Sometimes it's true. Sometimes it's a misunderstanding. Sometimes it's a bald-faced lie. Sometimes it is meant to help. Sometimes it is malicious and trouble-making. Gossip.

While she first hit the headlines during her stint on The X Factor in 2010, Cher Lloyd has graduated to the status of celebrity gossip column royalty this year.

Subjects who reported the greatest amount of satisfaction spent only 10 percent of their conversation on small talk, while the unhappiest subjects kept 28.3 of their talking time in the shallow end.
