Richie in "denial" about her health

Nicole Richie took some time out from her "treatment" sessions to nurse herself with some retail therapy. The Simple Life star reportedly checked herself out of the Beau Monde - an $80,000-a-month treatement center in Newport Beach - explaining to staff that she needed to go shopping. Richie's workers begged her to stay, according to Star mag, saying, "Nicole is in complete denial and oblivious to how sick she really is."
