It doesn't matter if we want to admit to it or not, deep down we all love gossip. Whether or not we are the ones who are spilling the beans or hearing it through the grapevine, gossip helps bring drama and excitement to our lives. Gossip is the sharing of personal information without the consent of the individual. Gossip is everywhere! We even have shows on television now that only play the latest celebrity gossip. One of my favorite gossip shows to watch is E news. I don't know what it is about the show but it's very intriguing and I can't get enough of it! I guess it's probably partially because I have a pretty boring life and I need to know the latest celebrity break-ups, pregnancies, drug and alcohol relapses and a lot more. Besides television shows, gossip is all over the media including magazines, radio stations and even the Internet. This type of gossip isn't very harmful to the average person but when we start to gossip about someone we know or when someone gossips about us it starts to get a little complicated. Something that could start out as a harmful prank could get blown out of proportion and turn into a big mess. Thankfully something like this hasn't happened to me but some of my friends from high school weren't so lucky. A girl from my high school spread a rumor about her friend that she was pregnant. Within a couple of days it seemed like everyone had found out and the story was so exaggerated and far from the truth. Gossip may provide us with a little excitement knowing that we are one of the only people who knows a secret. It can keep us up to date on the latest celebrity news and provide us with some excitement to our own lives. Gossip also has its downfall but we all can't get enough of it one way or another.
