Baby Watch

It's official ... Russell Westbrook's got a baby on the way!!

The NBA star announced his wife is with child and due in May. There have been rumblings behind the scenes for months ... now Russ has confirmed it's true.

Russ and Nina got married back in 2015 -- and have been dating since their college basketball days back at UCLA.

Beyonce's Coachella cancellation didn't cause resale prices to plummet ... in fact, it's been quite the opposite -- tickets actually went up in price.

When Bey pulled the plug Thursday, the cheapest resale GA pass was going for $540 on StubHub. Twenty-four hours after the cancellation, tickets were going for $550 a pop.

Coachella insiders tell us it just reinforces the fact ... fans of the festival are going for the experience and not one particular headliner.

George and Amal Clooney make pregnancy look good.

The duo schooled power couples on looking glamorous while expecting when they headed to the Cesar Awards ceremony in Paris ... with Amal's baby bump already making an appearance.

When George Clooney's children are born, he can count on his pal, Don Cheadle, to babysit ... he just might not get back the kids!

Don was getting out of town Thursday at LAX and we asked if he'd give George any parenting tips -- or maybe offer his own full grown daughters to help out once Amal has the twins.

Beyonce has just canceled her gig at Coachella ... because her pregnancy makes it just too dicey.

Bey cited "doctor's orders" as the reason for bailing on the festival, which is interesting. She performed at the Grammys less than 2 weeks ago, but was seated for most of it. Obviously, doctors don't think it would be wise to even attempt that kind of low-impact performance at Coachella 2 months from now.

As for the festival, sources tell us they are now looking for a replacement, and Beyonce says she'll be back to headline in 2018. Makes ya think ... she's probably planning to release new music between now and then.

Silver lining?

Keshia Knight Pulliam's ex has finally copped to being her baby daddy ... but he doesn't want to start paying for their kid just yet.

Ed Hartwell filed new docs in his pending divorce from the former TV star, and admits he's their newborn daughter's dad ... as results from his long-awaited paternity test proved.

Here's the thing though ... Ed says he shouldn't have to start shelling out dough yet -- at least not until a court decides exactly how much he should pay in child support.

There must be something in the water because Hollywood’s hottest stars like Beyonce, Amal Clooney and Hannah Jeter are poppin’ up pregnant.

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.
