‘Landman’ star Ali Larter gets unexpected praise and ‘bada--’ compliment from Hollywood icon

Ali Larter didn't expect Martha Stewart to be a fan.

Larter revealed she experienced a chance encounter with Stewart that caught her by surprise during a recent appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers."

Larter recalled enjoying dinner at the Polo Lounge with her family in New York City when the surreal moment involving Stewart occurred.

"There's a vibe happening," Larter explained to Meyers. "And this woman across the room catches my eye. And she has kind of like this twinkle. And she's looking at me. And I'm clocking her. And Martha Stewart starts walking straight at me, OK?"

"And I'm going, ‘Oh my gosh, is that Martha?’ She comes up to the table in this huge white fur, like this bold – she's like a lioness," she added. "And she looks at me, and she goes, 'I wait until 12:01 every Sunday to watch your show."

"And then she looks at Vivienne, and she goes, ‘Your mother is a bada--.’"

The compliment took Larter by surprise.

"We were just like all enamored in this surreal moment of Martha Stewart, who I love," she explained. "Who's like the queen, the icon, and she's a ‘Landman’ fan."

Larter stars in the Taylor Sheridan series as Angela, the wife of Billy Bob Thornton's character. The show is based on the podcast "Boomtown."

"Landman" chronicles the Permian Basin oil boom in West Texas that took place in the early 2010s, fueled by advances in oil drilling technology. At the center of the show is Thornton's character, Tommy Norris. Thornton portrays a "landman," a crisis manager working for an oil company called M-Tex.

"Landman" is filmed in Texas and Larter noted that sometimes things go wrong on set.

"We had a scene this season where it was like, it's the end of the day. You know, we have a huge crew, it's high pressure," she told Meyers. "And we are rushing to get this shot. And it's supposed to be one of those epic Texas sunsets where the egg drops. So I'm standing there in this wide open field, barefoot, jean shorts, and they're rushing, rushing, rushing. And I hear, ‘Action!’ And I'm standing there, and looking out at the horses. And all of a sudden, I feel something crawling between my toes. And I look down, and there are fire ants biting my toes!"

Larter chose to "lean into it" and completed the scene despite the fire ants biting at her feet.

"And all of a sudden, I hear 'Cut!' And Stephen Kay, our director, runs up, and he's like, 'Ali, you were so emotional. You were so connected.' And I'm, like, I'm crying because I was getting bit by fire ants. And I was scared they were going to yell at me because they weren't going to get the shot."

Mets agree to deal with All-Star Bo Bichette after missing out on Kyle Tucker: reports

The New York Mets have reportedly made a big addition to their lineup.

The Mets and Bo Bichette are in agreement on a three-year, $126 million contract on Friday, according to multiple reports. After falling short in the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes, who reportedly signed a whopping four-year, $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Mets pivoted to Bichette.

The deal includes opt-outs after both the first and second seasons of the contract, according to multiple reports.

Bichette, 27, had a good season for the Toronto Blue Jays last season, hitting .311 with 18 home runs and 94 RBI in 135 games. He sustained a knee injury in September during a collision at home plate and missed the remainder of the regular season, the ALDS and ALCS.

He returned in the World Series and was a big contributor to the Blue Jays, who were just two outs away from winning it all. In seven World Series games, Bichette hit .348 with one home run and six RBI.

However, during the World Series, he moved off his normal position of shortstop and manned second base, because of his limited mobility with the injury. Bichette graded out poorly as a defensive shortstop regardless, and it does not appear that the Mets signed him to play shortstop, as they have Francisco Lindor there currently, who is a good defender.

DODGERS SIGN STAR OUTFIELDER KYLE TUCKER TO $240M CONTRACT: REPORTS

The Mets acquired Marcus Semien to play second base from the Texas Rangers earlier in the offseason and he won a Gold Glove last season. With Semien and Lindor seemingly locked into second base and shortstop, respectively, it appears the Mets signed Bichette to play third base.

Bichette has never played third base in his professional career. If the Mets do indeed try Bichette at third base, it would mean their corner infielders could be making their professional debuts at their respective positions.

The Mets signed Jorge Polanco earlier this offseason to be their first baseman, despite him having never played there in his big-league career.

Regardless of how the Mets align their infield, Bichette is a major boost to the top of their lineup. In seven seasons, Bichette is a career .294 hitter with 111 home runs and 437 RBI, along with 60 stolen bases.

The top of the Mets lineup will look very different next season with the additions of Bichette and Semien, along mainstays Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil all having departed in free agency or via trade.
