Is Whitney Having A Garage Sale????

Actually, she's auctioning off some of her goods to the highest bidder.


Whitney Houston is set to auction off hundreds of famous stage outfits andaccessories.The singer - who recently filed for divorce from Bobby Brown - is sellingbras, bustiers, bodysuits and evening dresses from her past tours.

Among the 400 items up for grabs are 13 Dolce and Gabbana sequinned bustierbras, a chair described as 'Whitney's Throne', and a see-through grand pianoworth an estimated $400,000.

The pop diva is also selling off musical instruments and props used in hershows, including drums, a slot machine and a leather whip.Houston isn't just auctioning her own possessions - 16 of her estrangedhusband's music awards are also available to buy.

Houston's publicist said: "The auction consists of old equipment from past tours that she doesn't need anymore. It's not unusual for artists to selloff staging and equipment not in use anymore."

However, it has been reported by the New York Daily News newspaper that a New Jersey company - that store Houston's concert items - is auctioning the goods because she stopped paying storage bills in 2005. Jeffrey Campisi, attorney for Speed of Sound, claims Houston's company NippyInc. owes his client an estimated $200,000 in unpaid storage.

This isn't the first time Houston has suffered financial difficultiesrecently.Houston came close to losing her $6 million New Jersey 10-acre estate lastyear after owing thousands of dollars in back taxes.She avoided foreclosure on the property by paying off the debt last week.

The auction will be held in New Jersey on Tuesday (01.09.07).


ANGELINA JOLIE has been immortalised as the Virgin Mary in a shocking new painting.





The actress is portrayed as the mother of God while her adopted children MADDOX and ZAHARA and daughter SHILOH are her cherubs.

The picture aims to confront issues regarding celebrity worship. The title, Blessed Art Thou, is taken from a line in the Catholic prayer Hail Mary. The artist, KATE KRETZ, says Angelina was chosen as the subject because of her unavoidable presence in the media, the world-wide anticipation of her child, her "unattainable" beauty and the good that she is doing in the world.
