What gossipy people love to stir up

I believe the answer is:

drama

(Other definitions for drama that I've seen before include "Stage play, may be exciting" , "Play - crisis" , "Theatrical production" , "Literary genre for the theatre" , "Theatrical performance" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
