The BBC reports that Nicole Richie has checked herself in to a treatment centre. It is probably to help deal with her anorexia. The filming for The Simple Life, in which she stars with Paris Hilton, has been postponed. She has gotten extremely skinny and frail. But her publicist says she is not there because she is anorexic, but rather because she needs to focus on nutrition. He says this is not about treatment for an eating disorder.
Regardless of any public statments, for Nicole Richie to do this of her own volition, it seems like a very good sign for her future good health.
