Katherine says she decided to pull out because she feared her relationship with A.J. will be viewed as a "celebrity status" thing ... instead of a real, legitimate connection ... and worries that the misconception could spell doom for the couple. "I want it to be about me and him," Webb says ... adding, "He's a guy I can see myself having a real future with."

Katherine Webb has gone off the grid ... banning herself from speaking to ANY media outlets ... partly because her superstar QB boyfriend A.J. McCarron is upset that he's been overshadowed by Webb's hotness.
Of course, Webb -- the reigning Miss Alabama USA -- shot to instant fame Monday night, when ESPN announcer Brent Musburger pointed her out in the crowd and RAVED about how insanely attractive she is.
Since the game, Webb's gained more than 100k Twitter followers and has been getting hit up by media outlets from around the country -- including the "Today" show and various entertainment news shows.
But sources close to Webb tell us ... McCarron made it clear to her -- he's not happy that the media is ignoring his accomplishments on the field. We're told Webb is taking her relationship seriously and thinks the publicity could torpedo things with A.J.
In fact, we're told one major media outlet showed up to Webb's front door this morning looking to speak with Katherine ... but she turned them down. We're told she also backed out of several interviews that were already scheduled.
Sources connected to the situation tell TMZ ... Donald Trump -- who owns the Miss USA competition -- got word of Webb's self-imposed media blackout ... and decided to get involved.
We're told Trump talked her into appearing on the "Today" show -- but she won't budge when it comes to doing any other PR.
Sources close to A.J. tell us ... the QB has made it clear to friends he wants to keep his private life private. One source tells us A.J. isn't jealous of Katherine, but wants to keep the spotlight on his team and their accomplishments.

Ruh-roh... This is too funny; so are all your comments. It’s pretty easy now to understand why the center shoved him during the game, though.
AJ has matured a lot on the field over the past few years. Now it is time for him to mature off the field. If you saw his tantrum on the field during the game, then you can see he is in need of some gettin over himself.
I see him as a good kid who has the ego of a quarterback. It used to drive me crazy when he would do interviews and would be all I Me My about everything. Hopefully, this will blow over and he can get on with The Process for next season.
I am in agreement with AJ that the whole brouhaha over Musberger’s drooling has overshadowed the accomplishments of these fine young men who have worked so hard over the past four and five years. They have sweated and bled and broken and who knows what else to be the best in college football. But the media is obsessed with a pretty female who has been dating the QB for less than two months.
You should Google search for imagaes of McCarron’s mom. Very modest.
As a friend of mine said about his beautiful wife “You should see that sucker first thing in the morning”
I would bet there were 20,000 in the stands as good or better that night,
I get to visit southern Alabama from time to time and I gotta tell you,the place is full of splendid looking ladies.
wow— If she were in a pageant and the next day all anyone talked about was her hot QB boyfriend and ignored HER accomplishments......the faminazis would come out of the woodwork, UNGLUED!
the problem is not her or him...it is US...tabloid splash...oooooooooooooooooh pretty.......
the media just serves as whores for their pimps.....stop servicing the whores!
This dweebe will be kicked to the curb once P.Diddy or J.Z. shows up with the Bling-Bling and a ticket to Par-A-DICE, YO!
Who’s the dude sitting on the couch with his mother?
Barrett Jones needs to slap some more sense into that boy. Stupid to be jealous of your hot GF...especially since she is considering a career in acting...she is going to be in the media eye...regardless of Brent Musberger
“This dweebe will be kicked to the curb once P.Diddy or J.Z. shows up with the Bling-Bling and a ticket to Par-A-DICE, YO!”
Nailed it! Trump’s already sniffin around!
TMZ? It MUST be true!
He looks like a 14-year-old sitting next to her.
Gisele seems to have survived that okay—as has Tom in reverse.
His team is undoubtedly already suffering the ill effects of having been the big men on campus—from high school through college.
The idea that they need still more adulation for their football prowess is a little hard to buy into.
She’s a flash-in-the-pan attracting the Pharisee moths. He has a proven skill which should provide him a reliable career. He will age much better than her. He would do well to end it now.
Correction: lechers not Pharisees! Posting before 2nd cup of coffee FAIL.
My apology to those of faith.
