dailyphoto091126Beyoncé is yours on Thanksgiving
Too tired to move after inhaling your Thanksgiving dinner? Just watch Beyoncé burn some calories instead. We wouldn’t exactly call it different—or even “a little different”—but the diva’s Turkey Day concert special, Beyonce: I Am…Yours promises to be a whole lot of fun. While the one-hour ABC event mainly consists of footage from Beyoncé’s ongoing I Am tour—in particular, her show at the Wynn Las Vegas—fans will also be privy to some behind-the-scenes action, including rehearsals, the artist otherwise known as Sasha Fierce kidding around with her crew backstage, and home video of the 28-year-old hitmaker preening for the camera when she was merely destiny’s child.

Cameras rolled as he smoked marijuana, drank soda mixed with prescription cough syrup, recorded rap lyrics almost constantly, toured the world and enjoyed the trappings of fame. The finished product, a documentary titled “The Carter,” premiered to critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival and the rapper reportedly enjoyed the movie. That’s why Quincy Jones III was left scratching his head when the rapper sued to block distribution of the documentary. “The interesting thing is that Wayne saw the film and liked it,” said Jones, son of the legendary Quincy Jones and the movie’s producer.
