Gabby Douglas has been added to the lineup of celebrity judges for the 2017 Miss America Pageant.Pageant officials made the announcement on Monday that Douglas, along with musician and actress Laura Marano, will be part of the judge lineup.

Gabby is the perfect fit for her judge role, especially after the way she handled criticisms during the Olympic games. The New York Daily News describes her as a 'role model for young women,' so it's great to see her part of the panel!

Also in the lineup for this year is NBA team owner Mark Cuban, actress Sara Foster, singer Cole Swindell and former Miss America Sharlene Wells Hawkes.
