Aramide Tinubu Projects like “Arrested Development,” “The Office” and even “The Hangover” film trilogy have prompted writers to infuse hysterical beats with satire as a way to examine the state of 21st-century American society. These shows and films comment on everything from race and sexuality to work and class. “Cobra Kai” creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald put a satirical spin on the action comedy in Netflix‘s Las Vegas-set, “Obliterated.” Unfortunately, instead of an uproarious commentary on the culture of drugs and drinking and the various factions of the U.S.
Intelligence Community, “Obliterated” is a baffling, nearly unwatchable hodgepodge of nonsense littered with penises and explosives. The series opens on a scorching casino rooftop amid a massive pool party. Seven members of an elite special forces team are finalizing a six-month mission to subdue a Russian bomb, and save the city from being annihilated.
No-nonsense CIA Agent and squad leader Ava Winters (Shelley Hennig) tries to keep the group on track while ignoring her irritating attraction to Navy Seal Chad McKnight (Nick Zano). McKnight isn’t used to taking orders, and his determination to do things his way causes tension between him and Ava. Fellow SEAL team member Trunk (Terrence Terrell), McKnight’s’ best friend, is an obsessive foodie with a secret.
NSA agent Maya Lerner (Kimi Rutledge), aka Tech Girl, is only in her element when she’s behind a computer screen, or openly lusting over McKnight’s abs. Marine sniper Angela Gomez (Paola Lázaro) is focused on her trigger finger and breaking the hearts of Vegas’ bachelorettes. Air Force pilot Paul Yung (Eugene Kim) is as strait-laced as they come, and is preoccupied with the distance

justified during his set at the opening of the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas on Wednesday evening.The 42-year-old *NSYNC member seemingly cautioned concertgoers before singing his 2002 hit “Cry Me a River.”“No disrespect,” he yelled to the audience before performing the single.The Timbaland-produced track was mentioned in Timberlake’s ex-girlfriend Britney Spears’ recent memoir, “The Woman in Me.”“Cry Me a River” was off of the “Mirrors” singer’s solo album “Justified” and the lyrics crooned about his breakup with Spears.“I felt there was no way at the time to tell my side of the story,” the “Toxic” songstress, 42, penned in her bombshell autobiography.She went on: “I couldn’t explain, because I knew no one would take my side once Justin had convinced the world of his version. I don’t think Justin realized the power he had in shaming me.

From Perez: “I have been to thousands of concerts. And THIS ONE will forever remain one of my favorites ever! This moment specifically, from @KylieMinogue’s Las Vegas residency at @VenetianVegas’ @VoltaireLV, is an instant highlight of my life! I was obviously aware of Kylie Minogue growing up, but it was this song – “Spinning Around”, released in 2000 – that really got me into her entire body of work. Recently graduated from NYU and a voracious lover of music, I went to the old Tower Records on Broadway and 4th and bought all her old albums. Plus, I became obsessed with “Light Years”. Her music has since been a constant in my life. She and her songs bring me joy. Pure joy! Kylie has the best quality control! Consistency queen!! Greatness and nothing but greatness. Every time! She doesn’t miss! And, I’ve been fortunate enough to see her in concert many times – from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Boston and New York. But seeing her so intimately in Vegas – what a treat! A true blessing for all us hardcore Kylie fans! And she is having the time of her life on that stage! I would go to every single one of the shows, if I could. And I’m not even kidding! “
