Best Coast: The 15 Hottest Women on "Californication"

EVA AMURRI

Character: Jackie

Season(s): 3

Why they were hot: When Hank began his foray into
teaching, he and the rest of the world were introduced to Jackie. And
Jackie’s rack. And later on, the rest of Jackie, because as it turns
out, when she’s not hitting the books, she’s hitting the pole—the
stripper pole, that is. Yep. So, to summarize: She’s a hottie with
brains and she moonlights as a stripper. Grade A

CARLA GUGINO

Character: Abby Rhodes

Season(s): 4

Why they were hot: We haven’t actually seen Abby on the show yet, but we’ve heard
enough about her to know that she’s got serious potential. Gorgeous
Gugino plays a “likable corporate attorney” and obvious love interest
for Hank, likely being introduced as a result of Hank's arrest at the
end of last season for getting in a fight with Mia’s boyfriend. We
anticipate all kinds of legal "action."

MADELINE ZIMA

Character: Mia Cross

Season(s): 1-4

Why they were hot: Sure, she was fucking insane, but weirdly enough that kind of
just made her hotter. She punched Hank during sex, later informed him
that said encounter was statutory rape because she was only 16,
blackmailed him, and even stole his book about a sixteen-year-old girl
who has sex with an older man and is consequently sexually awakened, and
claimed it as her own. Psychopathic - totally. But a hot one, and that’s
what really matters. Besides, we can take a punch.

ZOE KRAVITZ

Character: Zoe

Season(s): 4

Why they were hot: Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet's daughter is another future guest star.
She made this list as soon as they started typing the announcement that
she would be appearing. Just Google her to see why.

RACHEL MINER

Character: Dani California

Season(s): 1-2

Why they were hot: As Charlie’s 22-year-old assistant, Dani’s introduced as an inept - albeit
hot - girl who has no problem playing along with Charlie's fantasies that
his wife won’t help him fulfill. It turns out that they share some of
them in common. Soon, through the magic of the Internet, Charlie finds
out that there’s much more to her than meets the eye - she’s actually a
Suicide Girl. Lots of scantily clad scenes follow. The Internet is a
wonderful place.

MÄDCHEN AMICK

Character: Janie Jones

Season(s): 2

Why they were hot: She was the literal lost love of Lew Ashby, a record producer who was
the subject of one of Hank’s books, and she’s named after a Clash song.
Even though she’s not around nearly enough to get a ton of character
development, she’s in a bikini for a substantial chunk of her
screentime, so we're not complaining.

MICHELLE LOMBARDO

Character: Michelle, better known as “Surfer Girl”

Season(s): 1-2

Why they were hot: From sucking off a popsicle in a convenience store to fucking Hank to
stealing his records and guitar in a post-coital haze, there’s never a
dull moment with this chick. Sure, she’s a bit of a klepto, but
everyone’s got their vices...it gives her character. Or something like
that. Besides, she returned the stolen shit a while later, so
technically it’s like she just borrowed it. Whatever. She’s still hot.

CARLA GALLO

Character: Daisy

Season(s): 2-3

Why they were hot: She plays a porn star and has lots of sex. This is why the TV was invented.

MICHELE NORDIN

Character: Nun/Heather

Season(s): 1

Why they were hot: We don’t really know much about her other than she’s a hot nun from one
of Hank’s strangely symbolic dreams. Thank. You. Jesus.

CARLY POPE

Character: Annika

Season(s): 2

Why they were hot: It makes sense that only another writer could ever really match and
challenge Hank’s sarcasm and wit, so Annika has the advantage of her
profession here. She was introduced as a character doing a story on
Mia’s “brilliant” first novel (when it's revealed that Mia stole the
book from Hank, it becomes a “scandalous truth behind” piece). The girl
can banter like a pro, which is enough to solidly guarantee her a spot
on this list. Pillow talk, people!

DIANE FARR

Character: Jill Robinson

Season(s): 3

Why they were hot: Hank’s teaching assistant is quick-witted, smart, funny, and totally
immune to Hank’s charms for a lot longer than most of the girls he comes
in contact with. That’s gotta count for something.

KRISTINE BLACKPORT

Character: Kristine

Season(s): 3

Why they were hot: We have no idea how Hank could fall asleep while having sex with this fine woman. We are not sleeping on her unless it's post-coitus.

NATASCHA MCELHONE

Character: Karen van der Beek

Season(s): 1-4

Why they were hot: As pretty much the only woman remotely capable of keeping Hank’s
interest for more than five minutes, Karen is Hank’s ex-girlfriend and
babymama to his teenage daugher, Becca. She’s outspoken, driven,
independent, feisty, and she tends not to put up with Hank’s bullshit,
which is pretty much the formula for a grade A hottie right there. Gotta
love some feistiness.

ALYSSA LEBLANC

Character: Betty

Season(s): 3

Why they were hot: One of Jackie’s friends, Betty (along with Veronica) accompanied her to a
party in season three. Rick Springfield is somehow involved when Jackie
and Betty discover Veronica unconscious later. That’s really it. But go
look her up on Google Images. It’s worth it.

BRIDGETTA TOMARCHIO

Character: Veronica

Season(s): 3

Why they were hot: Ah, the aformentioned unconscious friend who would not wake up after a
night of hard partying. While you’re at it, because you probably still
have the window open, look her up on Google Images too. Now hide this
window, 'cause we don't like watching you while you crank that.
