I heard 2 things about Kimberly Perry’s possible boyfriend. A Luke Bryan insider told me she’s dating his tour guitar player but my friend Care gave me the tip she’s dating JP Arencibia, a catcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. JP’s from Nashville and lives there during the off-season. He’s a country fan and after last year’s ACM’s he tweeted, "kimberlyperrymightbethemostbeautifulgirlintheworld.’ Last year Kimberly was seen in a Blue Jays hoodie. In August, JP tweeted a picture of he and the bands crew from backstage. In December he posted a picture of a studio, the Perry’s were working on their next album then and also in December, photos of them were tweeted at the same wedding. A fan asked JP who his Valentine is this year, and he wrote, #themostbeautifulgirlintheworld’, the same thing he said after watching her on the ACM’s.
Speaking of the ACM’s, the nominations were announced yesterday and Eric Church leads with 7, then it’s Hunter Hayes with 6 and Miranda Lambert & Taylor Swift tie with five each. The awards will be co-hosted by Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan and will air live from Las Vegas April 7 on CBS.

For Valentines Day a few years ago Miranda Lambert got Blake a game camera that takes pictures of deer by his deer stand and then it e-mails the photo to him. Miranda says when Blake’s in his chair on ‘The Voice,’ and he looks distracted, a deer probably just walked by his camera.
Finally - Tim McGraw’s Valentines gift this year for Faith will be making dinner for her.
