MADDEN DATING RICHIE?

GOOD CHARLOTTE rocker JOEL MADDEN has jumped back into the dating game after his split with HILARY DUFF - he is reportedly romancing NICOLE RICHIE. The LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH + FAMOUS singer and Richie were spotted out at Hollywood hot spot Teddy's at the Roosevelt Hotel on 2 December (06), less than a week after Madden confirmed the split. According to American publication Us Weekly, Richie, 25, and Madden, 27, were spotted holding hands and dancing, with one clubgoer adding, "Nicole couldn't stop smiling. I've never seen her happier." The following night (03DEC06), the new couple hit the town again, joining Madden's twin brother BENJI and his Australian girlfriend SOPHIE MONK for an intimate dinner at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills. Madden, 27, and Duff, 19, announced they had split late last month (NOV06) and blamed the break-up on their age difference.
