I Pissed Off A Nun - Katy Perry's Convent [View all]

Ya just can't make this stuff up...I think these are the basic facts:

1. Katy Perry wants to buy a beautiful old Los Angeles mansion, which has been used as a convent for several decades. A former owner GAVE the place to the nuns, in exchange for them praying for his soul after his death.

2. The Archbishop of Los Angeles wanted to sell the place to Perry, for a cool $14.5 million. So far, all is good. A straight real estate deal.

3. BUT...a few elderly nuns still live in the convent and consider their order the legal owners. Unfortunately, the Jurassic Nuns saw some of Perry's videos and were NOT amused.

4. Without asking the archdiocese or anybody else, the nuns went and sold the convent to a woman named Dana Hollister. She plans to turn it into a boutique hotel.

5. Because the sale has been duly registered and a deed transferred by L.A. County, everyone is now in the middle of a giant legal clusterfuck. A county judge has frozen the sale to Hollister, with a warning that Perry won't be moving into the place any time soon. Not until the legal ownership is sorted out, which could take years.
