A lot of people say about 'Gossip Girl,' 'Well, how do you feel about gossip?' Well, who really likes gossip? No one likes to be talked about if it's not flattering or a compliment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.
Gossip is when you hear something you like about someone you don't.
Gossip is when you have a malice of intent or mindless, third-party conversation to someone about someone, something you haven't said to that someone.
Gossip is conversation about people.
Gossip is called gossip because it's not always the truth.
Gossip is what you say about the objects of flattery when they aren't present.
Gossip is essentially storytelling: storytelling about people whom we know.
I certainly didn't say while writing 'Gossip Girl,' 'Oh this is going to be big!' It was really like, 'Oh god, everyone's gong to hate these people! They're so bratty!' But I actually think what is so appealing about them is the humor in them.
I have no sense of what I should or shouldn't talk about. I just blather. Which is why it's fun to write 'Gossip Girl.' I do tend to just talk about anything.
Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.
