A gossip columnist is a writer who focuses on reporting informal or sensational stories about the lives of celebrities, public figures, or people in the entertainment industry. These columns often include rumors, personal details, and speculation, and they may cover topics such as relationships, scandals, or behind-the-scenes events.
