THE NOTEBOOK INSPIRED SIMPSON TO SPLIT FROM LACHEY

Movie romance THE NOTEBOOK gave JESSICA SIMPSON the inspiration she needed to split from NICK LACHEY - because the 2004 film helped her realise she needed to "breathe." Simpson tells America's Elle magazine she was watching the film, starring real-life lovers RACHEL MCADAMS and RYAN GOSLING, on a flight when it hit her it was time to end her marriage. She says, "I just figured out the statement. It was about that moment of desperation. I needed to breathe."
