When Nicole got arrested this week she admitted to taking Vicodin before getting behind the wheel. Now she's revealing that the reason she was popping pills was because she gets really bad cramps. So is this the reason she was smoking pot too? She's also upset that the world now thinks she weighs 85 pounds. US Weekly reports:
"She knows she made a mistake, but overall she's in a better place," says a close friend of Richie. "She has come a long way from her heroin days."
The celebutante is said to be upset over media reports that she's addicted to pills, and is insisting to friends that she only "occasionally" takes Vicodin once a month at the start of her menstruation cycle.
Richie is also unhappy that California cops listed her weight at 85 pounds on the police report because "she's so proud of her weight gain," says the source, who adds that Richie has gained about ten pounds in the last two months and actually weighs around 95 pounds. "She doesn't know where the cops came up with 85 pounds and it's annoying to her."
Joel Madden, you know, Hilary Duff's ex has moved on quickly with Nicole. Page Six reports that he has even become her "emergency contact person" in their relationship. Not so sure Nicole should be jumping into a relationship right now especially a serious one. Let's just hope she gets healthy again.

I drink, smoke and do drugs because my Mommie never loved me! Forget Vicodin for cramps the chick is on CRACK
1at 85 (or 95) pounds, would she even HAVE a menstural cycle?
2RCL....LMFAO!
3She's lucky she didn't kill someone.
What sucks is that if you or I had done this- our tushies would be heading to prison. I bet she just gets community service b/c she has a celebrity status.
4Yeah, she would still have her period.
5RCL, thats what I was going to say! HAHA!
6I wish I could believe her, but sadly, I can't.
7She told them the truth. A lot people would have lied. I still
8like Nicole.

Brad is so hot!
Does Joel have a thing for anorexic looking chicks, cos Hilary had her weight loss thing when she was with him and now Nicole, can't he handle a real woman?
9I am so sick that this girl is famous fr being anorexic. She is a disgrace to women and the fact that she could have killed me or my children ENRAGES ME!!! I am sick of these SKANKS getting free passes to do what they want. Kill yourself fine you dumbA$$.. if that is your road.. STFU amd take it, but the day you put my life or my fellow popples life in danger in CA.. I AM PI$$ED off. Where is the three strick rule with these people. Sheis on her third strick she should behind BARS!!!
10I really want to like Nicole again, but I swear everytime I try to, she goes out & does something STUPID.
she needs to get a grip before she kills someone or herself
11Her biggest concern is the cops alledgely got her weight wrong????? I don't know anyone with a prescription for Vicodin for menstrual cramps. What bothers me most is these brats seem to be immune to any form of punishment or consequence.
12the fact that she lives in LA , and should be farmiliar with the streets, just goes to show she was in NO condition to drive. Seriously, she is so LUCKY a car was not exiting the ramp while she was coming from the wrong way. She would of probably killed herself and others as well.
Honey, if you do not want people talking about you, STOP TRYING SO HARD TO BE FAMOUS!!!!!! I can not stand how these media wh res complain about being talked about. She does not even have any other career besides the tabloids. There are plenty of people WITH careers that do not go to Hyde and the Ivy everyday, so we do not constantly have to see them in evety magazine or website.
13Lied? They would have tested her.. you don't drive the wrong way sober!! Oh .. I meant three strike.. I am a little PO if you can't tell. LOL
14I am totally over her, but I think I am one of the only people that has never liked her. I think she is a fake biatch.
15She looks ROUGH in that pic. damn girl, check yourself b/f you check yourself.
16Wasn't she addicted to Heroin at one point and went to rehab? Vicodin is an opiate like Heroin and that's the very last drug a recovering opiate addict needs to be taking.
She's had her 3 strikes, lock her down before she kills some innocent person.
17Right on Velvet!!! Three strikes.. SHE IS OUT!!!!!!!
18those must be some pretty strong cramps if she needs vicodin AND weed, damn
19Those must be some serious cramps!! Where is this doctor who prescribes vicodin for cramps?? I must find him!
I kid. I kid. ...anyone know?
20i'll say. a little weed can definitely help with cramps (i would never, EVER think about driving afterwards though) but vicodin should be saved for post surgery type stuff. i'm surprised she could walk at all.
21If she weighs 95lbs then i would hate to be weighed on that machine...it ADDS pounds!
22Where did the cops get 85 pounds? Um, from the normal scale at the station, not the one you have at home that's all tricked out so that it will tell you that you weigh ten more pounds than you actually do. I'm with ohsuri all the way, they can kill themselves if they want but taking other people's lives in their own hands is out of control.
23Who cares why she took the vicodin and the weed? That doesn't explain why the hell she was DRIVING while under the influence! She is really lucky that she didn't kill somebody.
24wtf, why is she getting off so easily? my cousin was driving a little over the speed limit, and he was on some medication, and his liscense got taken away for a year and a half.
she was basicly high.
25Mar she wasnt even in LA or at least the main part of LA that she should be in. She was in burbank near the NBC studio which is a questionable area for her to be in at that hr of night...
26Lionel is in Toronto tonight for a program on the CBC called the Hour, might have to pop down to watch!
27Vicodin for cramps? Seriously, it's called Midol/Advil you addict... the only thing worse than a person with such distructive behavior is a person that refuses to admit it... grow up, Nicole!
28I agree. No one takes Vicodin for cramps
29toxxic-maybe she was trying to cap lol
30I seriously doubt she still menstruates at that weight.
31I think her friends or family should help her if her behavior is so out of control that she is putting her life and others in danger. Something not very good is usually happening in people's lives who devaules their own.
32just to be devil's advocate-just b/c she admitted that she took vicodin doesn't maen that she is an addict.
33Like I said before why the bloody hell didn't she HIRE A DRIVER!?!?!?

This is so wrong. She should not haveb been driving. However I know I'm going to get in trouble for saying this but I understand taking Vicodent during the first days of your period. My dear friend takes them because she gets Violent cramps and her doctor prescribed them. However he only gives her a small dose. That still doesn't excuse her behavior.
34I take vicodin for my cramps, that doesn't make me an addict. I have tried midol and advil and all the other over the counter pain meds. My doctor decided to give me vicodin... Please be informed. I don't agree that she was driving but the fact is that vicodin is used as a way to help with severe cramps.
And unless she started smoking pot yesterday, i believe that you could drive after you smoke... but that's just my view.
I don't think pot should be up there with the heavy drugs.
35I have endometriosis, and so I have to take my birth control pill every single day (instead of taking a week off to have a period like normal). If I even take my pill a few hours later than normal, I have the WORST cramps ever. I have taken Vicodin and Lortab for them. Hydrodone is the ONLY thing that helps them. I cannot, however, explain the marijuana. Never done it. Who knows... maybe it does help.
36Unfreakingbelievable. She's high and driving but it's ok because she's a celebrity on her period? I don't think so. The police report said she failed field sobriety tests and cramps don't have anything to do with that so she can take her lame excuses and shove them right up her ass.
37marijuana does help with cramps, but i would never, ever drive under the influence of it. i took vicodin after sugery once, and i was so out of it i could barely walk. i don't care what people do recreationally, but endangering others is not cool. i heard she on the way to her new b/f's (joel madden)house. high or not, someone was determined to get some booty! lol
38Ive been off that exit and from what I remember its def not the type of area Joel would live in or her or any of her friends.. maybe her dealer.
39Maybe she will get a suspended license. It would be good for her. Might even save her life.
40Maybe she will get a suspended license. It would be good for her. Might even save her life.
41She would not have periods at this weight. She is anorexic and she did not gain 10 pounds. That's what's called lying. Anorexics lie. So do Junkies. The fact that she's more worried about the media thinking her weight is 95 pounds just proves she has an eating disorder. Mel Gibson didn't throw down about his weight when he got arrested. Only a person with an eating disorder would make issue of it. DUH.
The drugs.. vicodin is not for cramps unless you're visiting Dr. Feelgood. Her cramps excuse is pretty creative, normally it's for 'back pain'. Just like only stars get hospitalized for "Exhaustion."
42I take pain killers (prescription ones) for things like that, because I'm allergic to motrin and advil and all that normal good stuff, but my doctor prescribes a dose that's like, 1/4 of what the normal dose is, and I would never drive when I take it, but they don't affect you enough to drive the wrong way on the highway. That girl was on something stronger!
43Ok... i am not a big fan of Joel, or Hilary, but how can a nice guy like Joel go from dating wholesome healthy girl like hilary to crack-pot, malnourished Nicole????? wrong wrong wrong!!!
44It's a serious offence she could have caused a major accident, so she shd have her license taken away forever, and put in jail for thr drugs and self-denial, maybe the prison food would fatten her up. *sorry to be so nasty, but she is really deluded*
45agreed. I think it should be a mandatory lose your license when you're caught driving under the influence. no ifs ands or buts. People like this are why I take the train and don't drive.
46I can't believe out of all this crap, she is upset about her weightr.
This girl needs to rot in jail, but we all know it will never happen.
Irresponsible, spoiled b*tch.
.....and i used to like her.
47NOT A LAME EXCUSE!
some girls get really sick EVERY period. i know this because i am one of them who always misses work/school/social stuff because i am barfing and/or passing out from the pain and can't get out of bed for 2 days.
regulars meds [ex: "advil" *rolls eyes* ]do NOTHING for girls with bad cramps. if you have bad cramps/ endometriosis you know believe me.
[it is not uncommon to have to take morphine shots, vicodin etc...for BAD CRAMPS]
48BTW: You can still hve periods when you are really skinny....i still have my nightmare and i am thin
49I don't think anyone said really skinny girls don't get periods. But Nicole is 85 pounds....that is beyond really skinny.
