After roles on "Dawson's Creek" and "Undeclared," in 2004 she took a lead in the Shawn and Marlon Wayans comedy, "White Chicks." In 2006 she starred in the UPN sitcom "Love, Inc.," from "Friends" showrunner Adam Chase. Next, she joined the cast of "ER" for one season as the devout Christian med-student, Hope Bobeck. Most recently, Philipps has been seen in standout roles in the films "Made of Honor" and "He's Just Not That Into You." While eight months pregnant with her first child in summer of 2008, she filmed a five\-episode arc on "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles."

Philipps was married to screenwriter Marc Silverstein ("Never Been Kissed," "He's Just Not That Into You") in June 2007 in a surprise ceremony. Friends and family were shocked when, thinking they'd been invited to a birthday party, Philipps showed up in a wedding dress and the couple married on the spot. They have one child, Birdie Leigh Silverstein, born August 13, 2008.
