Created by Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra's Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Seven Havens will be comprised of Book 1 and Book 2, each consisting of 13 half-hour episodes.

‘Mean' Ellen DeGeneres hit with new bullying claims by Adam Carolla
Adam Carolla is not a fan of Ellen DeGeneres. 'Ellen has always been a mean person,' Carolla, 61, declared during his appearance on 'After Party with Emily Dashinsky' Tuesday. The comedian claimed that when he was on DeGeneres' former eponymous talk show, he witnessed her staff being 'real scared' of her. Advertisement 9 Adam Carolla on 'After Party with Emily Dashinsky.'

'And I knew they were scared, because I was just sitting in my dressing room and their segment producer came in, and he went, 'All right, so we went over all the stuff we're going to talk about.' You know, Christmas vacation or whatever it was. And I go, 'Yeah, yeah,'' Carolla, who was on the show in 2012, recalled. Advertisement 'He goes, 'You're not gonna talk about meat or beef or anything like that, right?' Carolla added. 'And he came back 20 minutes later right before I went out, and he's like, 'OK, but don't talk about beef or meat.'' 'I was like, 'Oh, this guy's scared to death,'' Carolla said. 'This guy's scared.' Carolla alleged that another member of DeGeneres' staff told him he hated working for her. Advertisement 9 Adam Carolla on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' in 2012.

'I just went, 'How's Ellen?' And he said, 'Worst person, uh, worst person — not worst person I've worked for, worst person I've ever met.'' Carolla added that the writer allegedly used to work for Rosie O'Donnell and said that DeGeneres was a far worse boss than O'Donnell.

I wouldn't know it from my exchanges, I would know it from how her staff was cowering.' 9 Adam Carolla talking about Ellen DeGeneres. YouTube/@AfterPartyEmily The Post has reached out to DeGeneres' rep for comment. DeGeneres hosted her talk show from 2003 until it was canceled in 2022 following toxic workplace claims. 9 Ellen DeGeneres during a taping of her talk show in 2016. Getty Images Advertisement In 2020, current and former staffers spoke anonymously about their alleged experience on set of the talk show for a BuzzFeed News report. She apologized to staff at the time and producers Ed Glavin, Kevin Leman and Jonathan Norman exited the show. DeGeneres — who now lives in the UK with her wife, Portia de Rossi — touched on the controversies in her final stand-up special last year, claiming she was 'kicked out of show business' following the reports of her alleged behavior. 9 Ellen DeGeneres with her wife Portia de Rossi in England. @ellendegeneres/Instagram Advertisement Last April, she also joked at a show in West Hollywood that she became the 'most hated person in America.' Like Carolla, other stars including comedian Margaret Cho and 'The Bachelorette' alum Ali Fedotowsky have called out DeGeneres for being allegedly cruel over the years.

The Challenge Premiere: Cara Maria Sorbello Breaks Down That ‘Wild' First Challenge, Why [Spoiler] Was Eliminated
The Challenge: Vets and New Threats! New threats have officially invaded The Challenge! More from TVLine Destination X Winner Revealed! Grade Season 1 and the Finale Leanne Morgan Tees Up Her Netflix Comedy From EP Chuck Lorre, Reveals How Her Real-Life Husband Feels About TV Hubby Ryan Stiles NBC Reveals Fall Premiere Dates for #OneChicago, SVU and More - Plus, Organized Crime Returns! In the competition series' Season 41 premiere, 16 veterans are each paired with a rookie partner for a rough-and-tumble battle for all the glory. And with most of the early housekeeping having been taken care of in the Day Zero launch special, this episode hurls us directly into the season's first challenge, which sees players diving into a huge mud pit to collect balls worth varying degrees of points. The kicker? Partners are tied together and must move in tandem. 'The hardest part about this type of challenge is just making use of the area that you're in,' two-time winner Cara Maria Sorbello tells TVLine. 'You could be in a muddier area, a drier area. You might have to make your way around. And then you're tied to your partner. So when you're running down, you could be going for one thing, they could be going for the other thing. I thought Jake and I did incredibly well, so I was actually surprised when they counted the balls. I was like, 'What the heck?' I thought we crushed it, and then as soon as I come out and I look at everybody else's baskets and I'm like, 'Holy hell, how did they do this?' I heard people were kicking balls to each other, people were partnering up, so I don't know, it was a wild one. It was tough, but I like that. I like the type of challenges where you have to grind it out.' This season, the Top 8 teams of each challenge will earn and accumulate points. The results of 'Mud Ball Madness' are as follows: Nia and Justin (came in 8th place, earned 1 point), Leroy and Sydney (7th place, 2 points), Ashley and Gabe (6th place, 3 points), Michaela and Will (5th place, 4 points), Olivia and Cedric (4th place, 5 points), Theo and Izzy (3rd place, 6 points), Aviv and Yeremi (2nd place, 7 points) and Bananas and Dee (1st place, 8 points). Bananas and Dee win safety, along with the power to save one team from elimination. As for Rogan and Adrienne, last place sends them directly into to the Arena. TJ flips a coin to determine whether it's going to be a male or female elimination, and unfortunately for Rogan, he's doomed to hit the sand. New threat Justin is then voted in to join him. In 'Intertia,' players must maneuver a large hamster wheel-like contraption along a three-bump track. The first person to get down the track and back wins and stays in the game. But the elimination turns out to be a lot harder than it looks. 'Looking at what this is off the bat, I'm thinking, 'Oh my God, Justin doesn't stand a chance,'' says Sorbello. 'He's a little peanut in this hamster cage. All Rogan has to do is give one hard ram into it and he's a rugby player, you know? Game over. This thing's gonna flop around and he's got this in two seconds. And boy was I wrong!' A totally spent Rogan doesn't have what it takes, and underestimated Cheer vet Justin wins the elimination and his Challenge stripes in one fell swoop. 'It took a really long time. It was really frustrating,' Sorbello continues. 'I know Rogan got gassed because I think Rogan was going for pure brutality and strength, and Justin didn't have that. So he had to be creative. He had gymnastics and he had cheerleading, and he started using a really good strategy and did it just the way it was supposed to be [done], and with a little flair too, to be honest.'
