The Fourth of July is a day when families gather around to BBQ and watch fireworks -- but that wasn't the case this year for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony.

Turns out JLo and the kids spent the holiday at the beach in Malibu -- and Marc Anthony was nowhere in sight.

We're told JLo showed up with some family and friends, parked herself on the beach and enjoyed a little vino ... not looking upset at all.

JLo and Marc announced yesterday they were divorcing after seven years of marriage.

Beyoncé released 4 on Tuesday (June 28), and she's taking fans behind-the-scenes of her new album in the MTV special "Beyoncé: Year of 4," set to premiere on Thursday at 7 p.m. ET/PT on MTV and BET, and at 7:30 on VH1 and Palladia (encore presentations will air later on MTV.com, MTV Hits and MTV Jams).

The special was filmed during Beyoncé's year off, as she set out to discover what she wanted next in her career. It kicks off as B wraps up her I Am Tour, and finds herself at a crossroads before eventually giving into her mother's advice to take some time off.

"My life was award shows and tour buses and hotels and it kind of goes by so fast ... I couldn't even hear it anymore," she says of her whirlwind schedule. "I'm just thinking about the next shoot ... the next video ... the next tour."

Fans are with Queen B as she travels, hangs out with family, friends and husband Jay-Z, and takes time to reflect on her crazy successful career. "I never even realized I needed a year off," she later says. "And I never realized I don't know how to take a year off."

During this reflective time in her life, Beyoncé also began working on her most eclectic album to date, mixing genres and styles to make 4. The special also takes a look at her career as she takes charge of her business. "It was very risky for me to set out on my own," she says. "Sometimes we don't reach for the stars, sometimes we are satisfied with what people tell us we're supposed to be satisfied with, and I'm just not going for it."

4, B's fourth solo album, is a mix of sassy uptempo tracks like the lead single "Run the World (Girls)," soft ballads like "1+1," as well as sassy midtempo songs like "Best Thing I Never Had." She worked with producers and artists like The-Dream, Kanye West and Andre 3000 for the release.

"Being able to take viewers behind the creative curtain of one of the world's most amazing and talented artists, Beyoncé, in the lead-up to her album release is a pure thrill," Van Toffler, President, MTV Music Group, LOGO and Film, said in a statement. "This honest and intimate special provides her audience and fans a rare opportunity to witness a true, musical genius at work and the stories that defined and inspired her incredible new album."

Tune in to "Beyoncé: Year of 4," airing Thursday, June 30, at 7 p.m. ET/PT on MTV and BET, and at 7:30 p.m. on VH1 and Palladia. Encore presentations follow on MTV.com, MTV Hits and MTV Jams.

Miranda Kerr's Weekend Bonding with Baby Flynn

Spending time with her adorable baby boy, Miranda Kerr and her son Flynn Bloom were spotted out visiting a friend in Beverly Hills, CA on Saturday afternoon (July 16).

The model mommy, dressed in a blue and white striped top with red trousers, dutifully blocked with little one's eyes from the sun as they popped in for the brief visit before stopping by the Diane Von Furstenberg store for a bout of shopping.

Recently opening up about childbirth with Australia's InStyle magazine, Miranda dished, "I've never been through so much pain, but I was totally present the entire time, focusing on my breath and meditating. I kept thinking, 'if other women have done this, I can do it.'"

She added, "I thought I was going to die at one point and left my body. I felt as if I was looking down on myself. (Flynn is) a big baby, 4.5 kilograms at birth, and I thought to myself, 'I have so much more that I want to do aside from modelling. I can live with my body not being in shape if I have a healthy son. It?s worth it.'"

Meanwhile, Miss Kerr is also set to be featured during a new interview on Australia's "Sunday Night" which she shot during a recent shoot for David Jones. Check out the preview above!

Muska's Sponsor -- We DO NOT Condone N-Word Rant

Element Skateboards is taking a much more serious approach to Chad Muska's use of the N-word during his arrest this week -- now saying they are "extremely disappointed with his behavior."

0716_chad_muska_getty_ex
As TMZ first reported, Muska was arrested vandalizing two buildings on Wednesday night -- and hurled the N-word at security guards several times during the ordeal. 

At the time, TMZ spoke with a marketing director who played the whole thing off, telling us, "There is a major difference between n**ga and n***** and it's totally obvious he is not being racial at all."

0716_muska_video_smallBut now the company has toughened up and a rep for Element tells TMZ, "So that there is no misunderstanding, the entire Element family is troubled by this incident and particularly by the use of this inappropriate language. Element does not in any way condone the use of this word. Element is extremely disappointed with the alleged behavior ... [and] is further investigating the matter and will take appropriate action over these matters."

Kate Hudson Steps Out With Matthew and Ryder Days After Giving Birth to Bing

Kate Hudson joined Matthew Bellamy and big brother Ryder Robinson for lunch in Brentwood this afternoon. Kate was out and about after giving birth to her second son just last weekend. Kate Hudson and Matthew Bellamy welcomed Bingham Hawn Bellamy in LA on Saturday, though it took the couple a few days to decide what to call their new baby. They finally landed on Bing, which is from both Matthew's mother's maiden name and Kurt Russell's father's name, when Matthew tweeted about the arrival of his first child. The new family of four will have a few more weeks together before Matthew heads out of CA to continue his tour with Muse in August.
