前几天我最爱的男艺人传出绯闻，我以为我失恋了。
qiánjǐtiān wǒ zuìài de nán yìrén chuánchū fěiwén ，wǒ yǐwéi wǒ shīliàn le 。
Rumors of romantic triste surrounding my favorite celebrity surfaced a few days ago, I felt like I'd fallen out of love.
我好像看到了那则新闻，是真的吗？
wǒ hǎoxiàng kàndào le nà zé xīnwén ，shì zhēn de ma ？
I think I saw that on the news, did it really happen?
后来经纪公司出来澄清，是假的，真是吓死一票粉丝。
hòulái jīngjì gōngsī chūlái chéngqīng ，shì jiǎde ，zhēn shì hèsǐ yī piào fěnsī 。
Later his agency clarified that it was false. It was a real scare for his fans.
是吗？说不定他们真的有一腿，只是经纪公司说谎，反正荧光幕前，真真假假谁知道。

Really? Maybe they really did have sex, but the agency is lying about it, as when it comes to television no one really knows what is true and what is false.
