Rachel Weisz found learning the accordion "silly." The actress' character in "The Brothers Bloom" plays several musical instruments, and although she had to take hours of lessons before shooting started, she had the most difficulty with the bellowing squeezebox.

She explained: "We were in Serbia when we were doing the scenes and I learned the accordion with a professor who spoke no English and I spoke no Serbian. I just wish someone had made a documentary of me trying to learn the accordion because it was so silly."

Rachel Weisz has topped a poll of Hollywood's sexiest women, as voted by lesbians. "The Mummy" actress - who is engaged to "Requiem For A Dream" director Darren Aronofsky - took the number one spot in the Women We'd Love To Love poll of 4,000 gay women.

A spokesman is quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "From her woman in peril in the first two 'Mummy' movies to her Academy Award winning turn in 'The Constant Gardener,' Rachel Weisz is one gorgeous English gal with a whole lot of range."

Rachel Weisz is set to move back to the U.K.

The British actress - who has lived in the U.S. for five years - has reportedly splashed out on a $7 million mansion in Primrose Hill, North London.

Ryan Reynolds was devastated he couldn't have a "hot romance" with Julia Roberts because she played his onscreen mother.

The Canadian actor - who is dating 'Match Point' star Scarlett Johansson - was hoping to get his hands on the 40-year-old redheaded actress in some raunchy love scenes for new movie 'Fireflies in the Garden', but had to settle for the "old Julia Roberts".
