After being honoured with the Cecil B. De Mille Award at last night's Golden Globe Awards, Meryl Streep gave a speech which has sent social media into meltdown.

Without naming any names, the iconic actress gave a scathing assessment of the American President elect Donald Trump in a move which has divided Twitter users today.

While the vast majority praised Meryl for using her moment to offer her opinion on the 45th president, others called Meryl out on supposed hypocrisy.

"There was one performance this year that stunned me," Meryl told the audience. "It sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was good.  There was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job.”

"It made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter."

"Someone he outranked in privilege, power and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life."

And, unsurprisingly, Twitter wasted no time sharing their thoughts on Meryl's words.

Oh Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, what were you thinking?

So, one guy who was clearly in need of a little attention in recent days decided to post a snap of an elderly lady who supposedly came upon his open Twitter account and decided to share a selfie with all his followers.

So far, so this millennium, right?

Except it never happened.

Unfortunately for Mikey, who purportedly fell victim to an elderly prankster named Jane, Twitter wasted no time calling BS on the entire post. 

Responding to the post, one Twitter user wrote: "Hello Michael, The next time you fake a tweet, be better about which pic you rip from Google. Have a nice day and Happy New Year. Madison."

Failing to realise that Twitter is a community of online detectives, Mikey only went and took a snap from Pinterest uploaded by a lady called Barbara Olsen who wrote: "I decided I should put a new picture of myself up on my art board."

"I took a selfie "first one with my IPad / mini, not bad for an old lady…2015, I love my horned rim glasses. The painting behind is also a fav. I will try to get a pic of it."

And if that wasn't enough, Mikey also forgot to disable his geotag setting, and inadvertently revealed he was in Sale not Manchester… where the Central Library is, in fact, located.

Twitter, unsurprisingly, is refusing to let poor ol' Mikey away with this one, and have had a field day roasting him online.

"Your life would be much easier if you took down this fake tweet instead of blocking everyone that points it out," wrote another Twitter user.

Ouch!

If you're already wondering where it all went wrong, you're not alone.

After the hellish year we've just had, it's no surprise that most of us went into 2017 with a surge of optimism and a resolve to make the most of the next 12 months.

However, it's now day 4, and we're still eating Selection Boxes for breakfast, and have yet to find our way back to the gym.

Thankfully, however, Twitter is on hand to remind us that when it comes to January goals, no one is winning.

1. Yep, been there.

2. She's right, you know.

3. It's going to roll that way for at least a month, in fairness.

4. It's been a tough few days.

 5. Can't fight City Hall.

6. It might be.

Some fans said his decision to speak publicly about the moment he found George Michael dead was, so soon after his passing, in bad taste. 

And today, Fadi Fawez courted yet more controversy – stating in an incredible series of tweets that the 53-year-old pop superstar was suicidal and had made attempts to take his own life before. 

The tweets have now been deleted and the account shut.

However, the London-based hairdresser, who had been in a relationship with George since 2012, is adamant that he is the victim of a hacker.

Fadi told Mirror Online: "I am shocked with what's going on with the Twitter thing. My Twitter account has been hacked and closed."

He added: "It's a bit scary to be honest. I did not send those tweets. I woke up at 11.30am to the news. I am not going to worry about these things."
 

The shocking tweets had earlier read: "The only thing George wanted is to die.

"He tried numbers of times to kill himself many times… and finally he managed.

"We loved each other very much and were together almost 24 hours a day.

Less than 24 hours after George Michael's Christmas Day passing, Mr Fawez tweeted that he had found him dead in his bed.

The cause of his death has been cited by police as heart failure, although further toxicology testing is now being carried out.

In a move which had Twitter users falling all over themselves this week, president-elect, Donald Trump, only went and thanked himself for what he considers a job well done.

Referring to a recent statistic, the billionaire business tycoon wrote: "The U.S. Consumer Confidence Index for December surged nearly four points to 113.7, THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN 15 YEARS! Thanks Donald!"

That's right – he actually wrote 'Thanks Donald'.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter have wasted no time ripping it out of Trump, and frankly they're doing an amazing job.

We'll let them take it from here…

Rory Cowan, who entertains millions with his role in Mrs Brown's Boys, has opened up about the barrage of homophobic abuse he has received on Twitter.

Speaking on Today with Katie Hannon on RTÉ Radio One, the popular actor revealed that he had been compared to prolific ex offender Jimmy Savile by online trolls.

Opening up about the extent of the online abuse, Rory admitted that the level of abuse he received left him shaken.

"This was so vicious and so quick, it was like a kick in the stomach," he told the show's host.

"I was actually sick to my stomach, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and all because of one response I gave to a tweet."

Elaborating on the nature of the anonymous tweets he received, Rory said: "One person said ‘I saw you at the hospital with the kids, shades of Jimmy Savile off you."

"If I had a child in hospital I would take them out if it they were going to be presented with people like you," the anonymous user added.

The actor confirmed that he has sought legal advice from his solicitor who, with the help of the Gardaí, is trying to establish whether the posts originated in Ireland or overseas.

As tributes pour in for Carrie Fisher following her untimely demise this week, cake company, Cinnabon, have been forced to apologise after posting a tasteless reference to the star.

In the wake of her death, the company were accused of commercialising death after creating an image of the iconic actress with the help of cinnamon and cinnamon rolls.

Alongside the image, the Twitter post contained a questionable reference which read: "RIP Carrie Fisher, you'll always have the best buns in the galaxy."

And, unsurprisingly, Twitter users were far from impressed with the company's decision to use the star's death to advertise their products.

"Never, never use a death to promote your brand. Poor taste," wrote one member of the public while another added: "Tacky. Get over yourself and stop capitalizing on the tragic loss of an icon."

Responding to the criticism, the company deleted the post before issuing an apology, writing: "Our deleted tweet was genuinely meant as a tribute, but we shouldn't have posted it. We are truly sorry."

Carrie Fisher's mother Debbie Reynolds passed away just days after her daughter's death this week.

Way back in November 2015, Eric Schmidt shared a story involving his family which sounded so damn ridiculous, people struggled to believe it had actually happened.

And if you don't know what that story is about, fear not because it has in recent days the tale of Kitty and the Schmidt family has begun doing the rounds again online, and frankly we could listen to it over and over.

Sharing a screenshot of series of texts which were exchanged between Eric, his parents and his sister, we quickly learned that their pet cat, Kitty, had gone missing, and was tragically found dead soon after.

Or was she?

Well, according to Eric's parents, it turned out she was most definitely not dead – something they only realised after they buried what they believed was their beloved pet only to find her sitting in their home upon their return.

In a post which has racked up 31,000 likes over the past 12 months, it was revealed that instead of burying Kitty, Eric's parents actually buried something else – a rabbit.

And like any upstanding millennial, Eric did what we all do best – he shared it online, and made minor celebrities of his parents… and Kitty.

Take a bow, lads.

In a heartfelt and lengthy post on Twitter today, Ariana Grande has urged her fanbase to consider the implications of remarks they make towards women after she endured an upsetting encounter with a male fan.

Explaining that she and her boyfriend, Mac Miller, had bumped into a fan while picking up some food, Ariana went on to reveal that the exchange turned sour when the fan made degrading comments about the popular singer.

"He was loud and excited and by the time M was seated in the driver's seat, he was literally almost in the car with us," Ariana recalled.

"I thought all of this was cute and exciting until he said 'Ariana is sexy as hell man. I see you, I see you hitting that!!!'"

"Hitting that? The f**k??" Ariana continued in the post which has racked up 130,000 likes.

"This may not seem like a big deal to some of you but I felt sick and objectified. I was also sitting right there when he said it."

"It hurts my heart that so many young people are so comfortable using these phrases and objectifyin women with such ease," she wrote.

"I am not a piece of meat that a man gets to utilize for his pleasure. I'm an adult human being in a relationship with a man who treats me with love and respect."

Urging women to speak out against such behaviour, Ariana continued: "We need to talk about these moments openly because they are harmful and they live on inside of us as shame."

"We need to share and be vocal when something makes up feel uncomfortable because if we don't, it will just continue. We are not objects or prizes. We are QUEENS."

Ariana's post has been inundated with support since its upload eight hours ago, with one fan writing: "I actually respect the hell out of you for using your platform to speak up."

"I don't know if anyone has told you recently but you're amazing, loved and very appreciated," added another.

The singer's post has been re-tweeted more than 60,000 times.

Remember when Kim Kardashian cropped North out of a picture, and the internet totally lost its chill?

Well, we wouldn't be surprised if the woman fuelling the outraged backlash was Noreen, the mother of 18-year-old Abeera Tariq.

If Abeera's recent tweet is anything to go by, Noreen does not take kindly to being cropped out of photos, and she doesn't care if the entire internet knows it.

Setting the scene for everyone, Abeera told BuzzFeed that during a family wedding she hadn't gotten a snap of herself with her brothers, so she thought nothing of cropping her mum out of one photo so only the three siblings remained.

Bad move.

Taking to Twitter, Abeera shared a screenshot of a series of tests Noreen sent after realising she hadn't made the final edit, with one reading: "Why you crop me out, stupid idiot."

"Ungrateful kids…I gave birth to you with such difficulty and you repay me by cropping me out." Noreen added.

The post, which has clocked up a staggering 18,000 likes since its upload, has been inundated with comments, with one writing: "Hahaha this is the funniest and most adorable thing I came across."

You tell her, Noreen.

We know he's been around for centuries, but it seems like some people still get Santy's name wrong.

He only comes around once a year, so it's easy to see why people can confuse it, but it looks like this year, the people of Twitter are having a bit of a meltdown about it.

So, here comes the question… do you know how to spell Santa's last name?

The debate has been around for years, since Tim Allen's Santa Clause movie came out, however, deliberations are still going down on Twitter about whether the 'e' should be included.

Everyone is taking it very seriously:
