its better not to make sides coz in the end it will only get you into trouble. dont meddle with these people. just act professionally and when they come near you for any personal details never share it coz in the end anybody may blame you as the "one who started it all"
even though you very much want to help anybody in the group, (for that i appreciate you) you cannot stop other people from thinking in a defferent way. they may think of you as the "evil" in the group.
ideally, the better thing to do is provide closure to everyone involved but human nature dictatesthat sometimes even if your concern is genuine, if the people think you're nosy, you cant change their minds.
better be quiet and still work with them in a professional way (coz that;s what you are supposed to d, in the first place)

Just try to remain quiet and do not participate in these conversations or you could even walk out of the room. You could tell them too that you do not approve of gossip and will not take part in it. If they are talking about a friend, that is time enough to intervene. Then you should make your position loud and clear.

Stay out of it. If you get caught up in it, you will end up losing your job. If other people are too stupid to refrain from gossiping at work, that's their problem, but gossip always gets back to the person and then it's argument time. Practice shrugging, smiling, changing the subject, and getting busy doing other things when someone tries to drag you into a little dissing party.

this happens everywhere - no matter where you will go work or live. my recommendation, when it starts happening.... "you know karen said...." stop them right there and say - you know karen is right over in the other office, want me to run get her and we can ask her.... or something like that - it's shut many a people up. the other recommendation - when i can't do something like that -i just look at them and give them that "look", shake my head and say, you know, this isn't my type of conversation.
now let me tell you, i'm th usly left out of a number of conversations but.... IMHO they aren't conversations they are gossip sessions. now i will talk problems with other co-workers over with trusted other co-workers - but not something that isn't widley known as a problem. but other then that - i try to keep my nose out of it all!

The best thing to do is speak with your human resources director about this. Next option is get another job.

All you can do is not participate. Just politely say you don't like to hear anything about somebody that's not present, and you don't like to talk about people that aren't present.

Perhaps post your question in etiquette where it belongs for starters.
