    Kim you are a true 10; good job Brad! hide show

    Kim you are a true 10, good job Brad! Well since reviews have to be 100 words long I guess I have to say more. I really only watch "According to Jim" because you are in it, and that Father and the Bride was a great movie that I originally saw when I was I in 5th grade (you were a 10 then too). Anyways I wish the best for you and your family in the future and look forward to anything you do. Damn only 84 words; um I don't know what else to say; lets recap you are a 10, married to Brad Paisley, were amazing in Father of the Bride and I wish you and your family the best in the future.

    why?? hide show

    I remember first seeing her in the "Father of the Bride" movies, I was hooked after that. An now she's the sexy sister on "According To Jim". I saw the first episode of the new season and she wasnt in the opening, what gives? I mean I love her acting, but she was underated on the show.I hope that she not gone from the show. Brad Paisley is a lucky man to have her. If Brad doesn't take care of her, i'll take her off his hands.I saw in People magazine that she was one of the top 10 most beautiful women in the world. You go girl.

    I agree with those who feel that Kimberly is severely underrated. She really destroys many of the so called "it" girls, yet when you bring up her name to most they rarely have even heard of her. Sad. Oh well, I appreciate you Kim!

    Kimberly Williams is so sexy. hide show

    I really don't know about her movies or shows, I just know her as the sexier sister on "According To Jim". That's really the only reason I like her, I mean, don't get me wrong, I love her acting, she should be bigger, and she will be bigger in a couple of years. I just have the biggest crush on her. Brad Paisley, please take care of her. If Brad doesn't take care of her, somebody else will, because she is so hot. She should be one of those women on E! everyday and in the People magazine as one of the top 10 most beautful women in the world. I'll put her over Lindsay Lohan!
