'Idol' alums celebrate the Fourth

While Americans everywhere spent yesterday held cook outs and watched fireworks in honor of our nation's birthday like any self-respecting U.S. citizen would, Idol alums were out in full force doing the same.

There was no shortage of messages exclaiming their patriotic festivities on Twitter, as many used the micro-blogging service to prove they were busy celebrating. Exhibit A:
