Amid rumours about ill health, Apple chief Steve Jobs took to the stage of the Worldwide Developers Conference on Friday to the James Brown soul classic I Feel Good. And he felt good indeed, announcing the iCloud service, which will store on Apple's servers the digital files users load onto their Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac). This will simplify the way we manage our files - music, videos, photos - and eliminate the computer as storage hub, Jobs says.

Nobody takes the MTV Movie Awards seriously, but the teen-targeting show topped itself last week by giving its top prize to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, over films such as The Social Network, Black Swan and Inception. It was a night that saw popstar-turned-actor Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis grope each other on stage, along with all manner of juvenile jokes. Still, the stars turned out in droves, from Jim Carey to Reese Witherspoon and even Steven Spielberg.

Guitarist Jimmy Page stunned a capacity crowd at the Royal Albert Hall by appearing, unannounced, at Scottish folk-rock singer Donovan's show last week. The 67-year-old founder of Led Zeppelin helped recreate Donovan's 1965 album Sunshine Superman, which he had a hand in creating. 'Before [Page] formed Zeppelin, we hired him to come to Abbey Road to record Sunshine Superman,' Donavan told the crowd. The price for three hours of Page's services in 1965? 13 pounds.
