Gossip & Rumors
Is Nicole Back in Rehab for Diet and Drugs?

Nicole RichieReports are swirling that tabloid princess Nicole Richie is back -- yet again -- in rehab and more "helpless" than ever, but TMZ is told that it just ain't so. In fact, as we write, Nicole's sitting at home in Glendale, and doing just fine.

The National Enquirer and Star magazine are jointly reporting that Nicole re-entered rehab at Beau Monde on May 11 to fight anorexia and a painkiller addiction, on an outpatient basis, and that she did so "in tears," lamenting the fact that she's "lost control of her life." What's more, report the tabs' sources, she went back in just a few days ago, on the 19th.

But Richie's rep tells TMZ a totally different story, namely that she isn't -- and wasn't -- in rehab, and that she's "in Glendale at her house" (and, we presume, eating). We're told that she did go back to see her therapist, and that her recovery is "an ongoing process," but that she's "completely sober."

23. It is a sad shame that the young women ( nicole, paris, britney, lindsey) in the 'entertainment' industry are addicts, drinking/drugs, then they go out and party & party hard & then get behind the wheel of a vehicle.
They are all pathetic skanks & have no respect for themselves or others.

27. Why don't these whores like Nicole and Paris and Britney just overdose and die. I mean this sincerely. They are vapid human beings. They contribute nothing to our world. They just suck the air out of it. Please Nicole OD for humanity.

29. Ummm, the whole reason she is doing this PUBLICITY STUNT is because she is trying to beat any jail time for her SECOND DUI. C'mon folks, wisen up over here. She JUST NOW realizes she has a problem after all these years? Uh no - she's still stuck up bratty trash, she just doesn't want to get locked up like her "good buddy" Paris. What a punk!
