Joy Behar Will Help Judge Miss America

Whoopi Golberg said there was a “huge announcement” coming on The View this morning.

And this is what it was: Miss America 2010 Caressa Cameron announced the star judges for this year’s pageant and they include Joy Behar. Joy was presented with her own sparkly crown.

“My daughter said, ‘You call yourself a feminist? Judging the Miss America contest?” But then she and The Viewsters discussed that it’s not a beauty contest, it’s about scholarship and “being healthy,” as Cameron said.

Among the other judges: Desperate Housewives’ creator Marc Cherry, DWTS pro Tony Dovolani, actress Marylou Henner and designer Taryn Rose. (No Rush Limbaugh this year.)

“I will be looking for the one girl who has cellulite,” said Joy. “I’m just warning you.”

The show will air live from Las Vegas on Jan. 15 on ABC.
