It relies upon. in the event that they're your chum then merely say "close the hell up". If not then merely say, "hey, collectively as i'm eagerly awaiting you next exciting remark, I actually have a concern that Im previous due for, talk over with you quickly." Then run like hell and don't look lower back.

hahahah i love this question! mostly because I am always wondering the same thing. In that situation you could have just smiled and said to her "You know, I dont really know very much about celebrity gossip but I do know that....(insert a topic you like here). If you just dont want to talk to her at all you could simply say "Wow I never knew that. I guess I just dont really pay attention to those magazines. :) I probably should, since I'm kind fo out of it, but thats okay. I think I'm just going to sit here quietly and read my book. You can join me if you have a book, or maybe that magazine you were talking about.

"Hey - I'm sorry, but I'm really not a Hollywood kind of guy. Not really into that kind of stuff, either." You could then politely excuse yourself on the basis of a coffee/bathroom break...or even get back to work as to eliminate yourself from her story-telling fits! Best of luck!

Never say "Shut Up" that is just rude beyond words. Say " I am not really interested in those things" and move along. Some believe they are just being friendly by making small talk and really thats all it is.

I don't think there's a polite way to tell someone to shut their pie hole, unfortunately. I would just say, "I've got an appointment,"
or, "The maintenance man is at the door," or, "See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya."

Tell her "pls stop talking, I have a very bad headache now. Every word you utter hurts like hell".

Tell them that you just went through a divorce and begin to break down into feigned tears. They will feel horrible and embarrassed, and try to remove themselves from your emotional situation.

Let her babble for a few minutes and then just look up like you've been trying to concentrate on something else and say "Hu?".

the most polite way is take them aside from the view of others tell the fool tactfully so they aren't embarrassed by a crowd .
