Californication Welcomes Rob Lowe
According to a Showtime press release dropped in Movieline's inbox earlier today, Rob Lowe will visit Californication next season for at least one episode. The square-jawed star, whom NBC is hoping will increase Parks & Recreation's female viewership, will play "self-possessed, award-winning movie star 'Eddie Nero,' a possible contender to play Hank in the film version of his hit novel." Apparently, David Duchovny's hormone-addled cable series is the place where middle-aged actors go to raise uneasy parallels to their own sex scandals.

"Don't miss an all new _Californication_ with guest star R. Kelly."
Doesn't it seem a little sad that a show with such strong, awesome performances from its female actors needs Rob Lowe to increase its female viewership?
True that, Robotbutler.
Any more stunt casting ahead? is there going to be a Paul Reubens story arc next?
