Nicole Richie has fiercely denied rumours that she's has checked in to a rehabilitation clinic. The The Simple Life star insists that stories of further or recurring health problems are untrue. Star magazine reports that Richie has checked into the Beaumonde treatment centre in Los Angeles. Photos have also been released of the starlet looking worrryingly skeletal again. Richie has already gone through a treatment programme for an eating disorder, but now claims that her problems are behind her. She says she's been busy with her boyfriend, Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden. According to the source, Richie said, "I hadn't been photographed in a few weeks... It's really pathetic. Because I wasn't photographed, people were wondering where I was and then there was a story that I was in rehab. The truth was I was on tour with Joel and I was in random city after random city." Richie added, "I actually thought it was really funny how people were talking about it... Do I have a responsibility to get photographed every single day or else people wonder where I am? That's ridiculous." |
