worn by Whitney Houston will be included at
a celebrity auction in Los Angeles in late
March, it was announced on Monday, a day
after the pop diva was laid to rest.
"In a rare twist of fate," several items from
her musical career and movie appearances
will be available, "as if the pop legend was
determined to keep her presence alive," said
celebrity auction house Julien's Auctions.
Included will be a black velvet dress with
metallic silver ribbon with an estimated
asking price of $1,000-$2,000 and faux pearl
drop earrings worn by Houston in the hit
1992 movie "The Bodyguard," expected to
fetch $600-$800.
"Other items include jewelry and costumes
from Houston's appearance in film and on
stage," the auction house said a written
statement.
Houston was found dead on February 11 in
her Los Angeles hotel room. A funeral
ceremony celebrating her life was held on
Saturday, the day before she was laid to rest
in a New Jersey cemetery next to her late
father.
Houston, who was just 48, sold more than
170 million records during a nearly three-
decade career, but she fought a long and
public battle against substance abuse while
trying to keep her performing talent alive.
Speculation has raged since her death that
the singer may have succumbed to a lethal
cocktail of prescription drugs and alcohol,
though official results from her autopsy may
not be made public for several weeks.
