When NCIS fans learned Ziva David (played by Cote de Pablo) wasn’t returning, they went into a tailspin until they started to consider that it was enough already with her nowhere love life and hero antics.

Lil Wayne almost died from trippin’ on purple drank! Or did he? There was much confusion over the condition of the rapper, who was reportedly in a coma back in March. We now know that Weezy didn’t kick it, but his fans showed up in droves to read this article.

(Social media outtake: Did the 430 readers who Facebook-liked the “Lil Wayne near death” article like the fact that he was near death, or were they just showing support for his recovery?)

It would appear that the only thing SheKnows readers love more than New Girl is New Girl‘s Hannah Simone. Well, sha! That’s why we were crushin’ on her in the first place and why we sat down to dish with her. We didn’t stop there, though. We kicked it up a notch with some Simone trivia and several dirty little secrets.

It seems like just yesterday that the world couldn’t get enough of anything and everything that had to do with Kate Middleton and the royal baby. British betting company Ladbrokes broke up the monotony while playing up the absurdity of some of the hype with photos that parodied the soon-to-be mother with the soon-to-be great grandmother. It’s not a surprise that SheKnows readers showed up in droves to view photos of royal lookalikes painting the nursery and attending the royal baby shower.

Combine that sort of excitement with Downton Abbey‘s enthusiastic audience and you’ve got one of the most highly viewed SheKnows articles of the year!
