Lucy Liu

LOS ANGELES — There’s a new guy in “Elementary” star Lucy Liu’s life and he won’t be hard to detect — a bouncing baby boy.

The actress took to Instagram and Twitter to reveal the 46-year-old is a new mom to Rockwell Lloyd Liu, “brought into the world via gestational carrier.” He is her first child and a publicist said both “are healthy and happy.”

Liu plays Dr. Joan Watson opposite Jonny Lee Miller’s Sherlock Holmes in the CBS crime drama.

LOS ANGELES — “Django Unchained” actress Daniele Watts has been ordered to perform community service after a judge refused to buy her apologies to Los Angeles police she’d accused of racial profiling.

Watts and her boyfriend, Brian Lucas, were sentenced to 15 hours of community labor.

Last September, police questioned the couple while investigating reports of people having sex in a car. Watts, who’s black, and Lucas, who’s white, claimed they were profiled.

The couple later pleaded no contest to disturbing the peace and was told to write apology letters.

The Los Angeles Times says in her initial letter, Watts called a police sergeant sarcastic and dismissive. The judge said: try again. This week, Watts apologized for what she called lack of emotional control.

NEW YORK — Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer aren’t just riding jet skis together. They’re making a movie.

A representative for Lawrence confirms Lawrence and Schumer are writing a screenplay.

In an interview with The New York Times, Lawrence says the two are planning to star in the comedy as sisters.

Lawrence seems thrilled by their newfound friendship and says she and Schumer are “creatively made for each other.”

The two became friends after the “Hunger Games” star reached out to the comedian to praise her recent film “Trainwreck.”

Photos of the two jet skiing went viral online earlier this summer.
