Nicole Richie "might" have entered rehab for the second time in less than a year for an "eating disorder".

The National Enquirer and Star magazine are reporting that Richie re-entered rehab as an outpatient at Beau Monde on May 11 to fight anorexia and a painkiller addiction.

Richie’s rep is saying that the reports are false and that she is eating and also sober. She did go back to seeing her therapist though.

We’re hoping it’s true and she doesn’t end up in the tank like her frenenmy Paris Hitlon. Stay strong Nicole!
