Katy Perry's House: Selling Off the Bits of a Pop Star's Broken Dreams

Katy Perry has become the unofficial pop culture icon of those members of the tween/junior high set, who have found themselves labeled "uncool", "dorky", or different in any way.  This means that her fan base is pretty massive.  However, her rise to pop stardom was anything but meteoric.  She began her vocal career singing at church, and then branched out into gospel music.  Forbidden to listen to pop/rock music, when she was finally able to secure meetings with record executives, she had no idea who to name as influences or artists that she wished to emulate.  She was dropped from two different labels, before finally finding a home at Virgin Records.  Her first studio album, "One of the Boys", garnered her three Top-Ten hits, and a successful tour.  Her second album, "Teenage Dream", released two years later, spawned five Top-Ten hits, tying with Michael Jackson's previous record, and led to a massively successful world tour, multiple Grammy nominations, and a 3-D feature documentary.  Along the way, she married British comedian Russell Brand, and they purchased a few properties.  Unfortunately, the marriage succumbed to the pressures of both of their careers, and after filing for divorce, they put their New York home on the market.  This July, it sold for $2.6 million.
