Baby Watch

Beyonce's done hiding -- she took the twins out for their first Bev Hills shopping trip.

After several months, we think, of keeping her pregnancy under wraps, Bey went out Thursday in all her pregnant glory for a shopping trip to Barneys New York.

As we first reported, she's still planning to play Coachella in April, but still NOT revealing how many months along she is. We can all debate again with these pics. We're guessing the black shirt's by design ... to keep us guessing.

Beyonce wasn't lugging any shopping bags. She's got assistants and bodyguards for that. Besides, the queen's carrying enough these days.

Question -- if your wife was pregnant with twins and due next month, would you still go on a couples trip to Mexico without her?

Matthew Stafford just did and his wife couldn't be more supportive.

The Detroit Lions QB is currently in Cabo with Matt Ryan and his wife, Sarah Ryan. The two families are super tight and usually take couples trips together.

Matt's wife, Kelly, didn't make the vacation (we're guessing an international trip so far into the pregnancy isn't the best idea in the world) ... so Matt made the trip without her.

Sarah posted a photo of the gang at dinner. Kelly commented, saying, "Loving everything about this picture except for the fact that I'm not in it and stuck in Michigan."

She added, "Missing all these beautiful people! #jealous."

Beyonce broke it down for her team at the Grammys -- vowing pregnancy will NOT stop her from playing Coachella, but she's giving herself an out ... just in case.

Sources at the Grammys tell us Bey was backstage before her performance, meeting with her production crew when someone asked about the 2 festival dates in April. We're told she said as long as she's healthy she will be performing.

The word "healthy" is key. Since she's having twins, Beyonce could be concerned doctors might order bed rest. We're told Bey reassured her team -- many of whom signed one year contracts -- they would all be compensated, even if she couldn't perform. We're guessing that's a reference to an insurance policy.

This was the first time some people on the team had seen her pregnant, and that's why they raised the Coachella topic.

As for the big mystery -- we're told Bey never mentioned exactly how many months pregnant she is.

Derek Jeter's gonna be a dad!!

The Yankees legend's wife, Hannah Jeter, just made the announcement on Derek's website, The Players' Tribune ... saying she's pregnant with a little girl!!

It's the couple's first child. Hannah says Derek has a name picked out but she won't reveal it.

Derek and Hannah were married in July. He's 42. She's 26.

Derek retired from the Yankees back in 2014. Glad he's keeping himself busy!

Congrats!

Beyonce just hit the stage -- plus 2 -- at The Grammys and kept things low-key ... sitting for most of her performance.

Bey opened her set with a video montage before appearing on stage at Staples Center to sing "Love Drought" and then took a seat for "Sand Castles." She also recited poetry from her Lemonade album.

The singer kept movements minimal ... taking a seat for most of the performance.

It's the first time we've seen Beyonce since the announcing she was pregnant with twins.

To nobody's surprise, everyone was on their feet when she wrapped.

George Clooney is taking advantage of his pre-diaper-duty nights by hitting the town with friends.

The daddy-to-be was spotted leaving Craig's in West Hollywood Friday night, with best pal and business partner Rande Gerber.

Julie Chen broke the news Thursday, saying George and wife Amal were expecting twins.

Russell Wilson was squiring his wife Ciara around town Friday night, and it's lookin' like a baby is imminent.

Russell and Ciara hit up a Daft Punk pop up shop in WeHo, and they were all smiles walking in the rain.

They're likely going to the Grammys Sunday night, although she's not up for an award.

Lookin' good.

Amal Clooney doesn't have to worry about someone booting her from her law office while she's on maternity leave, because she's fully protected.

Turns out, barristers in jolly ol' England who take time off work after giving birth are protected way more than in the U.S. The org that regulates the legal profession there allows women up to 12 months off and their job is fully protected.

Amal works with a group of barristers who champion human rights cases.

BTW ... if she's paying for her space in the law office, she doesn't have to cut a check for 6 months after delivering the twins.

That's gotta be a relief.

DJ Khaled's gonna need a major key ... to a dry cleaner after his son hurled all over his pricey pink suit.

Khaled was the center of attention as he arrived Thursday for his own event at the Beverly Hills Hotel. He announced he's releasing a new album, and his 3-month-old son, Asahd, had a release of his own.

Chance the Rapper and Diddy were also there ... to witness DJK's totally chill dad reaction.

George Clooney and his wife, Amal, are expecting twins.

Julie Chen from "The Talk" is connected in Hollywood, and she just confirmed what we've been hearing ... they're pregnant ... reportedly with a boy and a girl, although George and Amal have yet to comment on the news.

Rumors started swirling Amal was pregnant when she showed up to a Netflix screening in London last month rockin' a baby bump ... and earlier this month looking bigger in Barcelona.

George and Amal got hitched in 2014 ... a long time coming for George, who once swore off marriage and kids as one of Hollywood's most notorious bachelors.

Congrats.

Madonna now admits she adopted 4-year-old twin girls from Malawi -- something she flatly denied 2 weeks ago when she was in the African nation.

Madonna posted a pic with the girls, Esther and Stella, to announce she'd officially "completed the process" of adopting them. She's now adopted 4 children from Malawi -- she got David in 2006 and Mercy in 2009.

Madonna insisted she was not adopting, and only doing work with her charity last month. It now seems clear she lied in an attempt to keep a low profile until the adoption was stamped and approved ... most likely to avoid the criticism she got after David's adoption.

You'll recall his biological father came forward and said Madonna swooped in to get David after another woman was set to adopt him.

For the record, she now has 6 kids. Your move, Angelina Jolie.

Beyonce is "very pregnant" -- according to a source with eyes on her as she prepares for her Grammys performance -- and the pace onstage will slow dramatically as a result.

Sources connected with the show tell TMZ, Beyonce is in rehearsals for Sunday's show but the routine is changing constantly and the word is she will not lock the performance in until Saturday night.

There will be an elaborate digital screen onstage, which we're told will create movement that will cover the slower pace onstage.

And there are other tricks ... we're told there will be cameos during Beyonce's performance.

One source says Beyonce has made it clear, "She'll be taking it easier than normal."

Coachella music festival producers have had no contact with Beyonce since her pregnancy announcement, but they are NOT making alternate plans ... because pregnancy is a tricky issue.

Sources connected with the festival tell TMZ, producers have not reached out to Bey and she has not said a word to them since telling the world last week she's having twins.

One source intimately involved in organizing the festival tells us it's a slippery slope for them to start inquiring whether a pregnant woman can perform. They are aware her first pregnancy was high-risk and even required bed rest, but we're told they have no alternative plans ... it's full steam ahead.

We're told producers have not reached out to other singers in case Beyonce won't show. They believe they will know soon, and it's better for her to make the first move than for them to jump the gun.

It's unclear how far along Beyonce is in her pregnancy, but we may get a good idea at Sunday's Grammys, where she's expected to perform.

J.R. Smith's miracle continues ... the NBA star finally got to hold his preemie daughter (born after only 21 weeks) ... and says it's one of the greatest days of his life.

As we previously reported, Smith's wife gave birth to baby Dakota in early January almost 5 months before her due date. Dakota only weighed 1 pound at birth.

Now, more than a month later ... Dakota is still fighting and doctors determined she's strong enough to allow her parents to hold her in the NICU.

Smith posted a photo of their first "skin to skin" session. Smith wrote, "Today is one of the greatest days of my life. Today I get to hold my youngest for the first time! GOD is GREAT! #DakotaStrong."

J.R.'s entire family has been by Dakota's side at the hospital -- even reading to her as she continues to battle.

Beyonce's forging full steam ahead with plans to play Coachella, even with her 2 buns in the oven ... TMZ has learned.

Sources involved in pulling off Coachella tell us Bey has no intention of canceling, and has already booked 2 other big artists to join her onstage. She's made housing arrangements out in the desert for her guest stars, and we're told both knew well in advance that Beyonce's preggo.

One of the performers is from the Roc Nation roster. The other is from a different label, but still close to Bey. Our sources say the guests have blocked off their schedules for the gig and there's no going back now.

It's still unclear how she'll handle the performance, since she'll likely be in her third trimester by April. Beyhive might not love it, but there's always the seated option.

Jay Z is about to get some daddy advice from a member of the reproductive Hall of Fame ... Antonio Cromartie, who says when it comes to kids, THE MORE THE MERRIER!

Cromartie legendarily has 13 kids ... including twins with his wife, Terricka ... so when we got them out in Houston for the Super Bowl, we had to ask if they had any "twin advice" for Jay & Bey.

The Cromarties break down the ins and outs of twin management ... but when we ask if it's time for the 47-year-old hip-hop legend to get snipped ... the reaction is priceless.
