Buzz Break: Adventures in Benchpressing

· Elisabeth Shue is racing New Moon's Taylor Lautner for the coveted, vaguely unsettling prize of "Most Whoa-Inducing Biceps."

· First it happened to Liam Hemsworth, and now Brittany Murphy has been rewritten out of The Expendables. It seems the casting director is taking the title rather literally.

· Here's a novel conclusion from HuffPo's Scott Mendelson: "Sad to say, but the death of [John] Travolta's son is nothing but good news for the financial success of his latest picture." Thanks, asshole!

· Jay Leno's farewell from The Tonight Show delivered the program its highest ratings...since March. Kinda ouch? But hey, it was the highest-rated Friday edition ever! So that's something.

· Sandra Bullock on romantic comedies: "They are terrible, they are bad. They are not funny...and most of the time they are not romantic. So they shouldn't be called a romantic comedy." Damn, Sandy -- we were really hoping to attach you to The Socialite And The Guy With The Real Job.
