A hot topic. Hot topic; gossip? Gossip; depends on the motive. Motive; depends on the context.
And context is always the uncontrolled variable.
Ergo, no matter the context, the imperative is that you think about what you say before you bring it up, and be sure that your intention doesn't stem from malice, but from either curiosity, or in the pursuit of peace. Not all hot topics are gossip, but gossip typically stems from it.
