Here are five things you may have missed on Twitter this week.
1. Renee Zellweger strolled onto the red carpet wearing a different face this week. Of course, Twitter had something to say about it. #ReneeZellweger

How is everyone so sure it’s Renee Zellweger? What if she was abducted and replaced with an imposter? Is anyone even looking for her? — oindrila mukherjee (@oinkness) October 22, 2014
2.Supermodel Chrissy Teigen ditched Twitter for the calmer waters of Instagram after her tweet condemning gun violence in the US resulted in death threats. #ChrissyTeigen
active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in america, wednesday

Sorry you don’t understand that is a knock at america and our issues with gun control. No one is minimizing the Ottawa shooting. — christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) October 22, 2014
I’m not apologizing. If you take it wrong, that is your fault.

I can’t see anything through the sea of hate and anger that is now my Twitter. Seriously I can’t sift through it all. — christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) October 23, 2014
I feel sick. Bye Twitter. Taking my talents to instagram.

3. Don’t send for Shonda Rhimes on Twitter unless you want her to come for you. When some viewers tweeted their disapproval of “gay scenes” in last week’s How to Get Away with Murder, Shonda took them to task. #ShondaRhimes
@Dabdelhakiem If you are suddenly discovering that Shondaland shows have scenes involving people who are gay, you are LATE TO THE PARTY. — shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) October 19, 2014
. @Dabdelhakiem If u use the phrase “gay scenes”, u are not only LATE to the party but also NOT INVITED to the party. Bye Felicia. #oneLOVE

I love all you Tweeples. Even the ones who still need to grow. And remember that at some point, someone discriminated against you too. — shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) October 19, 2014
I don’t know why this kind of hate is out there. Ugh. #onelove. At least in Shondaland. Have a great rest of your weekend!

4. This week in Ebola and people with no damned sense. #ebola
Let the Halloween shenanigans begin. This is disgusting pic.twitter.com/4jXnCzj7Fm — Gem Jones (@shugnice) October 18, 2014
5. Bloomberg tweeted something racially suspect and quickly deleted it, but not before Twitter saw it and screen-capped it!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks for this. I enjoyed it.
I was actually on Twitter in real time when Shonda posted those tweets…
The one about Zelwegger and God was really funny.
October 28, 2014
Glad you liked it!
I love that Shonda will interact with not just fans, but her detractors. You don’t get that kind of interaction from a lot of people in TV / film.

That’s pretty awesome. I don’t follow many celebs, but she is so smart and such a powerhouse. How can you be a female writer and not love her?

Great post! Loving the pourmeacoffee comment about Renee Zellweger.

Lol, yeah that one made me snicker.
Thanks, Rachael!
