THE GOSSIP PLAYBOOK

Confirm before you amplify: if it’s not in a primary report, treat it like “rumor,” not fact.
Watch the wording: “spotted together” ≠ “dating,” and “seen wearing a ring” ≠ “engaged.”
Follow the receipts: official posts, rep statements, and on-the-record interviews beat vague “sources say.”
