What's not true?

Just like me you must be a huge gossip. If you weren’t then you would never have clicked on this page 
I wasn’t really sure what to do with a blog if I’m honest. As a journalist I’m surrounded by others blogging away their views on the week’s top stories. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to say.
After writing news stories all day the last thing I wanted to do is carry on gabbing on about them after they had gone to press, until I realised there is one aspect of current affairs I never stop talking about (the emphasis being on 'affairs').
And as I still haven’t been given a gossip column in the paper and my colleagues are sick of me coming into work every day and saying “Oh my god have you heard…..” I thought this was the perfect outlet.
The title of the blog says it all really, a lot of what you read on here may not be true - but it is true that I have heard it!
That’s the thing with gossip, you never care if it is not true or not do you? just as long as it is a good story (I hope John Terry's wife never finds this blog!) so from now on I’ll keep my ears open for the juiciest news not just from the papers, but from real lives too, because lets be honest who doesn’t love a story that starts “Do you know my friend Susan? Well you won’t believe this but, her next door neighbour’s cousin’s boyfriend……..”.
