Bathroom shower ceiling sheetrock advice

I know to use the purple board (moisture/mildew resistant) in the non-shower bathroom wall areas. I know to use cement board in the tiled areas of the shower. Shower is two tiled walls in the corner and two glass walls. no tub. So this just leaves the non-tiled shower ceiling to figure out. I know cement board doesn't paint well. So is purple board with the appropriate paint enough for a shower ceiling? thanks!

We have an elongated toilet that’s clogged. I have a “fancy plunger” forgot what it’s called, but it’s useless because the draining hole at the bottom of the toilet is also elongated. The plunger doesn’t seal the hole. So instead of pressure into the toilet I get water splashing.

Can anyone recommend a plunger that works for elongated toilets?

(And yes I know, just read about the dish soap. I’ll try that tomorrow.)
