Actors and producers are routinely prepped before they face the press, and it's probably rare that reporters succeed in finding a question some publicist didn't predict.

So it was just a matter of saving everyone some time when one of my colleagues asked Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who'll star this spring in CBS' "The New Adventures of Christine," for whatever answer she'd prepared to deal with the "Seinfeld curse" question.

"My short answer is that I have no worries about that, because I'm on a heavy dose of antibiotics," Louis-Dreyfus replied.

Well, that's a relief.
