Nicole Richie is telling friends that the reason she was on the painkiller Vicodin during her recent arrest was to treat menstruation cramps.
Richie, 25, was arrested early Monday morning for driving under the influence of marijuana and Vicodin, after she was seen driving the wrong way down a California highway.
Vicodin is an opiate and Richie’s involvement with the drug raises concern because she was once hooked on heroin, and former addicts who dabble in other drugs risk relapse. But pals of the Simple Life star insist that Richie has changed her ways since completing drug rehab in 2003.
“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.”
The embattled reality star spent Tuesday afternoon on the L.A. set of a music video for Good Charlotte with Joel Madden, 27, the band’s front man and Richie’s current flame. She is now resting at her West Hollywood condo.
Richie’s rep has no comment.

TMZ has learned that Nicole Richie was arrested for DUI early Monday morning. She was booked at 4:50 AM today and was released around 7:15 this morning. The booking sheet reveals Richie is 5′1″ and 85 lbs.
We’re told two motorists spotted her SUV going the wrong way on the 134 Freeway in Burbank. The drivers called 911.
When the CHP responded, Richie was stopped in the carpool lane and was alone in the vehicle. When cops approached the vehicle, Richie was on her cellphone.
Law enforcement officers tell TMZ Nicole Richie admitted she had taken Vicodin and smoked pot.
A preliminary alcohol screening device revealed that Nicole was not under the influence of alcohol.
This is not the first brush Richie has had with substance abuse. In 2003, she pled guilty to heroin possession. The charges were dismissed after she completed the terms of her probation.
The CHP just informed TMZ the department will not release Richie’s mugshot.
Her reps were not immediately available for comment.

Paris Hilton has put her feud with her The Simple Life co-star Nicole Richi firmly behind her, insisting they are “friends forever now”.
The childhood pals mysteriously fell out in January 2005 after a life-long friendship, but they made up after holding a reconciliation dinner in Los Angeles in October, and Hilton insists their reunion is permanent.
She gushes, “We’ve been friends for 23 years of our lives and when you’ve known someone that long she’s like a sister. I’m really happy to have her back in my life. I love her to death! We’re definitely friends forever now.” “She’s amazing. Nicole has a great personality, she’s beautiful and sweet, and she’s fun to hang out with. She’s hysterical - she can make me laugh so hard!”

It’s only been a month since Nicole Richie announced she was seeking treatment for her inability to gain weight, but friends are noticing a difference, PEOPLE reports in its upcoming issue.
“She has (put on) at least 5 lbs.,” says a source close to the actress. “She wants to prove she’s trying to change.”
The newly brunette Richie has even “distanced herself from a lot of (old) friends,” adds the source. Among those old friends is Rachel Zoe, 35, Richie’s stylist for the past three years, with whom Richie split last week
Richie, who before seeking treatment had dropped to around 90 lbs., hit the American Music Awards last week in a short vintage Christian Dior dress with the help of new style consultant Cristina Ehrlich looking “much healthier,” said an onlooker.
Now she’s ready to shoot the fifth installment of her reality show The Simple Life, which was postponed due to her treatment. Says her on-again pal and Simple Life costar Paris Hilton: “She looks better than she’s ever looked. I love it.”
So, it would seem, does Richie. “She’s doing great,” says a friend who spoke to her over Thanksgiving. “She’s taking care of herself and is in a good place.”
