* HollywoodHypeMachine: She got a pretty big push in the late-1990s, early-2000s era, as Hollywood wanted her to be the next big star- magazines, TV shows, and anything else celebrity-related followed suit, but then ''Film/JosieAndThePussycats2001'' happened. And that was it. All she's gotten since then are parts in other failed movies and roles on TV, though at least unlike some victims of the Hype Machine she has been working steadily and hasn't turned into a celebrity joke. She's also landed one of the main roles in ''Series/{{Perception}}''.

In 2004, she married ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' star Dan Gillies, with whom she has two children, though the couple announced in June 2019 that they were splitting up. They're still on good terms, however.

* CarefulWithThatAxe: The "This is your brain on drugs" PSA though she used a frying pan instead of an axe to smash up a kitchen.
