ABC's 'American Idol' premiere soured by Perry, Seacrest scandals

ABC may be hoping that a rebooted “American Idol” turns into ratings gold, but the debut in prime time Sunday comes as the network tries to deal with a series of embarrassments surrounding the show.

After a 15-year run on Fox, the groundbreaking singing contest is returning following a two-year hiatus on a new network shadowed by Idol judge Katy Perry’s ongoing battle over property that has pitted the “Roar” pop star against a group of nuns.

On Friday, an 89-year-old nun involved in the lawsuit, Sister Catherine Rose Holzman, collapsed in a courtroom and died just hours after a heartfelt appeal to Perry, asking that the singer “please stop” the path of destruction the sisters say Perry has created in trying to purchase the $14.5 million 8-acre hilltop estate in Los Angeles' Los Feliz neighborhood, where the religious community lived until 2011, when they were evicted by the archdiocese.
