A Definitive Ranking Of 18 "Shameless" Characters
Hollywood Reporter

If you’ve seen "Shameless" and you don’t like it, there may be something wrong with you. It’s one of the best shows on Netflix and you just can’t help but love the down in the dumps clan. Here’s my list of favorite characters, worst to first.

18. Karen

Is it wrong to be happy by her getting hit by a car? I’m not really sure and I don’t really care. I guess you could say I’m (wait for it) shameless. I know I know, but come on, she’s awful.

17. Sammi

She’s a parasite. Like does she not get the hint that literally no one likes her? Plus she got Carl thrown in Juvie and drew a swastika on her son’s forehead. Problems.

16. Monica

She abandoned her kids with a deadbeat dad and will do anything to help herself. She stole Liam, doesn’t take her meds, steals money from her kids and then there’s that stupid smile.

15. Chuckie

Let’s be honest, we all feel a little bad for Chuckie but the kid has zero redeeming qualities. We can’t forget about that swastika either.

14. Fiona

Ugh. Welcome to the pity party. She ruins everything and cheats on every guy she’s with. She’s a terrible “mom.” Her sister’s pregnant at 13 and her 14-year-old brother is a drug lord that sells guns. A+ parenting.

13. Steve

Steve? Jack? Jimmy? 12/10 annoying AF.

12. Frank

I low-key love Frank sometimes and his pitiful matter of fact personality is hilarious. But he’s a terrible father and a drunk. He called child services on his own kids and I’ve hated him ever since.

11. Deb

What are you like 12? You are a child. She also raped a guy so there’s that.

10. Ian

Ian’s just a little weird and he never really does much. He’s only relevant because of Mickey.

9. Liam


I know shame on me for having Liam this low on the list. He’s cute but he doesn’t do anything, sorry buddy.

8. Mandy

She gets treated like trash. You deserve better Mandy.

7. Mickey

He’s an asshole but we can all see through that. He’ll do anything for Ian but he’ll curb stomp anyone he doesn’t like.

6. V

Talk back get smacked. V is a badass, smart as hell and will do anything for her friends and family.

5. Carl

Carl does whatever he wants. He’s got a slick tongue and answers to no one. He also paid for the house. Mad respect young thug.

4. Sheila

Bless Sheila’s heart. She is so pure I love her. She puts up with everything and does it with a smile on her face.

3. Svetlana

This woman is literally the glue that holds everything together. There’s nothing she can’t do and she is funny as hell. Everyone would be lost without her.

2. Lip

Lip is hella smart. He takes whatever life has to throw at him. He says and does what he wants and will do anything to take care of his family. Plus he gets all the ladies, props to that my dude.

1. Kev

Oh, Kev. He’s number one on my list because he is an absolute angel. He does everything for everybody and works nonstop to keep the bar going. He loves his kids and V. He’s just a big goofball that deserves the world.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
