The blogs are abuzz with rumors of a fresh-out-of-rehab Nicole Richie "collapsing", at Hyde Saturday night, but we got this text message from the source of a source (yes, this is a sarcastic reference to ours and everyone else's "inside sources"):

"Ok, so I did a little bit of research and spoke to a reliable source who was at Hyde on Sat. night when Nicole was in there and [people] definitely streched the truth a bit. She didn't 'collapse' - that implies that she had some sort of medical issue or something. My source says that she simply had too much to drink and passed out on the couch. There wasn't any ambulance or any hospital run. She used two of them as crutches to help walk/carry her out the back door. I can't understand - what she's doing there to begin with when she's supposed to be in rehab?"

Here's a pre-rehab (if there every really was a rehab) Nicole looking pretty exhausted as she left Hyde a little over two weeks ago - if she didn't "collapse" then, why might she have done so on Saturday night?
