Gossip Cop is a website founded by Michael Lewittes, a "reformed gossip columnist". Other staff include Shari Weiss, Andrew Shuster, Holly Nicol and Dan Abrams. The site reports on the veracity of celebrity gossip, reportedly from over 200 websites, TV shows and publications.

Gossip Cop covers the same material as celebrity gossip tabloids: romances, marriages, divorces, "baby bumps", and petty arguments. Occasionally, the material veers into politics (e.g., "Martin Luther King Day Lie Witness News Edition: Jimmy Kimmel Asks About MLK Endorsing Donald Trump" and "George Clooney: Donald Trump Is A 'Fascist'") and pseudoscience coverage (e.g., "Kylie Jenner Posts Anti-Vaccination Photo", "Charlie Sheen To Dr. Oz: I Stopped Taking My HIV Medications" and "Jim Carrey Goes On Anti-Vaccination Twitter Rant, Calls California Governor 'Fascist'").
