Beauty queen lands new TV gig that is bound to boost her profile considerably

Earlier this month, Katherine Webb was, more or less, just AJ McCarron’s girlfriend though, admittedly, she was so “hot” that not even an ESPN veteran anchor could stop gushing about her. Today, she’s officially a TV correspondent.

And she’s getting to cover the Super Bowl no less.

Webb, who is actually a beauty queen – crowned Miss Alabama –, is now signed to Inside Edition to cover the biggest sporting event of the year. Above is her first official photo on the job.

“So excited to be chosen to cover the Super Bowl XLVII for @InsideEdition in New Orleans!” the stunner gushes on her Twitter.

The same feed confirms that she’s already started work on the new job and, though she describes it as “madness,” she’s totally thrilled about it.
