An archbishop, a group of nuns, a hotelier, and Katy Perry walk into a convent—what sounds like the start to a pretty mediocre joke is actually an all too real lawsuit between the Bad Blood celebrity, nightlife maven Dana Hollister, and two rivaling groups of nuns, The Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The whole hullabaloo started this past July when the archdiocese originally intended to sell a Los Feliz convent to Hollister, but later changed their minds with the hope to sell it to Perry. To figure out which buyer deserves the convent most, the dispute has turned over to a higher power: the LA County Superior Court judge. The decision as to whether or not Perry will win the LA convent or not will be decided in a court hearing in October 2015.

This rather tacky Hollywood Hills party pad is on the market for $29,500/month, owned by none other than Justin Bieber.
