Knocked Up Celebs

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who I know best as Elaine from Seinfeld, is a busy mom to kids Henry, 17, and Charles, 12, career woman, and wife to Brad Hall. She is the March 2010 cover girl for Redbook magazine and in the magazine she talks about mom guilt, parenting and when she feels the most beautiful. Here are the highlights:

On having two boys: “Well, I have four sisters. I went to an all-girls school. So I just assumed I’d have girls. It didn’t even occur to me that I might have a boy, let alone two.”

On having mom guilt: “Yeah, the working-mom thing is definitely tricky. Guilt is a bitch. It’s so useless as an emotion, for me anyway. It clouds things. I’m not saying people shouldn’t feel guilty, but for me, it makes certain decision-making more difficult. And I have felt guilty. It’s one of the reasons I haven’t made a lot of movies. Network television is a full-time job, but it’s manageable. I also think it’s good for my kids to see me have artistic desires, work hard, and have success.”

On the biggest challenge of parenting: “Staying calm in the face of anything you perceive as a crisis.” So how does she end up doing it? “I don’t know. I’m still trying to do it. Let me get back to you in 10 years. Well, I don’t even know if I’ll be able to then.”

On when she feels the most beautiful: “When I’m superskinny. [Laughs] No, but I always feel good after I exercise. I run, hike, do Pilates. I try to change it up.”
