Once upon a time, it seems Apple might've played a touch too much defense. A January 2005 antitrust filing over many, many iPods and digital rights management has started picking up steam. Informative e-mails are on the way to millions who purchased the MP3 players between 2006 and 2009, offering a chance to collect on any possible settlement or judgment.

Shows like this rarely go exactly what one could call "well." Lifetime has given the OK to a 10-episode docu-series chronicling the mourning of Whitney Houston's family. It's led by Houston's former sister-in-law and manager, who had reportedly been working on such a show for years. One focus could now become Houston's daughter dealing with addiction.

That leaves everything nearly set. "Parks & Recreation" and "Up All Night" have both been given NBC's official go-ahead for next season.

That's three down, one to go. With John Krasinski, Ed Helms and Jenna Fischer reportedly having new "The Office" deals in place just awaiting signing, the series looks safe for another season. But that doesn't resolve every question. Writer, performer and executive producer Mindy Kaling is bolting for FOX. Rainn Wilson looks headed out midway into next season along with showrunner Paul Lieberstein to focus on their Dwight Schrute spin-off. And finally, B.J. Novak has yet to sign a new deal, with the same responsibilities as Kaling.

What a way for Sony to start the weekend. The PlayStation makers yesterday reported a $5.7-billion FY2011 loss. That includes every PlayStation console - both hand-helds and the PS3 - posting sales declines. Today, Sony Corporation opened the trading day with shares trading at their lowest since 2008. Shares last started a day this poorly for the electronics brand clear back in 1980, when the Walkman was still new-fangled.

What a memorable way to make a casting announcement. Country Music Hall of Famer Loretta Lynn told a crowd from onstage at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium that she's taking her life's story, "Coal Miner's Daughter", to Broadway. And with that, she introduced the "New Girl" that will fill Sissy Spacek's shoes emulating the Grand Old Opry icon.....
