If you have followed "Californication" on Showtime this season, you have received an eyeful of some naked celebrities.
Springfield's guest starring episodes on this season of the Showtime hit have given Neil Patrick Harris a run for his money in the self-satire department.
Susan Sarandon's daughter Eva Amurri has made waves, revealing her inherited bodacious "girls" from good ol' mom, along with the delicious bonus of a hyper-sexualized, ego-maniacal version of Rick Springfield, played by Rick himself.
