Before even making her Inside Edition debut, Katherine Webb has locked up another network television engagement with ABC. Webb will be part of the upcoming show, "Celebrity Diving," says the Xfinity TV blog.
Webb is considering a move to New York, which she discussed in her recent trip to Sports Illustrated for her swimsuit edition shoot, Fox News is reporting. She may even be headed for an appearance on one of ABC's most popular shows, "Dancing with the Stars," though Webb did not reveal for sure what her response would be. Webb took center stage during the BCS National Championship game earlier in January, when her boyfriend, AJ McCarron, and the Alabama Tide rolled past Manti Te'o and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. ESPN play-by-play broadcaster Brent Musburger commented on her beauty, the director showed plenty of shots of her during the blowout game and the Twitterverse exploded her popularity from a couple of thousand to a follower number in six figures.
Joining the former Miss Alabama USA winner in the contest is one of the most hated players in the NFL, Ndamukong Suh. Suh has had plenty of limelight in the past, between an appearance on a dating show and multiple fines and suspensions he has received from his employer for late and/or otherwise inappropriate hits. He has been named the dirtiest player in the NFL by the Sporting News and also the Least-Liked player by Forbes.
In 2011, Suh stomped on opposing player Evan Dietrich-Smith's arm after hitting his head into the ground three times after a referee's whistle had blown the play dead. He was suspended for two games and fined. The following season, Suh kicked Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin during a game and was handed a $30,000 fine.
Other contestants in Celebrity Diving include the purveyor of the skyhook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, ex-"Cosby Show" actress Keisha Knight Pulliam, Nicole Eggert of "Baywatch" fame and comedian Louie Anderson. The first episode will air on March 19.
