'Bring on 2021!' Celebrities share photos of their New Year's Eve festivities
Like the rest of us, celebrities were thrilled to say goodbye to 2020 after a year of challenges for so many. While New Year’s celebrations were subdued, there were still countdowns and COVID-friendly performances — as well as time spent at home in cozy quarantine safe spaces.
NYC’s Times Square looked different this New Year’s Eve, but it was still a hub of somewhat socially distanced activity. At midnight, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, who had to postpone their wedding twice this year, shared a kiss on the Ryan Seacrest-hosted Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
It was a big night for Lopez, who performed on the show — and celebrated the launch of her JLo Beauty line.
Machine Gun Kelly also performed on that program, getting a kiss off-camera from girlfriend Megan Fox, who became his “twin flame” this year.
Ryan Seacrest spiffed up — sans sweats — to host.
Justin Bieber performed a virtual concert — and released a new video for “Anyone” at midnight.
