CASTING SCOOP! Justine Bateman on Californication!

Hot Californication casting scoop!

Justine Bateman, last seen dealing drugs and getting popped on Desperate Housewives, is getting down and dirty in an upcoming episode.

My fellow blogger, Red Carpet Confidential's Valerie Nome, got the exclusive on the Family Ties alum’s steamy guest spot.

“What every female over 18 does on that show – that’s what I do,” she declares. “Everybody has to get together with David Duchovny.”

Not that she's (or we would be) complaining.

“I love David. I’ve worked with him before. I played his wife in a film called The TV Set,” she says. “He was doing this Californication episode and wanted me to play the part.”

Justine also reveals that David is one smart cookie.

“Within a conversation, he can make references to all kinds of things that you never read,” she says.

Californication airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on Showtime. Check out Justine's performance on Nov. 9.
