, so it isn't weird. Of course there are some references we may not get sometimes, or some jokes that aren't funny for us, or even some cultural aspects that we think are weird, but their culture isn't exactly unfamiliar to us because we watch so many movies and shows from there. So the weirdest that happens is me sometimes having to ask what a character meant by this or that sentence because I didn't get it. 

As for fanfiction, I myself only read and write in English at the moment. I realized that since I watch the show in English, it doesn't feel natural for me to either read or write a fic about it in Portuguese because it feels almost OOC. It's like I can't "hear their voices" in another language, because that's not the language they speak in my mind. I don't know if that makes sense.

As for making friends that watch Shameless, I've only done so online, so all the conversation is in English anyway. I did convince my bestie to watch the first seasons, but she gave up after season 4 and I couldn't say I blamed her lol. 

GT: I know we have a good amount of Russian fans with their own little fic community, and some Chinese. But I haven't seen a whole lot in Spanish, and I don't think I've ever seen Portuguese. Maybe a few French? L: I've seen plenty of Italian fans too, and there's a bunch of Brazilian fans on Twitter that I know of because of the Gallavich Things account, but I don't think I've ever really talked to any of them.

GT: When did you start reading fanfiction and when did you start writing it? L: Oh my god, ages ago! I don't remember when I started reading it or what the fic was, but I assume it was for the Darkover fandom, which was the one I wrote my first fic for - in Portuguese, on a notebook. Darkover was a series of sci-fi/fantasy books that I was obsessed with when I was a teenager. In hindsight, I'm not sure they're actually good, but I absolutely loved them back then.

I used to play an email role-playing game for that fandom, and I think it started from there. Or the other way around, I honestly can't remember. Since I read most of those books in Portuguese, I actually had Brazilian friends in the fandom, as well as from other countries. I'm still Facebook friends with some of them, decades later. It makes me happy.

GT: When did you start watching Shameless and what made you ship Ian and Mickey? L: I started watching mid season 3. I binged all the available episodes in two days, starting on a Friday, then on Sunday watched the new episode - it was 3x06. Talk about trauma lol. And I already knew of Ian and Mickey through Tumblr, but I didn't know any details. I guess I started shipping them even before I watched the show, to be honest, but the way Ian looked at Mickey still in season 2, completely infatuated, and the way Mickey clearly liked him back but was trying to hide it sealed it for me.

GT: Wow. You came in during heavy, high drama and angst. Lol. Though I guess that's almost all there was for a whiiiiiile there. Lol L: I think I actually came in during a great time, because things were happening on the show and season 3 is still my favorite. That being said, yes, a lot of drama

GT: Did you think that was the end for them like every time they were split apart in canon over and over again? What was it like being a shipper back in those days? L: I don't remember exactly, but I think I wasn't very worried about their fate at the end of season 3, when Ian leaves, because I could see Mickey wasn't happy and I imagined Ian would come back and there would be more of them. Their story was clearly not over. I only thought it was over at the end of season 5, when we found out Noel wouldn't be returning for season 6. That was a slap to the face.

GT: Yeah, that dark time I remember. And early s6, and s7 endgame, and s9 endgame... lol L: I gave up watching after season 5. Not because I was mad, though I was, but because I realized I didn't like the show anymore and had only been watching for Ian and Mickey's story. I watched only the first episode of season 6 and realized I honestly didn't care what happened to any of those other characters.

GT: Yeah. I understand. I made it like halfway through s6, but came crawling back for s10. Sigh.  L: I watched the S7 episodes with Mickey, of course, but I doubted they'd end up together. I only believed he might when they were closer, but yeah, that didn't happen. When 9x06 happened, I was in shock! But it seemed like a somewhat adequate ending for them. I mean, at least they were together. I was very happy when they were announced for season 10, and I didn't think it was a terrible season. And I'm actually enjoying S11, to be honest.

GT: When did you start writing Gallavich fanfiction? What made you start? L: I think I started writing Gallavich fics shortly after I started reading them, so I think during the hiatus after season 3. At first my fics canon-compliant and were either fixing canon or creating alternate or filling scenes. Then I branched from that. It was around that time that I really joined the fandom and that I created the Gallavich Things blog too.

GT: I was just gonna ask about that. Which came first, writing fic or creating the Tumblr page? L: Good question! According to AO3, my first fic was in April of 2013, and I think I created the blog in May, so there's that. First Gallavich Week was June of 2013, so you can see I went all-in for this fandom lol.

GT: Was it the first blog exclusively for IxM content? L: No, I don't think so. We had Team Gallavich back them (who were the ones who came up with the ship name, actually), and I think theirs was already just for them. But it was still their personal blog, and I couldn't find any Tumblr that served as kind of a curator/collectionner for Gallavich content, which is why I created. I never thought it would become as big as it did or that it would last as long!

GT: Thank you for your service!  L: Hahah, you're welcome!

GT: What's the most fun thing about writing Gallavich? L: I love their dynamics, especially in everyday moments. I love when them bicker and when their differences put them in different sides, but I also love when they team up or when they're soft and sweet with each other. But yeah, I think the bickering and the teasing is the most fun.

GT: What's the most difficult thing? L: The angst, because I don't want to make them suffer, but sometimes I have to. I always struggle with angst, because I don't think I can write it well enough. Also, getting their "voices" just right is a bit tough, especially for Mickey, because of all the slang - as much as I rely on the show itself for inspiration, English is not my native language and, even if it were, I'm not familiar with the Chicagoan speech and the south side slang, so that can be a struggle.

GT: Do you prefer writing Ian or Mickey? L: It's funny, I said I struggle more writing Mickey, and yet I prefer writing from his pov. It depends on the story, of course, but most of the time I write it from his perspective or I at least start with him. I think it's because we got to see so little of him in the beginning that I was always trying to fill that void.

GT: Who are your favorite characters aside from Ian and Mickey? Do you write them too? L: I think at the moment it's Veronica, but I used to like Mandy a lot. I included Mandy in a few fics, but I didn't write stories for her a lot. I wrote a combo Ian x Mickey and Lip x Mandy fic once, a neighbors AU called Across the Hall, that I'm really proud of. And I wrote a bit more of her for Shameless Big Bang stories, but I think that was it.

GT: I just reread that recently. It's a good one. :)) L: Thank you. :)

GT: How much research do you typically do before or during writing? L: When I write drabbles and one-shots I hardly ever research anything aside from vocabulary. If I'm writing a multi-chapter though, then I research every little thing, especially places and other local details. As a reader, I hate when I'm reading something and a small detail that doesn't make sense (like someone crossing what I know is a long distance in a couple hours) takes me out of the story, so I try to be as thorough as possible. I'm sure I still miss something here and there, but not for lack of trying.

GT: Yeah. I make up locations sometimes or leave some things purposely vague, but if you're gonna give facts, they shouldn't feel incorrect to someone who would know about it. What kind of fics do you write the most? (One-shots, multi-chapters, canon, AUs, fluffy, smutty, angsty…) L: One-shots definitely! Domestic, slice-of-life drabbles are my favorite thing to write, and I usually make it fluffy. I occasionally write longer one-shots and multi-chapters, but long fics demand a lot of motivation that I don't always have. Also, planning. I used to write canon-divergent stuff most, but now it's mostly straight up AUs when it's something longer. And I like writing smut too, no problem, though fluffy stuff is easier. And angst is definitely the hardest, but sometimes that's the mood I'm in.

GT: What does your writing process look like? Do you outline? Do you post as soon as the chapter is done or do you accumulate chapters before you start posting? L: On long fics, yes, I outline a lot. I plan chapter by chapter, even though most of the time I don't stick to it lol. But I like having a plan either way, something I can look back at when I'm lost. If the story spans a long time, I usually have a timeline too.

I would love to be the kind of person who just dumps a whole finished fic one day out of nowhere, but unfortunately I need validation to motivate me, so I hardly ever do that (usually just for Big Bang fics, and even then not always).

GT: What’s your favorite type of comments to receive? L: ANY!! Lol. Really though, I get so happy whenever I receive that email notification from AO3, and I love it when it's in an old fic! Any comment is great, but the ones where people tell me their favorite parts or lines or how they felt when they read it are the best! I also love when people enjoy my characterization, because that's the most import thing to get right to me. And I'm not gonna lie, I do like it when people say they cried reading something I wrote. :P

GT: Lol. I understand. Eliciting an emotional response feels significant. What's your favorite Gallavich fic that you’ve written so far and why? L: I'm proud of a lot of fics I've written, but I think Always Starting Over is the one that makes me the proudest. It's very angsty, and like I said I struggle with writing angst, so it wasn't easy to write it, but it made me feel accomplished. It's a longish fic too, for my standards, but I think I did a good job. It was a labor of love.

GT: What are some of your favorite fics and/or writers in the fandom? L: I know I won't remember everyone, and I apologize in advance. Also, I haven't been that active in the fandom lately, so all my favorites are some of the oldies lol. I love MintSauce, Loftec, LanJevinson, Jinko, koganphrancis, anomalously, ElfyDwarf, magneticdice, romanticalgirl, Shamelessquestions and you, of course. :)

GT: Aw, thanks. That's sweet. 💕 We have a lot of fave crossovers. Lol. What are your favorite tropes? L: I love hurt/comfort fics, so that's definitely one. In AUs I love a meet-cute, but meet-uglies are my favorite. Also a big fan of soulmate AUs and childhood friends fics.

GT: Yes, first meetings are so delicious, no matter what. Lol. What's a fanfic pet peeve of yours? L: I can't read a fic with too many grammar mistakes, sorry. A few is comprehensible, we're only human after all, but if it's a lot or the flow isn't good I just can't go on. So that and when they're out of character are probably my biggest peeves. Also, one they're one-dimensional - Ian is super naive and romantic and Mickey is violent and cold. Or Ian is manic and Mickey is stupid. None of them are just that, so it bothers me when that's all the writer seems to go for.

GT: Understandable. All badfic hallmarks. You said season 3 is your favorite earlier. Do you have a favorite single episode? L: Yes, 3x05, The Sins of My Caretaker is my favorite until today! It's such a great episode. I also love 4x11, Emily, one of the S1 ones, I think 1x04, the one where Debbie kidnaps little Casey. And more recently I loved the Gallavich wedding episode, not only because it was their wedding, but because it had all of them around the same storyline.

GT: What’s your favorite Ian x Mickey scene? L: The talk before the wedding, when they talk about their future and wanting kids. It was so clear to see how much they love each other and how much they've grown and their relationship has evolved. They've been through hell and high water, but here they are, together at last. It's such an honest scene and I love that they showed this intimate moment between them, this moment when it's just them and no one else. It's honest and full of love and with a bit of bater too, I just love all of it.

GT: If you could go back and change one thing in canon, what would it be? L: The hard part is picking only one lol. But definitely 3x666. It started so many terrible things for them. They were starting to actually build a relationship and that was so horrible and it destroyed everything. I think a lot of other bad things would have happened regardless, but they'd have faced it better if they'd been together. But that? How do you recover from that? I'd very much like to erase that from existence.

GT: It was a big turning point. Even if the show has pretty much erased it from canon at this point. Lol. What's coming up next? Do you think you'll ever write Gallavich again? L: Oh my god, I do hope so! I have WIP that I left for dead years ago that I do intend to finish. I have it planned out, but the last time I tried continuing it I had no clue how to get from where I was to where I wanted to be. The last time I wrote was a drabble for an event, probably Gallavich Week, and that's probably the next thing I'll write as well. I find it easier to write short fics because my motivation only has to last that long. So yes, probably drabbles and one that I'll finish that WIP.

GT: Awesome. I look forward to it! L: Oh please, don't hold your breath lol

GT: Well, thanks for being interviewed for your own blog. Lmao. Do you have anything else you'd like to say to the fandom, with the show wrapping up? L: Haha, thank YOU for interviewing me. Just that it's been a pleasure sharing this fandom with so many people, even when I wasn't getting any joy from the show itself. I stopped watching it for a while, but I never left the fandom. I've met great people and made real friends here, and I hope I was able to bring a bit of joy to some of you as well. :)

GT: I know you did. :))

Well, it’s been a few days since Donald Trump introduced a new word into the English language. This new word has been frequently used since Trump utilized it in a cryptic Twitter message. There are just a couple of problems with the word. Nobody knows what it means. Heck, we’re not even sure if it’s English. Let’s not forget the ongoing debate over the proper pronunciation. In case you are unfamiliar with this new buzzword, it is “covfefe”. Trump tweeted “Despite the constant negative press covfefe” in the early hours of May 30th and the internet has gone bananas trying to make sense of it. What did he mean? It has been speculated that it is a simple typo. Did he mean to type “coverage”? If so, he kind of leaves the Twitterverse hanging with such a sentence fragment. Maybe he just passed out face-first into his keyboard and pressed random letters with his nose as he slept. Hillary Clinton told a crowd that the word could have been a hidden message to the Russians. Trump finally deleted the tweet several hours later but the fire was lit. He poured a bit of gas on said fire when he later tweeted “Who can figure out the true meaning of ‘covfefe’???? Enjoy!” Naturally, such an event is bound to bring out some interesting comments. Here are the 15 most savage celeb responses to Trump’s #covfefe.

#1 Kal Penn Kal Penn is an actor known for his roles in the Harold and Kumar film series. He temporarily gave up his acting career to take a job within the Obama Administration. He left his post as an Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement a couple of times to resume his acting career. He was subsequently appointed to the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities. Penn was a staunch supporter of Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic nomination and his backing of the Democrats is a given. It should go without saying that Penn took advantage of an opportunity to chime in on the “covfefe” flap. Penn tweeted “I like that we all quickly Googled covfefe just to make sure”. He is probably right. It has been one of the most popular trending searches in the past couple of days.

#2 James Corden The English comedian and host of The Late Night Show with James Corden has enjoyed a successful career in television, theater, and movies. Corden tends to stay relatively silent when it comes to his political views. This seems to make sense when we consider that he is from another country and doesn’t particularly want to offend anyone or divide his audience. Still, he is known to hold liberal views which occasionally shine through. Like many other late night hosts of the past and present, Corden doesn’t shy away from taking his digs at the president. After all, the current president is like the golden goose to comedians. Corden seems to think that covfefe is a state of mind. A mood. In a cryptic tweet of his own, Corden made use of the new buzzword by saying “I’m gonna try to go back to sleep now. Everyone stay covfefe.”

#3 Colton Haynes Those who are familiar with this actor, singer, and model likely discovered him through his part in the television series Teen Wolf or for his role in Arrow. Either way, Colton’s star appears to be on the rise. It’s alright for Haynes to cast a few stones as he has had plenty hurled at him. As a gay male, it also makes a bit of sense that he would cast a few stones Donald Trump’s way if the right opportunity presented itself. Well, enter covfefe-gate and the 28-year-old Twitter user just couldn’t resist posting his thoughts. He wrote “Covfefe…sashay away” indicating that Covfefe actually sounds like the name of a contestant that would appear on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Colton’s inference has as much credibility as any other theory at this stage.

#4 Billy Eichner Eichner is a 38-year-old writer, actor, and comedian that has been in American Horror Story, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Parks and Recreation. He has also been hosting his own show Billy on the Streets which garnered a nomination for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host. The guy is seriously funny. While Billy does occasionally delve into politics on his show, he does it in a far more subtle way than some of his contemporaries. The thing is that when it comes to Donald Trump, one really doesn’t need to have a political leaning in order to get a laugh at his expense. Billy seems to think that covfefe could possibly be a verb after he responded to Trump’s tweet with “When they go low, we covfefe”. Everyone covfefe!!

#5 Zachary Levi Zachary Levi is yet another actor with a sharp sense of humor. He has also entered the music world with his voice being heard in a few popular songs. He won the Best Action Actor at the Teen Choice Awards and was ranked by Buddy TV as one of “TV’s Sexiest Men of 2011”. Zachary, unlike many on this list, isn’t very vocal when it comes to American politics but, like everyone on this list, he won’t pass up the chance to pile on the heap. Zachary actually defined covfefe when he tweeted, “Covfefe: to covet another’s fefe”. That is quite helpful but it still leaves the majority of us wondering what a “fefe” is? Is it anything like “Thou shalt not covet another man’s wife”? That sort of makes sense in the context in which Trump used it. Does it not?

#6 Zach Braff It has been said that there are a few people in The Don’s inner circle that know exactly what “covfefe’ means. Still, that leaves everyone else in the dark. It also might mean that Zach Braff is in Donald Trump’s close circle. Braff, who is perhaps best remembered for his role as J.D. in the television comedy Scrubs took to Twitter with his own response to Trump’s tweet. The known Democrat supporter commented, “Not only is covfefe a word, it’s the greatest word ever uttered.” Does he really know something that the rest of us don’t? Has a known Democrat infiltrated Donald Trump’s inner circle? There aren’t too many other explanations. Maybe Bill Nye offered Zach some insight into the matter when Braff appeared in an episode of Bill Nye Saves the World recently.

#7 Jimmy Kimmel Jimmy Kimmel has been making people laugh even before he started in show business back in 1989. The 49-year-old host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! has appeared in a few films and some television shows throughout his rise to stardom. He has generally kept his personal political views out of his arena but he strayed from that pattern recently when he delivered a heart-wrenching plea to politicians of all stripes during his opening monolog. He urged politicians to work together on health-care reform. Kimmel’s own son was born with heart problems so the matter touches close to home for Kimmel. He also took the time to respond to Trump’s tweet by saying, “what makes me saddest is that I know I’ll never write anything funnier than covfefe”. We’ve got faith in you Jimmy!!

#8 Marina Diamandis This beautiful and talented Welsh singer hit the pop charts in 2010 with the song “Hollywood” from her debut album The Family Jewels. She has since kept in the public eye with follow-up albums Electra Heart and Froot which have also landed in the top-ten and yielded hit singles. Diamandis is considered somewhat of an icon in the gay community. She headlined at NYC Pride following the tragic Pulse nightclub shooting. Is there is a possibility that Marina is a left-leaning member of the secret Trump inner circle? One helpful clue comes from her Twitter response to Trump’s mystery tweet. “How is Covfefe pronounced though?” the songstress asks. What? While the pronunciation is certainly an issue, the larger issue lies with the word’s definition. Maybe she’s in cahoots with Zach Braff?

#9 Matt Shively Matt Shively has played in several minor movie roles as well as a couple bigger parts such as playing one of the leads in Paranormal Activity 4. The 26-year-old has also had a recurring role in the television show Jessie and Resident Advisors. Shively’s response to Trump’s tweet was very well-timed and actually gets a shot in at another recent newsmaker. Kathy Griffin was recently fired from CNN for posting a video in which she was holding a bloody fake severed head that looked an awful lot like Donald Trump’s head. Matt took to Twitter after Trump’s tweet and asked, “Has no one thought that maybe Kathy Griffin ACTUALLY cut off Donald Trump’s head mid-tweet?” Excellent question Matt. Donald’s neck is about big enough to reach all those letters on the keyboard.

#10 Ariel Winter This pretty 19-year-old rising star has been doing movies and television since she was about 7 years old. She was showing her budding talent in commercials by the age of four and she has done a lot of character voices too. She claims to have had a physically and mentally abusive upbringing and she was officially emancipated in 2015. In an age that sees many actresses enhance their image by getting breast enlargements, Ariel went the other way and had hers surgically reduced 2 years ago. One way in which she seems to have gone with the mainstream is on her Twitter page. She got her dig at Donald Trump in by responding to his tweet with a simple, yet well-thought-out “Make America #covfefe again” referring to one of Trump’s famous campaign slogans. Zing!

#11 Jerry O’Connell He’s only 43 but Jerry O’Connell has been a fixture on the big screen and in television for 30 years. He got his start at the age of 12 as Vern Tessio in Stephen King’s Stand by Me. He has gone on to act in countless television roles as well as popular movies like Jerry Maguire, Scream 2, and a few Justice League films. He is married to the beautiful Rebecca Romijn and has two children. In between his acting gigs, Jerry likes to find the time to stay active on Twitter. Needless to say, the Trump tweet got Jerry’s attention and he showed off his funny side with a few responses. He begins with “Just dropped kids off at school and greeted every parent with ‘covfefe”. He then tweeted “Don’t even care if everyone knows… Just changed all my passwords to #covfefe”.

#12 Lisa Rinna Lisa Rinna is known for her several roles in television and film. She got her first big role as Jason Bateman’s girlfriend in the television series The Hogan Family before landing a gig on Days of Our Lives. She’s posed for Playboy and recently became one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She’s been seen almost everywhere including the plastic surgeon’s office. She also manages to maintain a presence on Twitter. Judging by her page, Lisa likes to share her life on a daily basis so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that she got her two cents in with respect to the whole covfefe kerfuffle. In her hilarious meme, Lisa is seated at a table engaged in a conversation over a glass of wine when she asks her friend, “Were people doing covfefe in your bathroom?” This gives us a whole new meaning to the word.

#13 Christie Brinkley Many of us know her as the gorgeous blonde in the red Ferrari that teased Clark Griswold in the 1983 film National Lampoon’s Vacation. Of course, she was already a star by then through her very successful modelling career which saw her grace over 500 magazine covers like Cosmopolitan, Glamour, and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Brinkley is a huge supporter of the Democratic Party and has donated a boatload of cash. She is also quite concerned about global warming as we can see by checking out her Twitter page. She chose to get a little more serious than others on this list when she responded to the Trump tweet with “Covfefe: French word for the overheated convection oven effect on Earth (that)Trump is creating by pulling out of the Paris Climate agreement”. This is definitely one of the 15 most savage celebrity responses to Trump’s #Covfefe.

#14 Diana Falzone Diana Falzone is a charming and stunning brunette reporter for FoxNews. At least she was with FoxNews. As of May 2017, she was suspended from duty and told to find another job after she filed a lawsuit against the company for gender and disability discrimination. Ouch. Her lawyers claim that the brass at Fox considered her less sexually appealing and less desirable after she wrote an article on the Fox News website that stated she was infertile due to a medical condition. One of the Fox News Co-Presidents, who was named in the suit, resigned in the wake of the filing. She seems to have kept a sense of humor throughout this stressful period as she took to Twitter to post “The best part of waking up is covfefe in your cup. I apologize in advance.” No need to apologize Diana.

#15 Violette Shumberg We’re not exactly sure if Twitter user Violette Shumberg is a Hollywood celebrity but she is a bit of a celebrity on Twitter now. Violet Shumberg was simply an Agnes Moorehead character from the 1942 movie The Big Street. The Twitter page shows that it is operated by @lisaloopners. Lisa Loopner was a character played by Gilda Radner back when Saturday Night Live was funny. Her response to Donald Trump’s tweet makes reference to an old Hollywood film. In the Bette Davis movie Now, Voyager, Davis’ character says the line “Oh, Jerry, don’t let’s ask for the moon! We have the stars.” Shumberg has cleverly attached a photo that depicts that scene with the caption “Oh, Jerry, don’t let’s ask for the moon. We have Covfefe.” Who is Violette Shumberg?
