Memories, memories, memories!!

For the Fourth of July mid-week holiday here, Kim Kardashian West decided to share some old, nostalgic personal photos of a previous year's pool party an picnic for the holiday -- and we are sooooo happy for it!

Kim just posted this photo of her at a MUCH younger age alongside sisters Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner (who look like such babies!!!!) and long-time family friend Adrienne Bailon (below) on her personal blog!!!

Ahhhh! The nostalgia!!! Back in the days of the Cheetah Girls, and back when Rob and Adrienne were a thing!! How time flies...

Kim wrote along with the pic (below):

"Since it's the Fourth of July, I wanted to throw it back to these pictures we took in 2008 when we had a pool party. Such fun memories! We made a cake and everyone got thrown in the pool, lol. I hope everyone has a great Fourth of July today!"

Ha!!

Too fun!!

What'd y'all think, Perezcious readers?? And how'd you spend your Fourth??

Let us know in the comments (below)!!!

Uhhh... so much for all that relationship (and legal) drama from, like, two seconds ago?!

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley have apparently buried the hatchet -- for now -- after publicly showing out together on social media by spending the Fourth of July holiday together along with their 3-month old baby girl, Ariana Sky.

Related: Watch Ronnie & The Situation Get Into Explosive Fight

The pair popped up on Ronnie's Instagram Stories a few hours ago, with a filtered selfie video of him and Jen making kissy faces along with some holiday-themed graphics and images.

Reportedly, they're together for the holiday because they've brought Ariana Sky to see the Jersey Shore star's family -- which could mean Jen is in for a, uh, special treat dealing with the in-laws.

Ch-ch-check 'em out (below):

Well OK then!

Seems like all is good and back to normal... for now...

USA! USA! USA! USA!

America may be a pretty shitty place to live right now if you're black, or brown, or a woman, or LGBT, or somebody with a soul and/or a conscience (or any combination of all the above!), but if you're a big fat ol' white dude who loves wieners in your face, oh boy, do we have some good news for you!!!

As you can see (above), Joey Chestnut once again won America's finest tradition on Wednesday afternoon when he set a new world (!) record by consuming 74 hot dogs at the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island, New York.

An age-old July 4th tradition, this 102-year-old (!) ten-minute-long all-you-can-eat contest has lately been truly dominated by America's best eater, in Chestnut. And today, he did it again -- though he had 64 on screen at the end of the contest, officials later said he actually ate 74. Oooookay...

Eat it up, America! Our roads and bridges are falling apart, our schools are rapidly turning into underfunded lukewarm dog shit, and our leaders are more corrupt and hapless than they've ever been, but forget all that, because no one sticks wieners in their mouths like we do, damn it!!!!

USA! USA! USA! USA!

Just what you needed for your Fourth of July, right?!

Michael Avenatti -- AKA Stormy Daniels' hot lawyer who has really risen to prominence over the past year as the porn star goes toe-to-toe with Donald Trump -- is considering making a run himself!

On Twitter today, Avenatti was asked (maybe seriously, maybe not?) whether he was considering running for President in 2020, and the lawyer surprisingly had a serious, and significant, response (below):

IF (big) he seeks re-election, I will run, but only if I think that there is no other candidate in the race that has a REAL chance at beating him. We can't relive 2016. I love this country, our values and our people too much to sit by while they are destroyed. #FightClub #Basta

Whoa!!!

What do y'all think, Perezcious readers?! A Trump-Avenatti show down coming??? Or will somebody else step up??

Kylie Jenner just raised the stakes!!

It's no secret the rich and famous like to shower extra love on their dogs (ahem, Paris Hilton!), but Kylie just took it a step above and beyond by building an incredible dog house that has both heating and air conditioning, among many other things!!

Related: Kylie Gives Kim Mommy Advice?!

The KUWTK star evidently felt her pups deserved a little bit of attention and love right now after, ya know, she gave birth to Stormi Webster and has since been doing the family thing with Travis Scott.

So, she up and created a huge, heated, air-conditioned dog house which -- judging by screenshots of one of her recent Snapchat videos of the place (below) -- looks pretty damn good!!!

Nice!!!

Jenner's whole menagerie -- which includes Italian greyhounds Norman and Bambi -- are for sure going to love living in there!

The role of the godparent has, in many cases, expanded far beyond being involved in a kid’s religious upbringing, and often, being considered an auntie has less to do with being sharing the same relatives and more to do with sharing a deep bond with the offspring of a dear friend. And how cool is that, for both the child in question and for the adults involved? I don’t think there’s such a thing as having too many positive, loving adult influences on a child, and there’s a reason the saying, “It takes a village” has stuck around — those…
