'Californication' hires Carla Gugino; 'Lost' producer found at CBS TV

Carla Gugino will bring the sex to "Californication's" legal briefs.

The actress, who recently played a porn actress in the South by Southwest debut of "Electra Luxx," will guest star as a defense attorney for the series' fourth season, the network announced Thursday (April 15).

Gugino will appear in 10 of the 12 episodes for the comedy.

Novelist Hank Moody (David Duchovny) is in trouble yet again thanks to his rampant horndog tendencies. That fling he had with then-underage fake stepdaughter Mia (Madeline Zima)? Well, she's gone public and that's never a good thing. Abby (Gugino) the lawyer is just what he needs to keep him from life behind bars, but can he for once keep it in his pants?
