Lindsay Lohan and Harry Morton Broke Up Because of Me

Okay, maybe not because of me directly, but because of what I represent. Namely, someone with waaaay too much free time, and nothing else to do but gossip about what the hell Lindsay Lohan is up to on a daily basis. You know, the entire media.

Lindsay's Ex (or more like temporarily Ex) Boyfriend, Harry Morton told Extra TV that the couple are "taking a breather," in part due to media speculation they were getting engaged, as well as the constant attention of the Paparazzi, reports People.

"We're just sort of taking a little breather right now and slowing things down," the restaurateur, 25, tells TV's Extra in an interview set to air Thursday night. "A lot of people started saying we're engaged. It put a lot of pressure on things... We need a little space."

Morton also said he'd had a hard time dealing with being in such a high-profile relationship. "The media getting involved always makes it more difficult," he tells Extra. "I'm a very private person. I'm sure she has dealt with it for years, (but it) puts a lot of pressure on me."

Nevertheless, Morton says of Lohan, "I have nothing but the utmost respect for her."

Blah blah blah. The media ruined my life. Boo Hoo. Rule number one: If you're not comfortable being hounded by the press, maybe dating Lindsay Lohan isn't the best idea. And it doesn't really take three months to figure that out. Then again, when you're having sex with Linsday Lohan on a daily basis, I guess you might not be thinking straight.

Whatever. I still have no sympathy.
