Benches cleared before Angels-Red Sox after heated argument during batting practice
Benches cleared before Angels-Red Sox after heated argument during batting practice Over the course of an MLB season, it's not uncommon to see several bench-clearing incidents. Those just almost always take place during the games. On Wednesday, we got to find out what a pregame bench-clearing incident looked like. And fittingly, it featured an iced matcha latte. As the Angels and Red Sox were warming up during batting practice at Fenway Park, NESN cameras caught a heated argument between Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson and Red Sox first base coach Jose Flores. The two exchanged words for a few seconds and tossed some F-bombs back and forth. When the altercation seemed to be winding down, Angels pitching coach Barry Enright joined in to stand up for his guy and got back into Flores' face. Players from both teams convened to separate the two. It didn't come anywhere close to a brawl as players really just joined in out of curiosity. Like, what possibly could have happened before a game to set Anderson off like that? One reporter speculated that it had to do with possible sign stealing from Monday night, but Anderson does typically use PitchCom. The best part, though, was when Red Sox manager Alex Cora talked through the situation with Anderson while sipping on a matcha. Absolute scenes.

How ‘Bridgerton' makeup and hair designer Erika Ökvist turned Penelope in to a Hollywood siren for Season 3
Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) entered her leading lady era in Season 3 of Bridgerton and she needed to look the part. "It's like with everything: How can we develop this character?" makeup and hair designer Erika Ökvist tells Gold Derby during our Meet the Experts: Makeup and Hair panel. "Because it's now their time. We started off with Penelope [in Season 1], maybe her hair wasn't flattering for her face. Maybe her clothes [weren't] flattering for her body. Season 2, she does what we all do as a teenager: Try out a couple of new things. Some things work, some things didn't." More from GoldDerby 'RuPaul's Drag Race' makeup head Natasha Marcelina has to be 'prepared for anything' 'The Handmaid's Tale' star Bradley Whitford on Lawrence's 'recklessness' and 'insufficient redemption' F-bombs, SAG complaints: The 'Fortnite' AI Darth Vader controversy, briefly explained In Season 3, Penelope initially thinks she'll never be with Colin (Luke Newton) until she gets some advice from Madame Delacroix (Kathryn Drysdale), realizing that she doesn't need to be anybody else but herself to be with the love of her life. "And when she then finds herself, she also finds her look because she feels confident in herself," Ökvist continues. "So that was kind of the thought process. And then we just got to find a visual language that then would work both with the show, with the character, and that would be interesting to look at for the audience because obviously they're expecting to see something new every single time we see a character onscreen." Ökvist and Coughlan discussed Penelope's Season 3 evolution during the second season. Inspired by Coughlan's red carpet style and features, Okvist suggested they go for a Hollywood siren look for Penelope. "Her features really, really work for her skin color as well. And then, of course, like the red kind of Madonna hair that she's got." Ökvist, who won an Emmy for Season 2, is quick to note that Bridgerton is a fantasy period series, not a pure period piece, so she and her team don't have to be completely faithful to the era. When it came to Penelope's hair, every style was designed to suit Coughlan's face and her body as much as possible. SEE Watch interviews with 2025 Emmy contenders "If we have got a curl, you'd put the curl under the cheekbone to enhance the cheekbones. So you're almost like contouring with where you're placing the curls. And it's the same thing with if it goes down the neck, where we will have a curl just under the jawline," Ökvist explains. "It's also really deliberate on how high the hair is up, if it's up or down, depending on the scene, and what we need the scene to do for us and where she is in the story. We had about six subplots for Nicola in her visual development. And they're not, like, huge in your face, but it's something that we found and that worked really well with the story or the visual storytelling as it were." And while Penelope's cascading fiery mane looked like a different shade of red, it was the same wig Coughlan had worn the first two seasons. The change in hue was due to the change in color of her wardrobe. Penelope was in a lot of oranges and yellows in Seasons 1 and 2. "With that color then reflecting back into red hair, it looks brighter or more vibrant, it looks like it's got more hue to it as it were," Ökvist says. In Season 3, she's in cooler shades, like blues and greens. That "calms the hue of the red down, but it is the same color. It just reads differently to camera," Okvist continues. "And that's happening a lot with camera and where somebody's wearing a certain color." When it came to the makeup, the shift in colors allowed Penelope to wear stronger shades within the warmer spectrum. "The cooler colors of the clothes are cooling her basic look down, so we can afford to lift those colors up to a warmer vibrancy," Ökvist explains. "And then again, stepping straight away from Regency in the scene when she admits everything to the queen, she is wearing bright red lipsticks. And it works because she's wearing a pale blue, I think, dress. And if she would have been wearing a yellow or an orange one, then that would have looked really garish. And also it wouldn't have made such an impact. A bright red within that outfit just will make a very big impact." This article and video are presented by Netflix.

‘RuPaul's Drag Race' makeup head Natasha Marcelina has to be ‘prepared for anything'
Natasha Marcelina has been with RuPaul's Drag Race since Season 4 in 2012, rising from makeup artist to department head. She's also won an Emmy along the way, in 2020, for her work on the groundbreaking hit and, most importantly, has witnessed the show's impact. "It's been amazing," Marcelina tells Gold Derby at our Meet the Experts: Makeup and Hair panel. "I feel truly lucky to have been involved with the show for so long and just seeing how it's grown over the years and how, just as a whole, drag has evolved because of the show and the influence that it's had on pop culture and especially hair and makeup of course." More from GoldDerby How 'Bridgerton' makeup and hair designer Erika Ökvist turned Penelope in to a Hollywood siren for Season 3 'The Handmaid's Tale' star Bradley Whitford on Lawrence's 'recklessness' and 'insufficient redemption' F-bombs, SAG complaints: The 'Fortnite' AI Darth Vader controversy, briefly explained Marcelina points to "all of the beauty influencers and Instagram personalities" who pull a lot of their makeup technique from that of drag. "Such as the contouring, baking, the layering of different products and stuff like that — all comes from that theater slash drag world." Marcelina does not collaborate with the queens on Drag Race — they all do their own makeup since it is a competition — but sometimes she has to provide products, like green makeup for Season 17's Wicked rusical. "Because clearly that's not something that that person was thinking, 'I should bring green body makeup,'" Marcelina notes. "We have that." SEE Watch interviews with 2025 Emmy contenders The makeup artist primarily works with the show's judges, guest judges, and celebrity guests. "It's basically a conversation of like, 'What's going to make it, what are they wearing, what's the vibe?' And based on that, we're developing looks around that. And oftentimes things are very last minute. So we just kind of have to be prepared for anything." Some of the celebrity guests come with their own glam teams, which Marcelina welcomes, especially if they're repeat visitors. "When we get the opportunity to work with them again, it's like, 'First of all, like, who are they? What is their personality?' And it's great when we have someone who comes to the show and it gives them an opportunity to kind of explore a different side, like a more fun, glamorous side, maybe, than what [they] usually portray if they're an actor or if they're a singer. The sky's the limit in just expanding on what their characters are." Such was the case when 1923 star Julia Schlaepfer served as a guest judge in this season's fourth episode, which is also Marcelina's Emmy submission. Marcelina is a "huge fan" of 1923 and was psyched to give the actress a modern look. "If you've seen the show, you know that her character is very — it's a period show. The looks are very subdued. The focus is definitely on the story and what the characters are going through versus aesthetic choices. So it was cool to come and have her do like a glam look, like something that maybe not everyone is used to her doing," Marcelina says. "She had this amazing pink feather outfit, which was super cute and very, very like kind of Clueless, kind of like '90s glamour. So it was a fun opportunity to just do like a big blonde hair and a pink lip and a dramatic eyelash." Marcelina's dream guest judge is none other than Cher. "I mean, how can you choose a look? Like, she's done everything," she says. "So many queens have impersonated her over the years. She's so iconic and I feel like that would just be the ultimate in a guest judge for us."
