Last week, Mario Lopez caught media attention when sources claimed that he had split from his gal-pal, Dancing With the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff and Smirnoff was dating E! Entertainment personality Michael Yo.
Apparantly, Mario isn't happy with the rumors and he's blaming it all on Britney!
"See what happens when Britney starts behaving?" he joked to the NY Daily News. "People start making up all kinds of things."
Smirnoff told People.com, "We're going strong. As much as I love and appreciate the attention, it isn't true." Smirnoff and Lopez met on the set of "Dancing With the Stars" during the show's third season.
