Caesar salad, probably: “What am I, chopped lettuce?” This July 4, Caesar salad turned 100 years old. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans were pretty preoccupied with a different birthday. As always, many celebrities in the U.S. took to social media to share posts of their Independence Day festivities, including parties, parades … and yes, promo posts for their new or upcoming projects. (Meanwhile, the U.K. was preoccupied with a couple other historic dates: an election and the Beckhams’ wedding anniversary.) Below, here’s what Kesha, Jennifer Lopez, Danny Trejo, Megan Thee Stallion, and more stars were up to over this holiday. Spoiler alert: salad didn’t get nearly enough shoutouts.
Billie Eilish went DIY with the fireworks.
Hit me hard and soft? More like hit me bright and loud! Billie Eilish set of fireworks, is what we mean.
As usual, there was a huge party in the Hamptons.
Tom Brady, Quavo, Kim Kardashian, Druski, and Emily Ratajkowski were among the celebs who followed the all-white dress code at Michael Rubin’s annual Fourth of July party in the Hamptons. We can only hope that Drake had the sense to avoid fellow guest Megan Thee Stallion.
Before Rubin’s party, Travis Scott, Damar Hamlin, Grant Williams, Micah Parsons, Odell Beckham Jr., and more also hit the beach to play football.
Kesha went for a “Joyride.”
Of course she released her first independent single since leaving Dr. Luke’s label on Independence Day.
JLo stopped to smell the flowers.
Jennifer Lopez reportedly spent the holiday apart from Ben Affleck. But despite the divorce rumors, her ring is still on display in these floral photos.
Katy Perry did her best Rosie the Riveter impression.
She promoted her upcoming single “Woman’s World” with a photo that was a little reminiscent of Rosie, just without any sleeves to roll up.
Kendrick Lamar dragged that Canadian again.
Weeks after his Juneteenth “Pop Out” concert, he came for Drake by celebrating July 4 with a music video for “Not Like Us.”
Danny Trejo got into a fight.
Trejo was seen apparently trying to throw a punch — and a camping chair — after someone aimed a water balloon at his car during a parade.
The Beckhams celebrated a different occasion.
David Beckham and Posh Spice aren’t Americans, but July 4 is still a special day for them — this year, it marked their 25th wedding anniversary.
Ryan Seacrest color coordinated with his fam.
The Seacrests dressed up in red, white, and blue for a July 4 cookout.
Pitbull praised ‘the true American Dream.’
Hey, before he became Mr. Worldwide, he was born in Miami.
Selena Gomez was red, white, and boo’d up.
She spent the holiday with her boyfriend, Benny Blanco.
Mark Zuckerberg took the Stars and Stripes surfing.
It doesn’t seem like he and Elon Musk are actually ever gonna fight in that cage match … what about a surfing showdown instead?
Kelly Ripa shared a #TBT post.
July 4 was in fact a Thursday this year. What better reason to post some throwback pics from 1973?
Elizabeth Banks streamed “Party in the U.S.A.”
She used the Miley Cyrus song as background music over clips of a lake day and a local parade.
Sylvester Stallone found a flag filter for the ‘gram.
Just in case the caption of his family photo wasn’t patriotic enough.
