What did our forefathers fight for? Why the right to look at sexy celebrities…obviously. (That and the right to blow yourself up with some fireworks…do you hear me, Bay Area, it’s a RIGHT, how dare you outlaw it.) Well, back to the sexy celebrities. Doesn’t it feel liberating? We here at Pajiba want to help you celebrate your independence by enabling you to get eye-sexed by some aesthetically pleasing representative from these here United States. So here are fifty lovely and occasionally talented actors for you to wave your flag and light your sparkler to. (Fifty-one if you count our header photo of the gorgeous representative from Washington D.C., Miss Taraji P. Henson. And you should, oh yes you should.) Which state gives the best “Come Hither”? I gotta go with Louisiana: Union, Justice, Confidence. Happy Fourth! Don’t get blowed up!
