Kérnék szépen ötleteket, hogyan lehet ezt a zamatos fordulatot a legjobban visszaadni angolul. Szárnyra kaptak a pletykák, hogy a két filmszínész összeszűrte a levet. Köszönöm!

to be in cahoots with/hand in glove with someone
Valóban sokféleképpen ki lehet ezt fejezni, a magyar szókapcsolat "összeszűri a levet", arra utal, hogy az ilyen kapcsolat nem pusztán titkos, hanem tisztességtelen is.
Nem ismerem a teljes szövegkörnyezetet, de talán érdemes olyan kifejezést választani angolul, amiben benne van ez az aspektus is.
"to be in cahoots with someone"
Az alábbi példa éppen két filmszínész, Angelina Jolie és Brad Pitt kapcsolatának kezdetére utal ezzel a kifejezéssel:
http://thecelebritycafe.com/feature/are-jennifer-aniston-and...
“The source explains that it hits close to home for Aniston, as she was the victim of the same type of behavior when her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, first came into cahoots with now partner Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”
Más példa:
http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-04-24/news/29484662_1_l...
“The parties to the drama were Frank Young, 40, a rich rake and Nan Patterson, a "Florodora" chorus girl who had lived fast in her 19 years.
They met in 1902 aboard a New York train bound for California. They were in sexual cahoots by Chicago, their spouses be damned.”
Egy másik lehetőség, lehet variálni:
to be hand in glove with someone

hand in glove (with someone)
http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/glove
John is really hand in glove with Sally.

Elnézést, most látom, hogy múlt idő, többes sz. 3. személyben kellett volna írnom, tehát az első kifejezést használva:
összeszűrték a levet - they were in cahoots/ X. came into cahoots with Y.

| Köszönöm Tünde! Nagyon hasznos referenciák (úgy értem, fordítási szempontból). :) |

they had more than coffee together
Well there are a million ways to do this. Personally, I'd avoid a cliché and have some fun with it. This suggestion keeps the liquid, at least.
Note from asker:
| Thank you Jim. Since this is from a tabloid, a cliché might fit just fine. :) |
