Her entrance and exit create an expectation for weirdness that is not adequately fulfilled.

(The music and television operations remain big moneymakers.) Around the same time, Schulhof recruited Jeff Sagansky, the former president of CBS's entertainment division, to be his second in command. But observers wonder what role Sagansky has been playing as a long-term strategist. "He's a mystery to everyone," says a Hollywood agent. Though he may have helped save Sony Pictures, Schulhof...
