Pop beauty Beyonce Knowles has two more albums left on her contract to Sony, and insiders spilling to Page Six say she's gearing up for a major renegotiation with the label
Her longtime boyfriend, Def Jam president Jay-Z, "has been trying to get her to Def Jam for a while. He would love to oversee her career - he kind of does anyway," an insider told Page Six. But it could also just be a ploy to get Sony to pony up more money to Knowles. "
Sony has had a bad year - all the hit acts, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and the 'American Idol' kids, are all on BMG."
"They can't afford to lose Beyoncé. They'll probably mortgage the farm to keep her. Which means a lot more money for Beyoncé - and Jay-Z if they get married."
Meanwhile, Beyoncé Knowles is going to war with a pop star from the past who claims the former Destiny's Child star covered her song reports TMZ

According to a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Federal Court by music administators, Beyoncé allegedly never obtained proper clearance to cover a song called "I'm Kissing You," originally co-written by a singer named Des'ree -- famous for her 1994 smash hit, "Gotta Be." Des'ree's version was used in Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film "Romeo and Juliet," Beyoncé's version can be found on the re-release of her album, "B'Day."
