Katy Perry Triumphs Over Nuns in Legal Battle to Buy L.A. Convent

In today's weird pop news, Katy Perry has scored a victory in her legal battle with a group of nuns. Back in September, the Prism singer put up a $14.5 million bid to transform a former convent in Los Angeles into a family home. But the sisters who lived in the Los Feliz property didn't want to give it up to Perry, preferring to sell it to entrepreneur Dana Hollister, who wanted to turn it into a hotel. 

Are you following along here? So in comes Archbishop Jose H. Gomez, who decides to sell the convent to the singer, as the Catholic Church actually owns it, not the nuns.
