If the target creature's power is increased to 4 or greater after Gossip's Talent's level 2 class ability triggers but before it resolves, the ability doesn't resolve. However, if instead the creature's power is increased to 4 or greater after the ability resolves, it still can't be blocked that turn.

Gaining a level is a normal activated ability. It uses the stack and can be responded to.

If you choose to exile a creature with double strike when Gossip's Talent's level 3 class ability resolves, it won't be an attacking creature anymore when it returns to the battlefield, and it won't deal combat damage during the regular combat damage step.

Once the exiled permanent returns, it's considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. Auras attached to the exiled permanent will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled permanent will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist.

Each Class has five abilities. The three in the major sections of its text box are class abilities. Class abilities can be static, activated, or triggered abilities. The other two are level abilities, one activated ability to advance the Class to level 2 and another to advance the Class to level 3.

Gossip's Talent's level 3 class ability triggers once for each creature you control that deals combat damage to a player during that combat damage step. You choose the order those triggers are put onto the stack. They resolve one at a time; when one resolves, you choose whether or not to exile the appropriate creature.
