Katherine Webb

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/alabama-katherine-webb-joins-reality-show-article-1.1244612

Now a household name, just a couple weeks ago, Katherine Webb(dating Alabama's quarterback AJ McCarron) was an ex Miss Alabama USA titleholder working on the managerial end of the popular fast food chain: Chick-Fil-A.

After 15 of airtime during the ESPN broadcast of the BCS Chamionship game, she now has modeling offers, a judging position at the Miss USA pageant in the Summer, and now a spot on reality television. This goes to show how the slightest bit of airtime can affect a mass audience. Throughout the game, Webb received thousands of new twitter followers, including several celebrities. Pretty crazy.

    It is crazy how from just a little bit of air time, Katherine Webb has all these new job opportunities! I wish it was always that easy.
