We were the first to ask: Where has Nicole Richie been hiding? And now we know the answer.
She's in rehab!
According to a joint newsgathering operation by The National Enquirer and Star magazine, an emaciated Nicole Richie - weighing a deathly thin 83 lbs - is being treated for an eating disorder AND substance abuse!!!
On May 11th, the troubled Simple Life checked in to the Beau Monde Treatment Center in Corona Del Mar, California, to deal with anorexia and an addiction to pills, the magazines are reporting.
When she arrived at the clinic, the 5-foot-2 celebutard weighed a shocking 83 pounds and was in tears that she had once again lost control of her life, says an insider.
"Nicole's been a mess for months," said another source. "Her weight has plummeted."
Insiders say Nicole spent her first few days "detoxing" at the posh residential rehab, and then began treatment on an out-patient basis.
On the morning of May 19th, The National Enquirer and Star observed Nicole entering the Beau Monde rehab clinic with an overnight bag.
She pulled up in her Mercedes G Wagon at about 10 a.m
This is not surprising at all.
We wish Nicole well and hope she finally takes the necessary steps to get healthy.
