Good Charlotte star Joel Madden has said he ‘feels great already’ after giving up smoking one week ago.

The 30-year-old admitted that he has given up smoking and is already feeling the benefits seven days on.

Joel recently became a dad for the second time when his girlfriend Nicole Richie, 28, gave birth to their son Sparrow in September.

He said on Twitter: “Yes I quit smoking. Finally. so far so good. Cold turkey the only way to go.”

Joel later added: “Yes thank you for all the well wishes. Almost a week with not a single smoke. I’m feeling good about being a quitter. I only smoked for about 4 years.

“I had to quit. I feel great already. If you smoke you should try taking a week off. your lungs will thank u.”

New Moon star Kellan Lutz has denied that he ever had a relationship with actress AnnaLynne McCord.

Lutz, 24, who plays Emmett Cullen in the hit vampire series, was rumoured to be dating 90210 star McCord, 22, and there were reports that they split in October.

However speaking on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM show, Lutz said: “Oh. No. Never have been. I’ve known her for six years, and we met again on the set [of 90210], but we shot Abercrombie [catalogs] way back in the day.”

He added that ’she’s single, and I’m very much single’.

Talking about his love life, he said: “I don’t really think about who I want to date. I kind of fall into situations, and then I’m like: ‘Oh, I’m dating you now’.”
