Summary: Movie studios, television networks and record labels still haven't updated their business models to account for video and music streaming services like Netflix and Spotify. Now companies such as Amazon, Google and Apple plan on introducing a whole new group of media subscription services. With premium video-on-demand on the horizon it's no surprise the entertainment industry is concerned about all these disruptive distribution methods. One of the biggest players in the current content licensing wars has been Netflix. Showtime and Starz began pulling shows from the video rental giant, while Fox and Paramount offered up popular series and hit movies. Cable operators have also entered the fray by allowing viewers to watch live television on mobile device apps. The creator of "Mad Men" was embroiled in his own fight with AMC and Lionsgate over the future of the series. In the end, Matthew Weiner was able to reach an agreement on a new contract, though new episodes won't air until 2012. We cover the top showbiz headlines from the past two weeks including Brook Shields on Broadway, John Mellencamp's collaboration with Stephen King, Betty White's new reality series and highlights from CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
