Obviously I am always telling people that gossip can actually be a good thing, and I always tell the haters that really, really smart people are in agreement. I’m talking major doctors, leading professors - all kinds of people who are smarter than a lot of other people. Yeah - smart people think gossip is good.
There’s a ton of articles with these people saying that gossip is a good thing - but somehow - that news gets kind of buried.
My guess - from personal experience - is that haters like to preted there is no other side to the gossip coin. They want to say how bad it is - they want to tell us not to do it. Sorry, but I’m more inclined top take a really educated, well known doctor for their word instead of some small minded, not open to new ideas, wants to make claims they have no way to back up person.
Here’s a new - frickin’ awesome - article about, once again, let’s say it all together, gossip is a good thing! Scientific American is no joke people! Check out some really smart opinions about gossip.
Come on now haters - take your hands off your ears, open your eyes, and get on the gossip train baby because you’re missing out on some yummy, tasty, healthy gossip! Ha!

Have you noticed that sometimes you write gossip but it doesn’t end up on the GString? You go looking for something you wrote or something you know someone else wrote and it isn’t there?
You have to hit PUBLISH after you review the gossip you wrote or it won’t go live - that could be the reason there is gossip missing! Not only is your gossip not being seen and heard - but you could be missing out on GR.com upgrades that are earned by doing stuff on the site.
You can tag gossip, rate gossip, G Rate, chatter, write or do anything else on the site to earn upgrades! Along those same lines - people who write gossip that ends up on the G Spot or on the Home Page earn extra!
Ever think to yourself, “Self, that gossip right there on the G Spot just plain sucks.” Well it’s all up to you my friend!
If you’re not tagging gossip - you’re not voting! And your votes are what make the Home Page! Have some juice? How about some good news? You need to get your friends and the rest of the GR.com community to back you up and vote your booty all the way to the home page! And hey now - you know you wanna hit the G Spot….. nuff said.

Hi hi hi!
I missed you sooo much!! Our blog has been dead for WAY too long and we FINALLY got it all figured out and brought it back to life! So now I’m back and better than ever:) And I have so much to tell about since I’ve been MIA!
You all know I HEART talking - I can’t shut up! And lucky me, quite a few people have been giving me the chance to hear my own voice on air! I was on in Colorado Springs - KKMG 2 weeks ago and I talked w/ T.Bubba - a very funny dood - down in Pensacola on 1620AM. I talked with WATD in MA for the second time, and I’m gonna be on Atlanta’s funniest morning show on WKLS sometime this week! So if you’re in the ATL area make sure you tune in to 96.1 all week and try to catch the interview. It was crazy to say the least.
Okay I gotta run but I’ll be back. Hopefully the blog is good to go forever now!
XOXO - Elizabeth
So yesterday, GossipReport got a pretty decent write up by a nationally reknowned columnist who writes for the Washington Post. The Post is huge, and the column ran in different cities around the country. It’s a pretty big deal in my opinion.
So the writer, Gene, doesn’t have a whole lot of nice things to say, but when has that ever been a surprise? Like I always say, people like to PRETEND they don’t gossip, don’t love it, and they don’t want to see any other point of view. I didn’t really get a chance to explain things to Gene, he made up his own mind which is cool - although I disagree! At least he gave some of you a shout-out by publishing the gossip you wrote!
Since you get the value of good gossip - and by good I mean real and relevant - not nasty name-calling that doesn’t serve much as a communication tool - I think we should let Gene know that there are people out there who get that Lies and Lying for the sake being mean and nasty is not what GossipReport is about. Gene had his friends write some really crazy stuff about him and he calls that lying….. I just thought it was funny! And who cares if people use GossipReport to have fun - it’s supposed to be fun! I want you to have fun! Gene is doing us all a favor by showing people that gossip can be a fun time:)
So check it out, let me know what you think, and let Gene know what you think too!
Until next time,
Elizabeth
So I still haven’t heard anything about my rant. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing… But thanks for all the support! You guys were totally there for me and I appreciate it.
I did some pretty cool interviews this week! I’ll let you know who/where/what/when as soon as the articles get printed. Hopefully it’ll all be pretty soon! So many times I’ve talked to people and they tell me, “Yes, we will definitely be doing an interview with you tomorrow…” and then they cancel the next day. That’s mostly TV though and these interviews were for newspapers so I feel pretty hopeful.
Speaking of which - did you check out some of the interviews on the press page? What do ya think? I’ll try and let you know before I’m on air and then you can call in and we’ll pull a “Gossipers Unite!”
I can’t stop thinking about the weekend. It’s about 90 right now and all I wanna do is be on the beach! Time to go off and daydream……
I’m sure you can all relate to me right about now. I get to pretty much be my own boss since I am one of the creators and all that – there’s only one problem – I don’t have any money! Which means GossipReport gets to keep going by the generosity and funding from others; which is cool but it also means I have to do what they say – usually if I like it or not. Soooo frustrating.
I think it’s so important for me to have a relationship with you. I need to know your thoughts and your feelings about GossipReport and the only way for me to do that is to blog to you and then hear your comments.
Apparently – some people don’t agree. Not to name names, but someone out there thinks that my time could be better spent on trying to get people to talk to me in places other than this blog. But you know what – I’m saying DOWN with the Man! I’m gonna blog as much as I damn well please. I think it’s that important. And I like it. So there.
Imagine this: Every day you have to try to make people understand that gossip is good – which you know - but a lot of people out there are haters and don’t want to hear it. So I totally rely on you to keep me going because I know you’re not a small-minded meany-face (I just censored myself…) who want to pretend like they don’t gossip – YEAH RIGHT!
Do you agree? I’m sure I’ll be hearing about this little rant but I don’t really care right now. I’ll keep you posted on if I get in trouble:)
So Memorial Day was a few days ago - I know I said I would post about it and I know I’m late – but you really can’t blame me. Today is the first day my brain is functioning after Monday. A little insight: Fireworks + hard liquor + GossipReport employees = trouble. You already knew that? Well I guess I did too – but the tequila makes me have selective memory.
I’m not really a liquor drinker but the weather was awesome, the margaritas were flowin, and after a few of those it’s all down hill. So shots – not sure how many – ensue and I remember (oops) that I have some mortars and other colorful explosive devices left over from my b-day. I volunteer this to the manly men hanging out and in all of about ummmm 7.6 minutes there was a full on roman candle war.
Can’t picture this? Think of about 5 20-something drunk guys shooting flaming balls at each other at a close range. Genius. The best response from anyone was “Look out!” and “Get him!”
Along with some grilling and some pretty cool fireworks (only one blew up at us – I think that’s pretty good odds for the mental capacities of those shooting them off) some full out – 80’s themed karaoke followed with required dancing. P.S. - be glad my sound clips on the press page are me speaking instead of singing. If you had to listen to my musical attempts – you would probably go deaf. Or wish you were. It’s that bad:)
Hello Hello Hello Everybody!
So I know a ton of you have commented on this blog and I am so so so so so sorry because I just realized that the comments have been hidden all this time! Such a bummer and a ton of you have really interesting stuff to say so thanks! And I really do apologize that it’s been a really long time that nothing has shown up!
I have fixed the problem and now there are hundreds of comments from over the months that you all have written. Things should be good to go now! As always - if you notice something acting up on GossipReport, give me a shout at tech@gossipreport.com so I can get to it ASAP.
So thanks again for all your comments on our blog posts! Keep it up - I love to hear from you. Talk to you soon:)

Hey there my lovelies!
We recently added a bunch of clips, soundbites and articles from interviews I’ve done. Since I talk to people all over the country, I know not everyone can tune in live. Don’t be sad! Keep up with the media shenanigans on our press page. Or you can just hear my bea-utifullll voice anytime you miss me!
It’s always pretty fun when I get to do interviews. We’re just tryin to get people to realize that gossip CAN be fun. Obviously you guys know it - you’re always at it! But some people don’t want to hear it - so I tell them anyway!
So check it before you wreck it! Let me know what you think too. I love hearing from you!
Later!

I went to check our stats today and noticed we had thousands of hits from South Africa! So I did a little Google work and found out that Dr. Phil’s show with me on it showed in South Africa today and they were checking us out. So just think that stuff you wrote is being read by users all over the world. You are international stars. I hope they post some good South African Gossip on the site. That would be cool. I bet it’s just like ours. People are the same everywhere. If you find a user on the site from a different country, send them a message to welcome them to the site. We want the dish from all four corners of the planet on GossipReport.com.
Till next time- If you got it, give it.
