I can't really address this, as I have no female friends, but the guys I hang out with talk a lot, but it tends to be about computer games, comic books, electronics, sci-fi, whether Linda Park or Grace Park is hotter (answer: Grace), etc. In other words, they tend to talk about things and events, rather than people they know and personal interaction. I don't think any of us care diddly squat about wether Russel Crowe is a nice guy, because we don't have to interact with him personally, just whether he's right for the roles he plays, because we do interact with his performances. Since I come here for that kind of stuff, discussion of how people interact with others, I'm with them.
However I feel I cannot leave the thread without sharing this:
Now, we're not ones to go 'round spreadin' rumors,
Why, really we're just not the gossipy kind,
No, you'll never hear one of us repeating gossip,
So you'd better be sure and listen close the first time.
I knew that word for word from memory. I'm so ashamed.
