Ringo cancels N.C. show
Ringo Starr has joined Bruce Springsteen in canceling a concert in North Carolina to protest a new state law that requires transgender individuals to use the bathroom of the gender on their birth certificates. The law also bans cities from punishing businesses that discriminate against customers based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Cyndi Lauper, Gregg Allman, Brandi Carlile, and Jimmy Buffett have spoken out against the law but will not cancel.

A judge Wednesday blocked a deal by a pair of nuns to sell an L.A. convent to a restaurateur, opening the way for Katy Perry to snap it up, the Los Angeles Times says. The L.A. Archdiocese supported Perry's suit because it had made a deal to sell the property to her for $14.5 mil. The nuns plan to appeal.
