Here's the Scoop....

Katy Perry refused to hide her blossoming romance with rocker Robert Ackroyd in front of revelers at Coachella over the weekend.

The "I Kissed a Girl" star sparked rumors she's dating the Florence and the Machine guitarist after they were spotted holding hands over the festival's first weekend.

But the singer now appears to be happy for the world to know of her new relationship - she was snapped kissing and embracing the musician while they watched live acts during a second trip to the music event on Sunday.

They struggled to keep their hands off each other as they blended in with the crowd, smiling and laughing as they downed beers and smoked cigarettes.

The relationship is the second fling Katy is thought to have enjoyed following her split from husband Russell Brand last year - she was linked to French model Baptiste Giabiconi during Paris Fashion Week in early 2012.

Now, let's get to the rest of the nooz...

Gaga show sparks protests in South Korea...

Lady Gaga is facing a wave of protest from conservative campaigners in South Korea ahead of her upcoming concert in the country.

The pop superstar is due to kick off her Born This Way Ball tour in Seoul on Friday and officials there recently banned under-18's from attending the show after deeming it unsuitable for younger audiences.

A Christian group called the Alliance for Sound Culture In Sexuality held a mass prayer meeting in Seoul on Sunday to rally against the singer, while members have also placed posters around the city accusing Gaga of "spreading unhealthy sexual culture" through "lewd lyrics and performances", according to the AFP.

The banners were subsequently removed by city officials.

Kang Ju-Hyun, the activist who organized the prayer protest, says, "We will pray to God that the concert will not be realized so that homosexuality and pornography will not spread around the country."

He also revealed his group will hold protests outside the headquarters of Hyundai Card, the concert organizer, in the run up to the gig.

Gaga arrived in the country on Friday and has been updating her Twitter followers on her tour preparations, posting pictures of herself standing in Seoul's Olympic Stadium, where she is due to play, and writing, "I will perform the tour of your life if it f**king kills me..."

After performing in South Korea, the singer will take her tour across Asia to countries including Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines, before heading to Europe.

TV star Giuliana Rancic to be a mom...

TV presenter Giuliana Rancic is set to become a mom after announcing she is using a surrogate to carry her child.

The "E! News" host was left devastated after fertility issues meant she struggled to go full-term with a pregnancy, and she miscarried a child in 2010.

Her battle to become a mom was hit with another setback last year when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which she beat after undergoing a successful double mastectomy.

But the star was ecstatic during an appearance on the "Today" show on Monday when she announced she and husband Bill will welcome a child via a surrogate.

She added to E! News, "We are so thrilled that our prayers have been answered. We are absolutely ecstatic to be sharing this with everyone who has been following our journey."

The pair will be the tot's genetic parents.

Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford marry in country ceremony...

Carey Mulligan married folk rocker Marcus Mumford in a countryside ceremony in England on Saturday in front of guests including Colin Firth, Jake Gyllenhaal and Sienna Miller.

The "An Education" actress exchanged vows with the Mumford & Sons star in a converted barn in Somerset, England and the groom's father John, who is a vicar, presided over the service, according to Britain's Mail on Sunday.

The venue was decorated with hay bales and Mulligan wore a full-length, backless ivory dress, while eight bridesmaids turned out in turquoise.

Guests included Hollywood stars such as Firth, Gyllenhaal and Miller, as well as Mumford's bandmates, who played at the reception in a marquee attached to a cowshed. Celebrity snapper Rankin was the official wedding photographer.

A source reveals, "Carey and Marcus wanted a low-key, rustic wedding. They thought their friend's farm would make a wonderful venue because it's so private." The newly-weds began dating last year.

LMFAO sued by former managers...

Pop duo LMFAO are facing a $7 million lawsuit filed by their former managers.

The stars, uncle and nephew Stefan "Redfoo'" Gordy and Skyler "SkyBlu" Gordy, have been sued by bosses at personal management company RPM GRP, who claim the band signed a deal with them in 2008 but later ditched the contract and hired two of the firm's former employees to manage them instead.

The lawsuit, filed at Santa Monica Superior Court in California, accuses the duo of breach of contract, tortious interference and accounting.

The papers state, "LMFAO has thanked the managers who took them from '0 to 60 by throwing them under the tour bus (i.e. firing them). Instead of hiring new managers, LMFAO then poached two employees of the original managers, hiring them on a salary instead of paying a commission to the original managers."

Redfoo was served the legal papers in Los Angeles this week as he was on his way to the set of TV show "American Idol," and he even posed for a picture with the woman who handed over the documents.
