Rumours are swirling that Nicole Richie has checked into a rehab center this week.
Of course they are originating from unreliable sources - the National Enquirer and Star magazine - both report that Nicole is being treated for anorexia and a nasty addiction to pills.
The mags claim that the an 83 pound Nicole checked into the Beau Monde Treatment Center in Corona Del Mar, California on May 11. Enquirer and Star say that after several days of detox, Richie started out-patient treatment. She was reportedly seen arriving at the clinic on the morning of May 19. Nicole's rep denies everything.
Last year in an interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole talked about her weight issues, stating that she was consulting a nutritionist and physician. "I was scared that it could be something more serious," she told the magazine.
In October 2006, Nicole underwent diagnostic treatment to, according to her representative, "determine why she's not putting on any weight."
Her rep added, "It is important to Nicole that she achieves this goal in a healthy way as this is not a treatment for an eating disorder."
Her rep added, "It is important to Nicole that she achieves this goal in a healthy way as this is not a treatment for an eating disorder."
In March, Nicole was hospitalized for dehydration and hypoglycemia. Later that month she told OK! magazine that she resents allegations that she has an eating disorder.
"That really bothers me because there are people who truly have eating disorders and it is a serious disease," she said. "To put that title on someone when it is not true is disrespectful. I've repeatedly said, 'No, I don't have an eating disorder,' and it has fallen on deaf ears."
