“30 Rock” hottie, Katrina Bowden, best known for playing Tina Fey’s assistant Cerie on the show, was named the Sexiest Woman Alive of 2011 by Esquire Magazine (pictures/video below). Excuse me? Katrina who?

Yes, Katrina is super cute… perhaps sexy, but how can she succeed to names like Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, Scarlett Johansson and Angelina Jolie as Esquire’s “sexiest”? NO way!

Anyway, the 22 year-old actress was photographed by a notable and anonymous photographer who came up with the idea of photographing real women (but they have to be hotties!), in their real homes and their real clothes (or comfy/sexy underwear!).

On being named Sexiest Woman Alive: “Let’s put it this way: If you say my name and then say Megan Fox’s name, most people know who she is but, well, a small percent will know who I am. I think a lot of the fans of 30 Rock kind of went crazy with it.”

On the sexy photo shoot: “I’ve never done more skimpy, racy photos — ever. Well, these aren’t “racy,” but they’re not exactly full outfits either.”
