So what good is about gossip.
Well if you boasting of yourself, laughing at others, it is extreme good.
From one good story pass on to the other and gets distorted one person to the other. Enjoying all lies and the devil’s company.Jn8:44 It reveals secret unnecessarily, Pr 20:19
Sharing Information and gossip.
If a news is used to help other people like medical information and other incidents,they are not gossip.
Gossip on the other hand, has no truth to it, its main purpose is be laugh about the misfortune of other and boast yourself. Gossipers think there are no harm done but actually they are harming themselves more than the person they talking about.
What we need to learn is how to keep something to ourselves and to balance which is to kept secret and to let out.

UNCOMMON STORIES BEHIND COMMON WORDS
Gossip - In merry old England, a godsib was a godparent of either sex, sib being the Anglo-Saxon word for "kinsman." When godsibs were together, particularly female ones, no doubt a fair share of idle talk occurred, and the word soon lost its definition and its religious context and acquired the meaning of one with whom one chats intimately.
By Shakespeare's time one's gossips were also those close friends who attended one in childbirth (during which there was generally ample time for tittle-tattle). Not until the 19th century was idle conversation itself termed "gossip."
Gossip
O.E. godsibb "godparent," from God + sibb "relative" (see sibling). Extended in M.E. to "any familiar acquaintance" (mid-14c.), especially to woman friends invited to attend a birth, later to "anyone engaging in familiar or idle talk" (1560s). Sense extended 1811 to "trifling talk, groundless rumor." The verb meaning "to talk idly about the affairs of others" is from 1620s.
