Celeb News: Katy buys $14.5M convent

At least two of the last five living sisters of the Immaculate Heart insist the property is theirs, and only they can sell it. So they did, for roughly $15.5 million, quickly signing the property over two weeks ago to local restaurateur Dana Hollister, before the archdiocese could complete its deal with Katy Perry.

Hollister, who has already moved in, told me she might or might not try to turn the property into a boutique hotel, as rumors have it — but that would require zoning changes, and residents of the quiet neighborhood are already rallying against it. The archdiocese is completing the paperwork on the sale to Perry, who has agreed to pay about $14.5 million, all of it in cash. The mega-rich hit-producing singer reportedly got interested in the property three years ago and has been determined to make it her home.

Perry seems to have given her all in going after the property, and tried to make a good impression on the nuns at a recent meeting. I'm told that Perry dressed rather conservatively, and according to two of the sisters, she sang "Oh Happy Day" for them and showed them a "Jesus" tattoo on her wrist area.

They don't mean paper. They mean straight out bought. No loans or anything. Like a wire transfer.

Where are you going to put that kind of money? Local banks don't hold a 1/50th of that and look at the security they use

No...

The diocese, meanwhile, says sorry, sisters, but only Gomez can sell the property, and Perry is his choice, so Hollister better not hang any paintings just yet.

the place was Hollister first but looks like the nuns had no right to sell it

the archdiocese is trying to sell this to Katy saying that they are the only ones who have the right to do it

that's the fight decide who has the right to sell this place and get the money

I have read the article, same as you.

The Nuns are legally disputing the Archbishop's right to sell the property. They already sold the property to Hollister, who has moved in already. The Archbishop tried to sell it to Katy for a lower price.

The Archbishop's lawyer has argued that his client has the right to sell the property. The nun's lawyer disputes this and claims his clients were coerced.

The ownership issue is currently in legal dispute. It's a complete mess. There is a difference of $1 million in the prices being offered, hardly marginal.
