Damages star Byrne will appear as Jackie Q, the popstar girlfriend of Russell Brand's Forgetting Sarah Marshall role Aldous Snow, in the comedy spinoff.
"I'm playing a British popstar, kind of like a Lily Allen, Victoria Beckham-esque popstar," the Australian actress told Movieline.
"I literally have four or five scenes in the film. It's really fun. It's been a few weeks here in LA, and then I finish up in London. It's quite a departure from anything I've ever done. Quite over the top and very fun.
"I just hope I make the final edit with all those comedians around, because they're pretty funny - Jonah Hill and all those guys."
Byrne's new movie Adam will arrive in the UK on August 7.
