She was also seen in Stuff, Interview, Playboy, People, Detour, Nylon, Paper, 944 and Missbehave magazines. She appeared in the Stuff magazine's 2006-2007 pin up calendar as the January 2007 entry.

In 1997 she signed a contract with Almo Sounds and released her first album called "I'd Rather Eat Glass" after two years. She did a music video of the song "When I Hated Him (Don't T ell Me)". Her acting career started in 1999 when she received her first role in "Sugar Town". Besides this, she appeared in "Black and White", "Almost Famous", "Bully", "Octane", "The Door in the Floor", "Pancho's Pizza", "Havoc" and "Venom".

Being so beautiful has helped her a lot but this isn't her only quality. She is a smart girl and also an ambitious one. Nicky and Paris Hilton are two of her friends and along Tara Reid, Kimberly Stewart, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie, Bijou is one of Hollywood's party girls.

Quotes :

- "Music is real; it's something you can touch and feel. It moves you - the bass literally shakes you and rocks you from the inside. Music makes your soul feel amazing while you're performing it. It's not air, it's not wind, it's not anything like that. It's solid. It's thick. It's like summertime in New York."

- "I never had innocence."

- "It was like, I wanted to go swimming in the ocean, but I was jumping up and down in a puddle."

- "Bijou Phillips- you never knew what the f**k she would say or do next. There is no line between her unconscious and her articulation of it and her behavior. She is a genuine psychopath. I say that with affection and admiration, because she's also incredibly smart and talented, so she knows how to amuse and how to get and hold attention. If she were just a psychopath, you wouldn't want to use her; you'd just be bored. But she is always amusing and interesting, and if one thing isn't working she has a good sense of it, and she just starts on something else."
