中英双语新闻——38 Celebrity love is hot gossip

 　　So, Barbie Hsu did it again. No, we’re not talking about this 34-year-old actress’ romance with a younger man.

In this latest case, it’s her sudden engagement to Wang Xiaofei, 29, heir to catering¹ tycoon² South Beauty Group that’s set media tongues wagging.

Some are candid⁶, like Hsu, while others remain tight-lipped. Let’s take a look at how different rumor⁴-afflicted stars react and respond under the public gaze.

　　US actress Kristen Stewart was rumored⁷ to be in a relationship with fellow actor Robert Pattinson (both above sight). Stewart was quoted as saying that she intends to always keep her romantic life private: “Cock-and-bull stories. They’re absolutely not true and come from out of nowhere.

They’ll ask for specifics’.”

 

　　美国女星克里斯汀?斯图尔特与银幕情侣罗伯特?帕丁森传出绯闻时，斯图尔特表示自己的感情生活是私事，不想公之于众：“这些荒唐的消息纯属空穴来风，我从不大肆谈论恋情，因为这会让它变得很粗俗。人们说‘只要知道你的约会对象，就不会再追问其它事了。’其实：‘他们不会就此罢休，而想知道更多细节’。”

 

　　Gossip Girl co-stars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley split recently after three years together. Badgley told the Us Weekly that both parties handled the breakup “professionally”: “Some would say it’s a double-edged sword (to still work together after splitting). But in our case, we’re professionals and we manage to balance it well. We’re separated for good. But we’re still friends and hang out on the set.”
