Lady Gaga's latest album gets scrutinized, Nokia enters the phablet market, the White House offers up Obamacare enrollment data, SCORE dishes out intellectual property tips from SCORE, TechCrunch hosts Meetup + Pitch-off, a live chat with Henry Blodget…This week's news and startup events for entrepreneurs:

1.Gaga's latest gets tested:Lady Gaga's latest album, "Artpop," by Interscope Records is expected to hit the market this week. How it will perform is anybody's guess -- especially after the performer reportedly cut ties with her long-time manager and tech investor Troy Carter.
