The grills were fired up and the liquor was flowing this Fourth of July. Whether at home or on vacation, the stars took the day off and celebrated all things red, white, and blue.

Mariah Carey enjoyed a festive holiday with her family while watching the fireworks from the roof of her NYC penthouse, while The Game threw a barbecue in his Southern California backyard with friends including Diddy’s son Justin Combs.

Christina Milian and Amber Rose hit Malibu for Paris Hilton’s beach party, a bikini-clad Cassie soaked up the sun on her tropical getaway, and T.I. spent the weekend on a yacht in Puerto Rico with his family.

Lil’ Kim was surrounded by loved ones as she enjoyed the fireworks in NYC. Over in Harlem, Teyana Taylor hosted a cookout for hundreds of hungry family and friends.
