Beyonce Coachella Performance 'Up in the Air'
Beyonce is not saying whether she'll perform at Coachella, and we've now learned she did NOT tell festival organizers she was pregnant when they announced she was headlining.
Goldenvoice -- a subsidiary of AEG Live which produces the event -- did not learn Beyonce was expecting twins until they saw it Wednesday on TMZ ... seriously.
Goldenvoice is playing it close to the vest, but our sources made it clear they're not thrilled they went out on a limb with the announcement, given this is a high-risk pregnancy. Bey is 35 and her first pregnancy with a single child was difficult, requiring bed rest.
Our sources say Goldenvoice still has no idea how far along she is, which obviously becomes a factor for the April event. In fact one source says Goldenvoice tried in vain Thursday to reach Bey or her reps.
A source connected with Beyonce told us the singer still plans to perform, assuming her pregnancy goes well.
That said, we're told Goldenvoice is not worried and doesn't feel pressure to find another headliner. We're told the festival was almost sold out before the January 3 lineup was announced.
As one source put it, Coachella is fluid in that Goldenvoice "constantly talks to bands," so a replacement won't be difficult if necessary.

Donald Trump Muslim Ban Throws TV Shows into Chaos
President Trump's immigration order has Hollywood execs and actors freaking out ... because Muslim and Middle Eastern roles are pivotal for a bunch of TV shows.
Casting sources tell us ... the 2 networks hit the hardest by Trump's order are NBC and Netflix. "For God and Country" -- produced by the "Homeland" folks -- have a pilot order from NBC which calls for a number of Middle Eastern actors.
We're told Netflix has a show in the works which also features numerous Middle Eastern characters.
Marc Cherry has an untitled pilot for ABC as well that’s set to star a late 20's Middle Eastern man ... alongside Reba McEntire.
Here's the prob -- casting agents rely heavily on people from the 7 countries on Trump's ban list. One big casting agent says it's always been difficult to cast these roles, but now it's "super f***** up."

Scott Disick treated himself like the lord he is when he escaped from the Kardashians ... by dropping tens of thousands to chill for a few nights.
Scott was hanging at the Setai Hotel in Miami Sunday through Tuesday night, and we've learned he stayed in their Grand Suite. The name makes sense -- it has 3 bedrooms, spa/sauna, gourmet kitchen and a swagged out TV room ... plus killer ocean views. Before ya book, it goes for $12,500 per night.
We're told he ordered plenty of room service while partying with his many lady friends and one guy friend you probably know -- Don Julio. 1942 to be exact.
As we reported, Scott beelined it for South Beach after a blowout with Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian in Costa Rica. The Lord spares no expense when bouncing back.

Kelly Rowland MUM About Mummy Beyonce
Kelly Rowland learned a lesson from Jon Voight ... don't talk about the biggest star in your life, and especially don't talk about their kids.
Kelly managed to say she's "ecstatic" over Bey's pregnancy announcement, but watch her dodge as our LAX photog asks if she, like pretty much everyone else, was in the dark.
She seems to motion she's having voice problems -- not sure if we buy it -- and then gives us a fist pump ... kind of like "Formation," right?

Bebe Clothing Creator Unloads Holmby Hills Crib for $30 Mil!!!
The creator of bebe clothing wear finally said goodbye to property after dropping the price by a HUGE amount.
Manny Mashouf put his ridiculously beautiful Holmby Hills estate on the market back in June 2016 for $40 million.
Even prospective Holmby Hills buyers flinched, so he slashed the price by a whopping $10 mil. Apparently, that made the house affordable, and someone anted up close to $30 mil to seal the deal.
All good ... especially for the new owner who gets a sprawling 20,000 square foot oasis that includes 8 bedrooms, 13 baths, a swimming pool, billiards room and card room.
There are real winners in this deal ... realtors Mauricio Umansky, David Parnes and James Harris from The Agency repped both buyer and seller, so by our calculation their commission is around $1.5 MILLION!!!

Prez Trump to Mexico Clean Up Your Act Or I'll Send Troops Down There!
President Trump is reportedly willing to lend Mexico a hand with all its "bad hombres" ... by sending U.S. troops down there.
According to the AP ... Trump told Mexican Prez Pena Nieto he wasn't doing enough to stop criminals and added, "I think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send them down to take care of it."
The clear threat came during a Friday phone call ... according to the AP, which says it has a transcript of the call. The report says nothing about Nieto's reaction. A Mexican media outlet also reported about the call, and said it was humiliating to Nieto.
Mexico's Foreign Affairs dept. is denying the report.
Falso news?

EXCLUSIVE
- 1 shares
Stevie J's failure to pay child support just smacked him in the face, and wallet -- the judge is ordering him to pay $1,304,835.86 ... and that's getting off easy.
Stevie was forced to fork over the dough to wipe the slate on back child support owed to a baby mama. He'll also be on probation for 3 years, unless he pays off the $1.3 mil sooner than that.
Stevie made quite the impassioned plea to the judge, saying -- "I accept full responsibility for not fully financially supporting my children when I was younger, but I've stepped up to the plate now and I fully support my children not only financially, but they are the closest individuals to me."
TMZ broke the story ... federal prosecutors wanted Stevie to do hard time after grossly falling behind on his payments.
He could've gotten 6 months behind bars. Now it's just financial pain.
