BabeWatch...Katrina Bowden

The Grind is fairly obsessed with 30 Rock. The stunning first season turned sour in the truncated second, but the third has been much better. Last night's show a delight, if still veering too often into "Scrubs" territory with fantasy sequences and special effects. Liz, and thus Tina Fey, was seen struggling with the cost of success. We can imagine. Being the linchpin of a presidential election must be a lot of pressure.

Also, Cerie returned last night. The delightfully vapid office ornament is played by the willowy Katrina Bowden. Set to star in the upcoming films The Shortcut and The Last Film Festival, Bowden was just 18 when she got the "30 Rock" role. Prior to that, she had appeared in one episode of "Law and Order: SVU" and two episodes of the daytime soap, One Life to Live." Some people struggle for years to find success in Hollywood. Others do not.
