Gossip Girls

The CW show, Gossip Girl, has found an audience. Some new research says gossip is good for your health.

Gossiping or having an emotional connection to people release the hormone progesterone. Progesterone reduces stress levels and ultimately can help you live longer.

This is not the only way to live a long life. Helping people seems to have the same effect on your health.

But why do we enjoy gossiping? And it's not just women, I know lots of gay and straight men who are gossip mongers.
