Katrina Bowden Flashes Butt Cheeks on Maxim Cover

Katrina Bowden is looking quite cheeky on her first-ever Maxim cover!

The 23-year-old actress, who plays Tina Fey's ditzy assistant on 30 Rock, shows off her curvy booty for the men's magazine's February issue. Wearing skimpy Cosabella lingerie and a 525 America sweater, the New Jersey native opens up about how she first got cast on the NBC hit.

"I auditioned for the part of Cerie when I was about 16, which was a little bit young for the character, so they shot the pilot with a different girl," Bowden explains. "But when NBC picked it up a year later, I was old enough and they recast it."

"I got the part and then had to go to a table read, like, two days later. But I got lost going to the studio, and when I finally got there I was 10 minutes late. I barged into the room, and I'm standing there like a deer in the headlights and everyone is waiting for me," Bowden recalls. "Finally, Tracy Morgan goes, 'Don't just stand there looking beautiful. Come sit down here next to me!'"

With five seasons under her belt — the sixth season of 30 Rock premieres January 12 — Bowden has been luck enough to share the screen with a handful of A-list guest stars.

"It was really cool to meet Jennifer Aniston," Bowden tells Maxim. "She was so down-to-earth and normal and beautiful in real life."

Another favorite? Jon Bon Jovi, 49. "When he was on the show, we were talking, and Tina walks up and is like, 'So are you guys talking about Jersey?'" Bowden recalls. "And we're like, 'Yes. Yes, we are.'"
