Ariel Winter Celebrates Her Independence With Bikini Pics, Instagram Rejoices

Over the weekend millions of Americans guzzled domestic beer, grilled tubes of mystery meat and blew stuff up to celebrate the anniversary of the original Brexit.

We’ve done a lot of questionable things with our freedom over the centuries (Good luck explaining Hammer pants to your grandkids!), but surely we can all agree that Ariel Winter bikini photos might be the crowning achievement of 240 years of American gumption:

Sure we’ve seen Ariel’s huge boobs on countless occasions, but this time they’re celebratory, patriotic boobs!

The actress posted the photo on the left with a caption reading, “Will always look back at this #4thofjuly #fireworks #family #friends #beach”

So will we, Ariel. So will we.

The pic on the right had some lengthy caption about celebrating the birthday of “the most amazing twins on the planet.”

Amazingly, that’s not just Ariel’s nickname for her boobs.

As you can tell, Ariel and her swimwear collection had quite a holiday.

We think it’s important to take time to thank her for paying it forward by sharing her boobs joy with the world.

Sadly, Instagram didn’t exist in 1776 (we looked it up), but if it did, our founding fathers could have saved a lot of time by just emailing a link to these selfies instead of putting a bunch of words down on parchment just to have John Hancock take up all the best signing space like it’s a freakin’ birthday card.

When you think about, those breasts send the exact same message:

Freedom is awesome, and outlandish tariffs on tea and other imported goods will not be tolerated!

Or something.

Brexit & Beyond: 11 Things That Should Declare Independence

On June 24, 2016 residents of The United Kingdom voted to enact what has grown to be called "Brexit."

That is, the departure of their region from The European Union. (Get it? Britain + Exit = Brexit.)

It’s a complicated scenario that will result in significant financial consequences, while also affecting immigration and a host of other local/global areas.

But it boils down to this: The UK has declared its independence from The European Union.

The historic vote got us thinking: How could this be applied the world of pop culture and celebrity gossip?

What else out there should declare its independence? Hmmm….

1. Anna Duggar

Her husband molested his two sisters. He also cheated on her with members of the adult website Ashley Madison. If anyone deserves to declare her independence from her deranged, controlling family more than Anna, we’re yet to meet her.

2. Kendall Jenner

She’s already started declaring her own independence in some ways, not wanting to associate her modeling career with her famous last name because she doesn’t want any special treatment. Good move, Kendall. For the sake of your professional future, make #Kendexit happen.

3. Michael Bloomberg

With Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton the only two candidates for President, many out there want former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to run as an Independent, third party option.

4. Blac Chyna’s Fetus

Must one be a full-on human before one can legally ask a court to grant you independence from your parents? Okay, fine. But once this kid is born to Chyna and Rob Kardashian, he or she has to get the heck out of there.

5. Ariel Winter’s Boobs

You could go star in your own reality show at this point. Get out of there. Go do it.

6. Selena Gomez

By her own admission, she’s an “OG” in Taylor Swift’s squad. But after Swift’s controversial dumping of Calvin Harris, along with the growing suspicion by some that the Squad is elitist and annoying, Gomez may want to go her own way pretty soon. She doesn’t want to get dragged down, does she?

The Cast of Independence Day: Where Are They Now?

Remember when Will Smith and Randy Quaid saved the world from aliens? Check out the cast of Independence Day now!

1. Will Smith

Will Smith is still making movies, though none have grossed as much worldwide as Independence Day. He WAS nominated for two Oscars, though, so that doesn’t suck.

2. Randy Quaid

After playing a drunk crop dusting pilot who saved the world from aliens in quite the heroic sacrifice, Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, are currently living in Canada – having sought refugee status after facing criminal charges in the U.S. – and apparently believe that Warner Brothers and other “star whackers” stole their house and may be trying to kill them.

3. Vivica A. Fox

It’s been a few years since Vivica A. Fox played Will Smith’s stripper girlfriend who loved dolphins. She’s coming soon to Sharknado 2!

4. Ross Bagley

Ross Bagley, who played Vivica A. Fox’s adorable son in Independence Day, hasn’t found much success on the big screen since the film. He’s currently attending California State University.

5. Bill Pullman

After playing President Whitman in Independence Day, Bill Pullman went on to play the President again in 1600 Penn. And a child rapist in Torchwood.

6. Mary McDonnell

Mary McDonnell was the First Lady to Bill Pullman’s President in Independence Day. Then she played Captain Sharon Raydor on The Closer and Major Crimes.

Independence Day Sequel: Watch the Trailer!!!

Ready to celebrate another Independence Day?

The movie world was taken aback (in the most awesome way possible!) on the afternoon of December 13, 2015 when a trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence quietly appeared on screen in the middle of a football game.

Oh, yes, there is going to be a sequel to Independence Day, people!

The follow-up to 1996"s smash hit will bring back original stars Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum ad Vivica A. Fox, though Will Smith will sadly not make an appearance.

We had previously chronicled the whereabouts of the Independence Day cast, wondering where they are now… and here"s your answer:

Many of them are teaming up for a sequel we never saw coming!

"We found something out here, something only you might understand," says a woman in the trailer, to which Goldblum’s Jeff Levinson replied upon arrival:

"On my God."

Ever since that July 4, 1996 invasion, Levinson has apparently led a group of united humans in developing a defense program to protect the planet against what he believed would be an inevitable return.

As for Smith"s Captain Hiller?

A message on the movie"s official website says he tragically died while testing a new fighter jet.

"We always knew they would come back," the trailer reads. "But nothing can prepare us for when they arrive."

Does anyone else have goose bumps right now or is it just us?
