JAY-Z & BEYONCE GETTING CLOSER TO THE ALTAR?

According to the NY Daily News gossip column, things could be getting more serious for Jay-Z and Beyoncé. The couple of nearly six years have been slow to take that next step in their relationship, in part because her parents believe she's too young (26) to get married.

But now that Beyoncé's acting career is taking off, her folks are more open to the pair getting serious, says a pal of the Knowles clan.

While Beyoncé was on location filming "Cadillac Records," Jay-Z met up with Knowles sibling Solange in the Florida Room of South Beach's Delano Hotel, where the pair sipped on Don Julio tequila and chatted about how Hov could move things to the next level.
