Regarding the funny or die/Get Him To The Greek videos, they are hiliarous and there are more "Jackie Q" videos. I don't know how she does it but she still manages to exude class from those music clips. Did anyone watch " Get Him To The Greek " yet?
 
Here's another:
Jackie Q - Supertight


The first 5 minutes of Get Him to the Greek:


:rofl: I had no idea she can do comedy. Jackie Q is obviously an amalgam of Lady Gaga and other pop starlets, but yeah, Rose still manages to look relatively (the songs are still vulgar) classy.
 
Haha, I just watched all of the clips and videos and about died laughing. I LOVE the accent Rose puts on in the movie, now I really want to see it more than I did before. One of my friends saw it and said Rose was great in it.

In England we are used to seeing the actress Rose Byrne looking harassed in a power suit as her psycho b*tch boss, played by Glenn Close, plans yet more horrors for her to endure. But while Rose awaits a decision on whether the Emmy-winning legal drama Damages will run to a fourth season, she has been keeping herself busy with a very different project. Get Him to the Greek is the (more successful) follow-up to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, in which Russell Brand plays a washed-up rampaging old rocker. Byrne is his girlfriend, Jackie Q, a model and singer with glitter teardrops and an unfortunate line in obscene lyrics.

'I kept saying to Nick Stoller [the director]: "Thank you for even auditioning me!" because I knew it was quite a stretch. Jackie uses her sexuality and you can see that I'm not like that at all,' says Rose, who is dressed today in a baggy grey jumper. 'But it's liberating to play someone entirely different from who you are.'

Rose, 30, grew up in Balmain, a middle-class suburb of Sydney. Home was a house full of antiques and not much technology. Her parents, Jane, who works in the office of an inner-city Aboriginal primary school, and Robin, a retired market researcher, are modern Luddites who eschew gadgets such as mobile phones and microwaves, thus ensuring that their four children are a creative lot: Lucy, in publishing; Alice, a painter; George, a folk singer; and Rose, the youngest, who started drama classes when she was eight. 'I was quite a shy child, quite timid, and with acting I could disappear a little bit, be someone else,' she explains. In fact, Rose was so quiet that at school her nickname was 'Mute' and a fear of clowns caused some anxiety when her father quit his job to become a clown. 'My dad is nutty. He recently gave up being a clown and is now a Tasmanian garlic farmer.'

At 13, Rose was cast in the Australian movie Dallas Doll, opposite the comedian Sandra Bernhard, which was followed by a Neighbours-style soap, Echo Point. The show was not a success and was cancelled after just three months. Subsequently Rose became 'a bit of a wild child. I was climbing out of my window and sneaking off to raves by the time I was 15.' She briefly moved to New York at 19 to study acting at the Atlantic Theater Company, founded by David Mamet and William H Macy, and that same year was in an Australian crime film called Two Hands, which also starred a young Heath Ledger. 'He was wonderful to work with – just a really spontaneous and natural performer and a very warm-hearted person. He was very enigmatic even then and he had a lot of energy. We were both kids really and that film was a big turning point for me. He was just so talented. To be honest, it's really hard talking about him. What happened was just so tragic and sad.'

After a cameo as one of Princess Amidala's comely handmaidens in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, Rose had her breakthrough role in an adaptation of Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle, playing the lovely and love-sick Rose Mortmain. It was this part that brought her to the attention of Brad Pitt, who was searching for a Briseis for his Achilles in 2004's Troy. Rose triumphed and spent most of the time in Achilles' tent waiting for him to return from battle for their romantic interludes. In the film Pitt had an extraordinary physique: 'All the boys in the film were ripped,' says Rose. 'Brad, Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana. They were all on weird diets and eating chicken at nine in the morning. Their bodies were like pieces of machinery. They belonged in the Louvre.'

Rose moved to London shortly after Troy to film the BBC mini-series Casanova, opposite Peter O'Toole. She bought a terraced house in Hackney with her sister Lucy and still professes a love for all things English. 'I used to hang out in Dalston, and the Arcola Theatre and Catch 22 in Shoreditch. I loved it there, but could never compete with the hipsters. I went back about a year ago and had a great time visiting all the old haunts. I grew up on British comedy like Fawlty Towers and I love Extras and The Office, although The League of Gentlemen always makes me feel a bit weird. I went to the Golden Globes in January when Ricky Gervais was presenting. The audience was a bit strange and serious about it all, but I loved it and so did the Damages table. We were all laughing at his jokes, but it was a hard room for him to work.'

Rose has lived in New York since she was cast as Ellen Parsons in Damages four years ago, but her six-year relationship with Australian actor-writer Brendan Cowell ended in January, even though he had moved there to be with her. 'I was in a relationship for a very long time and, to be honest, as far as the whole dating thing goes, I haven't even gone there yet,' she says. She has a quiet social life and is happy to have maintained her anonymity, which may be partly a result of a tendency to suffer from panic attacks. 'For most of my life I have been a slave to panic,' she says. This was particularly acute in her twenties, but a course in Sydney helped her address the problem and she is, she insists, much more relaxed now. 'I still get anxious, but when I do I know how to control it better. It is the main reason why I don't go out socialising too much. That's when my system goes down. If I am in a crowded place I immediately feel anxious.'

High levels of anxiety and paranoia pervade Damages, which is primarily concerned with the warped relationship between Rose's character and her mentor and nemesis Patty Hewes. 'I was very intimidated initially because Glenn's such an amazing actress,' says Rose, 'but, in a way, it was OK for me to be nervous because Ellen's very intimidated by Patty in the beginning. But Glenn's wonderful and she's a friend now, which isn't always the case on shows. Sometimes you can feel really alienated and isolated on set, but that definitely wasn't what happened on Damages.'

Nor was it the case on Get Him to the Greek. In fact, Rose felt so at home on set that she abandoned all inhibitions and, in an improvisational moment, did something that many have longed to do – she gave Russell Brand a hard slap. 'We were filming an argument and Nick Stoller likes actors to improvise, so I did,' says Rose, flushing with embarrassment. 'Russell made me angry and I slapped him.' Rather surprisingly, Brand did not respond well to this. 'Russell looked a bit shocked and said how much it hurt because of his sensitive jaw.'

In fact, off-screen, Brand was unexpectedly sombre. 'Obviously, I'd heard a lot about him beforehand but he wasn't a handful at all. He was very contained and quiet and pensive. He's definitely eccentric and a character, but he wasn't sleazy and I didn't know if I should have been disappointed or not,' says Rose. Perhaps such gentlemanly behaviour can be ascribed to the on-set presence of Brand's fiancée, the American singer Katy Perry (best known for her faux-risqué song 'I Kissed a Girl'). She had a small part in the movie that was eventually cut because, according to Brand, 'her acting was so atrocious that it ruined the film'. However, we do get to see Rose doing a perfect estuary accent – 'I lived in Hackney for a while, so I was going for an East End accent,' she says, 'and I used Russell as my barometer' – as well as dressing up as Mary Magdalene in a kaftan, with Brand as baby Jesus lying in a manger wrapped in a white sheet. 'We were doing a song called 'I Am Jesus'. My biggest problem was trying not to laugh.'

All these high jinks have given Rose a taste for slapstick. Her next role will be in a comedy scripted by Saturday Night Live's Kristen Wiig alongside Mad Men's Jon Hamm and provisionally titled Bridesmaids. What would Patty Hewes say?
