It's March 28th. This is Entertainment in Celebrity News. Today, powered by AI, your daily dose of celebrity buzz. Bruce Willis' mom, Marlene Willis, has been a volunteer fixture at the LAPD's West Los Angeles Station for 22 years now. At 90 years old, she shows up three days a week, Tuesdays through Thursdays, reviewing police reports, jotting notes and fixing grammar to keep. Things sharp. Beyond the paperwork, she offers real emotional lift, hugging officers fresh off tough calls and brightening the whole station. Captain Rich Gabbaldon calls her an icon there, saying her steady presence means the world to the team. Officers treat her like family, and she feels the same, insisting she just wants to help however she can. Her quiet dedication stands out, especially since she never name drops her famous son, or trades on his Hollywood fame. The only nod to Bruce is her computer screensaver, showing them hugging. Former LAPD chief, Michael Moore, was so moved, he gave her an official badge as volunteer
of the year, and praised her humility in a personal note. Marlene's built her own legacy at the station, proving heart and hustle outshine any spotlight, leaving a mark that lasts long after the shift ends.
