Ashley Greene holds up a copy and celebrates her December 2009 issue of Maxim at Avenue in NYC on Tuesday evening (November 24).

The 22-year-old Twilight actress dished in the mag about how excited she was when she learned she had landed the role of Alice Cullen.

Ashley shared, “Oh, my God, I wanted this part so badly! I worked my butt off for it because I absolutely love Alice, my character. she’s sweet, sexy, and a killer! so when they told me I got it, I tried to play it all cool, you know, for about a minute.”
