Golden Rules of Gossip

Posted at 04:17PM May 07, 2009 by Mac in Talent Advice

As everyone in Hollywood knows, information is power. But it’s not just about having information, it’s about how you use it. Sometimes you can give a little gossip to get a whole lot back. But be smart about it. Maximize your gossip opps and have some fun in the process with my four golden rules of gossip:

Stick to the facts—unless you’re talking about yourself. Then be creative.

Never discuss your inner circle with ANYONE outside the circle, unless it’s to sing their praises.

About once a month, tell a fake secret to someone you don’t trust. Since you know she’ll blab to everyone—congrats! You’ve just created your own buzz!

A little goes a long way. Drop a newsbomb, then shrug and say “That’s all I can say.” You’ll leave ‘em wanting more.

What do you think? What are your golden rules of gossip?

I dont gossip, I only gossip TO my friends not gossip ABOUT my friends. But I dod say some things about my friend (one of them) And I say it as a joke and she takes it the wrong way! It gets annoying

Stop saying mean things!!! I love the books and Mac is not real get over it! There has to be a 4th book because at the end of the last one Mac said it was only the begining. I wan't more about Becks and Austin/ girl who's name should not be said.

Posted by Kasey on May 30, 2009 at 05:24 PM EDT #

Becks, Coco, Emily and Mac are all pretty just in their own ways. Don't hate some of the characters because of what the models look like on the front and back covers of the book. If it was you whould you want people judging you like that, just remember not to judge a book by it's cover.

Posted by Kasey on May 30, 2009 at 05:30 PM EDT #

wow this site has come along way mayb it will have as many comments as the clique site will anyway kasey is right u cant jugde the characters by the models and if u think mac is mean take a look at massie(no offence i luv the clique books)and the clique models are pretty just like talent models so leave them alone!!!! =)basketball beautie

Posted by basketball beautie on May 30, 2009 at 09:02 PM EDT #

massie is a great alpha and thats great if the books were based of u i personally really don't care the clique books r ahmazing and so is the talent book-P.S. massie is only insecure about some things but sometimes u have 2 put lbrs or just some people in there place by putting them down and some of it is TRUE!!!!!!!! oh and i am NOT jealous of u my life is perfect!!!!!!!! ttly ily basketball beautie =)

Posted by basketball beautie on May 31, 2009 at 01:08 PM EDT #

Posted by basketball beautie on May 31, 2009 at 03:41 PM EDT #

1.Dont gossip about your friends. 2.Always have gossip points. 3.If you hear a gossip about one of your friends find out who started it and confront them. 4.Only tell your friends the gossip and make sure that they dont tell anyone. Love, Chasy

Posted by Chasy on July 07, 2009 at 10:05 PM EDT #

Say little but dont say alot because it will leave them wanting more so tey add fake to to it,Later on it will come back to you with more stuff to it that you didnt say. sorry spelled some stuff wrong on my other one.
