Beyonce To Testify In Copyright Case

Beyonce is coming back to Chicago but this performance will be in a courtroom, not a concert hall. Chicago songwriter and performer Rickey Allen filed a copyright infringement lawsuit a few years ago about one of his songs, "Cater 2 U" and a Destiny's Child song by the same name. Beyonce's lawyers claim she was "the source" for the Destiny Child's version of the song and she'll likely testify when the trial gets underway in a federal courthouse here next month. [WBBM 780]
