The last time that Rachael hung out with Julia Louis-Dreyfus was when she crashed the set of The New Adventures of Old Christine. This time, Julia's stopping by Rachael's home away from home for a few laughs and a much-needed lesson in the kitchen.

"I cook," Julia says, "but I'm not in cooking mode these days. I go in and out because I'm working so hard, so I really don't have as much time ... It's a lot of take-out and whatever. You know, there's always cereal, I figure!" she admits. When Rachael discovers that Julia's husband, actor/writer Brad Hall, also doesn't cook, Julia raises the red flag and jokes, "We're starving to death in our home!"

Though Julia is working hard on her hit show, she'll soon be taking a trip to Prague to celebrate her 20th wedding anniversary with her husband. Rachael did a little investigative work and found out that Julia always travels with her favorite lipstick and hand sanitizer, so she got her a little gift. "I absolutely have to have lipstick," Julia says, thanking Rachael. "I usually wear MAC Twig. And Purell, because it's always flu season somewhere!"

The Emmy(R)-winning actress, best known for her role as Elaine Benes on nine seasons of Seinfeld, tells Rachael what she looks back on most fondly. "What I really miss is the relationship I had with those guys," she says. "We had a really fun time on the set. As much fun as it might have looked like we were having, we were having even more fun than that. We were the show's biggest fans. That sort of comraderie, I feel very nostalgic for that."

Between Seinfeld and her new show, Julia has five SAG awards, two Emmys(R), a Golden Globe and an American Comedy trophy. She thinks the Emmy(R) statue is the most beautiful of them all ... but also the most dangerous! Watch the video above to see why.
