Wednesday's P.M. Hot Clicks: Penelope Cruz; Sad, Empty Ballpark
Hello everyone, Andrew Doughty from Next Impulse Sports here with a fantastic dose of P.M. Hot Clicks. Feel free to follow me on Twitter for daily thoughts, links and brilliant recommendations.
Sad, Empty Ballpark

Shockingly, in 145 years of baseball there remain a few things that have never been done. The White Sox and Orioles checked off one of those items on Wednesday when they played an afternoon matinee in front of zero fans. Amidst the ongoing riots and protests following the death of Freddie Gray, Major League Baseball and the two organizations decided to close the game to the public to ensure the safety of players, managers, fans and others at Camden Yards. The decision was not shocking considering the dangerous behavior outside of the Orioles' home but it is still a momentous occasion and one that did not go unnoticed.
Birthdays Galore
The one and only Jay Cutler turned 32 today and while the highly criticized and widely disliked Chicago Bears quarterback remains among the most despised players in the league, he still gets to see the beautiful Kristin Cavallari every night. Ultimate man crush David Beckham turned 40 Tuesday, a birthday brilliantly celebrated by these sick Beckham drawings. Kevin Harvick gave Dale Earnhardt Jr. a touching gift on Dale Sr.'s would-be 64th birthday and Hugh Hefner's bombshell wife, Crystal Hefner, turned 60-years-younger-than-him today.
Feeling Musical
Stroke 9, the little-known musical minds behind The Love Boat theme song, has given us a catchy new song for the Warriors playoff run. Snoop Dogg's 'Bush' album will reportedly include Rick Ross, Stevie Wonder and others. Is Justin Bieber stepping away from music and into Zoolander 2? And lastly, here's a quiz for all you WWE fanatics on how well you know wrestlers' walk-up music.
Lovely Lady of the Day
Continuing on the earlier birthday train, we would like to wish the ageless Penelope Cruz a belated Happy Birthday, with the beautiful actress and model celebrating the big 45 on Tuesday (click here for full-sized gallery).
