As 2015 comes to a close, we look back at several of the biggest entertainment stories from the past 12 months. Our top stories of the year are the ones you, our readers, felt compelled to engage with the most.

1. Who doesn't remember when former beauty queen Malaika Mushandu Miss Zimbabwe 2011's Nude Pictures Leaked.There was heated debate over the issue, with some arguing that there is nothing wrong with people taking nude photos or videos of themselves in private. However, others argued that it was inappropriate because it ended up in the public domain.

2. Who could have seen it coming when Big Brother Mzansi landed itself in a sticky situation with the Big Brother Mzansi Rape Claim Shock. One of the housemates, Siyanda 'Adams' Ngwenya, boasted about having sex with Bexx, telling male housemates: "I dipped her but don't think she remembers because she passed out." A shocked Bexx later told housemates that she didn't consent to have sex with Adams. Adams was axed from the show, while Bexx left voluntarily.

3. Top South African comedian Trevor Noah went on The Daily Show to discuss how  How Boko Haram is Being Ignored in America. The comedian told Jon Stewart: "Sometimes it just feels like Africa is the Vegas of Islamic terror - what happens in Africa, stays in Africa." Watch the satirical clip.
