Kimberly Perry's Dad Gave Her The Best Showbiz Advice Ever!

Parents usually tell their aspiring rock star children to have a second career ready, just in case the whole music thing doesn't pan out. But I have to give props to KIMBERLY PERRY'S dad for saying the exact opposite. When Kimberly was in 10th grade, she decided to give music a try. Her dad advised her to JUMP IN with everything. Kimberly explains, quote, "My dad told me, 'Do not have a fallback plan, or you're gonna fall back on it.'"

Kimberly Perry Wore the Same Dress to the "AMAs" that Emma Stone Wore to the "MTV Movie Awards".

Normally, I couldn't care less if two stars get photographed wearing the same dress, or skirt, or sensible pantsuit. But I'm feeling a need to speak up because, in this case, "Us Weekly" totally set up KIMBERLY PERRY to look bad.
Here's what happened: The dress that Kimberly wore to Sunday's "American Music Awards" is pretty much the same one EMMA STONE wore five months earlier to the "MTV Movie Awards". Whatever, right? But "Us Weekly" decided to run a side-by-side comparison asking people to vote for "Who Wore It Best?" Emma won by a landslide, but I'm calling HUGE FOUL because the photo made Kimberly look four feet tall. (--Here's the comparison.)

So, because I believe she was wronged, my lead in photo is a much more flattering photo of Kimberly Perry. Gotta sick up for my "Country Peeps"!

Kimberly Perry Used to Go "Mud Ridin'" With Boys.

THE BAND PERRY is currently on the road opening for TIM MCGRAW. It's a pretty sweet gig especially for KIMBERLY PERRY who has some naughty teenage memories of listening to Tim's music. She explains, quote, "I grew up listening to Tim in Mobile, Alabama, going mud ridin'. It is when you go with your boyfriend. That's what we would do when it rained. We would all get in these jacked-up trucks and go ride through mud puddles. "And I remember listening to Tim when I was 15 or 16 years old, riding in these mud trucks." Kimberly says the song they would play over and over was "It's Your Love".
