Sir Elton John wants to set Katy Perry up with a new man at his Oscars party today.

The 'Rocket Man' singer is hosting his annual post Academy Awards bash and is setting up a special singles table, where the likes of Katy - who split from husband Russell Brand in December - can cast their eyes over any eligible hunks.

Heidi Klum - who split from husband Seal in January - and Kim Kardashian - whose marriage ended in October - are also set to be on the table.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''Elton wants this year's party to go with a swing, and be more fun and raucous than in previous years. It was his idea to invite some of the highest profile, newly-single female celebs in town.

''He thinks it's a great way to put a smile back on their faces - and hopefully land them new men. He got in touch last month to personally offer Heidi and Katy his support, and invite them to his bash.

''Kim Kardashian also reckons she is ready to start dating again, so it could be a lively evening.''

And Elton and his film producer husband David Furnish already have a few men in mind.

The source added: ''They will be given fantastic tables, right beside Elton and his husband David. And they have been told there will be scores of hot, eligible - and straight - young men there.

''David has one or two director pals who are very interested and Elton is keen to fix them up.''
