If you happen to be around painter Beverly McIver when her cell phone rings, you'll get a nice little treat. Her ringtone is the song "At Last" -- and even though it's Beyonce's cover rather than Etta James' definitive 1961 version, it's a fitting sentiment for McIver these days. After a lifetime of struggle, things are finally falling into place for her art and her career, with an upcoming show at the NC Museum of Art and an acclaimed documentary film about her life airing on HBO later this year.

She's our Tar Heel of the Week, and you can read all about that here.

NBC's People of the Year (9pm, NBC) - Matt Lauer spotlights notable people of 2010, including Chilean miner rescuer Brandon Fisher. Also featured: NBA player Lebron James, Manhattan mosque developer Sharif El-Gamal, pop singer Justin Timberlake, and others.

Beyonce's I Am ... World Tour (10pm, ABC) - A look at performances, production, costumes, choreography, and backstage and offstage moments from Beyonce's world tour in support of her CD "I Am ... Sasha Fierce." Included: appearances by Kanye West and Jay-Z, and footage from Croatia, Africa, China, Australia, and Abu Dhabi.

If you're in the mood for a little musical entertainment tonight as you wallow in your carb-induced stupor, ABC has two big concert shows for you.

"Beyoncé...I Am Yours" (9pm) is a show from the Las Vegas portion of this summer's tour, and features unseen footage from the singer's life. The Vegas show was different from the rest of the tour, with Beyoncé saying she wanted to make that experience even more special for fans. 

"Paul McCartney: Good Evening New York City" is McCartney's July 2009 concert from Shea Stadium in Queens. The Beatles originally played Shea Stadium in 1965 and McCartney returned there for a hugely popular encore this summer (Shea is now Citi Field). The full concert is available on dvd and cd, and this show is an edited version. 10pm.  

One of the consequences of Michael Jackson's death is that his family has regained the spotlight, and like a lot of us, Michael has some crazy folk in his family.

Which brings us to LaToya Jackson.

But before we go there, last night's Video Music Awards on MTV opened with a tribute to the King of Pop, with Janet Jackson. (Kanye West: rude jerk. Beyonce: class act.)

Maybe you don't have tickets to Saturday's Soul Picnic or maybe you like to shake your groove thing privately.

Fear not.

Tune in to TV One on Sunday at 8 pm for "TV One Night Only: Live From the Essence Music Festival."

It's a two-hour sampling of performances from the 15th annual New Orleans gathering.

The lineup: Beyonce, En Vogue, Ne-Yo, Jazmine Sullivan, Salt N Pepa, John Legend, Charlie Wilson, the Rev. Al Green, Teena Marie, Anita Baker, Robin Thicke.

Timing turned the BET awards 2009 into the first televised tribute to the life and music of Michael Jackson.

And it was officially sanctioned -- father Joe Jackson was in the audience (with, naturally, Al Sharpton) and a brief, onstage, appearance by Janet Jackson. Clad in all-white, she teared up as she reminded the audience that while MJ was an icon to them, to the Jacksons he was family.

I'm just thankful that Beyonce had the good sense to keep her jewelry box firmly shut tonight. I don't think we could have handled much more from this look.

Would it have been more bearable as a straight gown rather than a mermaid shape?

Without the big print?

Maybe just in all black?
