Summary: Last week's news that Steve Jobs was stepping down as the CEO of Apple caused headline writers all over the world to work overtime. Sure Jobs became a household name by helping revolutionize personal computing, but he also helped shape the modern entertainment industry with products such as iTunes, the iPod and the iPad. And we shouldn't forget his role in founding a little animation company called Pixar. We discuss what Jobs departure from Apple means to Hollywood and why some entertainment execs may be secretly relieved to see him exit the stage. On the other hand, news that filmmaker Ridley Scott was working on a sequel to his sci-fi masterpiece "Blade Runner" didn't seem to please anyone. Some showbiz pundits went so far as to call the idea "catastrophically bad". We'll explain why. Over in the world of television, one of the husbands on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" committed suicide causing Bravo to re-edit episodes for the upcoming season. Will the death of Russell Armstrong cause networks to rethink how they handle reality television? Of course, we also cover the week's top entertainment news, including what Katy Perry and Michael Jackson have in common, why China sees Lady Gaga as a cultural threat and some of the oddball requests that can be found in the performance contracts of some musicians.
