Keke Palmer in Peacock’s Dark Comedy

Keke Palmer in Peacock’s Dark Comedy

Published by Daniella Wilson

It’s a clever twist of The ’Burbs, Peacock’s new series-length spin on the 1989 cult classic, to set its story around not one but two new households on the cul-de-sac. Where Tom Hanks’ Ray was an established local casting a suspicious eye on his eccentric new neighbors, Samira (Keke Palmer) and Rob Fisher (Jack Whitehall) are the new neighbors — at least for a little while, until even fresher meat arrives in the form of Gary (Justin Kirk), a sour-faced recluse. The shift allows the show to take on a more expansive view of American suburbia: its allure and its hidden dangers, the push-pull it represents between individuality and conformity. But if its ambitions are admirable, the execution is unwieldy. A lumpy, though not unpleasant, mélange of uneven tones, thin characters and less-than-airtight reveals, The ’Burbs may not send anyone running for the hills — but it’s unlikely to inspire anyone to put down stakes there, either. The ‘Burbs The Bottom Line Uneven, though not unpleasant. Airdate: Sunday, Feb. 8 (Peacock)Cast: Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall, …

Cole Palmer proves he really is ‘untouchable’ in Chelsea victory over Napoli

Cole Palmer proves he really is ‘untouchable’ in Chelsea victory over Napoli

Published by Sam Flores

Good evening, and welcome to live coverage of Napoli vs Chelsea from a blockbuster final round of league-phase fixtures in the Champions League, as Liam Rosenior’s side hope to secure their spot in the last 16 with a win over the Serie A champions, who are fighting to stay in the competition. With all 36 teams kicking off at the same time tonight, Chelsea come into this evening’s game occupying the final spot in the all-important top eight, but they are one of eight teams on 13 points, from Paris Saint-Germain in sixth down to Atalanta in 13th. Therefore, the two-time Champions League winners will almost certainly need a victory in Naples to cement their spot in the automatic qualification places, and even then, their fate may well come down to goal difference. Following a slump in form that contributed to Enzo Maresca’s exit, Chelsea are enjoying a new-manager bounce under Rosenior, winning four of their five games since the 41-year-old took over, including against Pafos last time out in Europe and at Crystal Palace …

Keke Palmer, Demi Moore in Boots Riley Movie

Keke Palmer has a unique plan in mind for Demi Moore‘s cutting-edge apparel in the trailer for I Love Boosters. Neon is set to release writer-director Boots Riley‘s feature in theaters May 22 after its forthcoming premiere at the SXSW Film and Television Festival in Austin. Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter and Don Cheadle round out the cast. I Love Boosters centers on Corvette (Palmer), the leader of a group of women targeting a trendy fashion mogul (Moore) as they aim to shoplift from the designer’s stores and sell the high-end clothes at a discounted rate. “I shop here a lot, and I feel like I should have it all,” Palmer says in the trailer. “I just want to take it all home, heat it up and shoot it out my eyes. I just feel like, ‘Give it to me. It’s mine anyway.’” Later, Moore declares, “They take my shit and sell it because they’re low-class urban bitches — with all due respect to urban bitches.” Riley, known …

Palmer Luckey says the coolest thing about Anduril expanding to Long Beach is the fighter jets

Palmer Luckey says the coolest thing about Anduril expanding to Long Beach is the fighter jets

Defense tech company Anduril on Thursday announced its plans to expand its Southern California presence with a major campus in Long Beach, the coastal town where founder Palmer Luckey grew up. The expanded campus will eventually support about 5,500 jobs. Luckey told TechCrunch that these will be new jobs, not transfers from other operations. Anduril’s headquarters is nearby, in Costa Mesa, California, and it also has a massive manufacturing facility in Ohio. The Long Beach campus will span 1.18 million square feet across six buildings, combining office space and industrial areas dedicated to R&D. It is expected to be ready by mid-2027, the company said. Long Beach is “a major aerospace hub right in our backyard,” Luckey told TechCrunch about why the company chose that location. The plan is to hire similar types of employees to those working at headquarters: manufacturing workers, technicians, assembly workers, and engineers across disciplines (electrical, mechanical, aerodynamics), as well as build and test roles, and “a lot of people on the logistics side, because the things that we’re going to …
