You said exactly the right thing. Also, "whoa, I don't know anything, and I don't want to know anything" no one can criticize you for this.
Good for you - you're staying out of that nasty soup.

I just nod and say oh really wow - and just keep nodding -- I like hearing gossip even though I don't spread it or talk about it - so that way if someone asks if I was involved I can tell the truth and say "yeah I heard someone say it all I did was nod and smile"

Say, I don't participate in gossip. And look for another place to work.
