LOS ANGELES (AP) – “Yes, we’re gonna talk about it.” That is the vow Ellen DeGeneres is making as she prepares to launch a new season of her talk show. The first show of the new season is Sept. 21 – and in a statement, DeGeneres says she will address the shakeup of her production staff. The show has been roiled by claims that it’s being done in a toxic environment – and some celebrities said they felt mistreated on the show. Three top members of the production staff were fired. And the talk of behind-the-scenes turmoil have sullied DeGeneres’ image as a kindly soul. (Photo: CNN)
