Whitney Houston to auction off her unmentionables

In the NY Post's Page Six Column, Richard Johnson revealed that pop diva Whitney Houston plans to auction off her collection of stage costumes, including numerous pieces of lingerie. The auction will take place in Irvington, N.J. next week.

Among the gems up for grabs will be 13 Dolce & Gabbana monogrammed bustier bras, six pairs of black stretch pants (BARF!) and an array of sequined evening dresses. Between Houston's fans and the growing pool of Whitney impersonators, the auction will likely create a bidding frenzy.

Houston hopes the auction will yield hundreds of thousands of dollars, which would be a much-needed contribution to her war-chest following last year's near loss of her $6 million home due to unpaid back taxes.

The thought of Whitney Houston auctioning off her undies surely makes me giggle, but I must also ask myself ... Would I ever really want to own one of Whitney's used brassieres?

To put it in Whitney's own words: HELL TO THE NO!

Hope she at least washes them. Absolutely pathetic, though even more pathetic is the way this country takes all these freaks like this drug addict, K-Fed, O.J., Howard Stern and all the other losers out there setting bad examples for our kids and make them wealthy by continuously putting them in the public spotlight. Why don't we just say NO and let them go and crawl back under the rock they came out of. The world would be better off without them.

Hey....maybe she could sell her $6 million dollar home and downsize to maybe say a $3 million model and she could pocket $3 million in cash. Sometimes we all have to make sacrifices.......

How pathetic that someone, with some much talent, has thrown it
away and is so far in the gutter that she has to resort to selling
used underwear. Who would be do desparate to want to buy it.
Is it not too late for her to clean up her act & for her to show the
world and her "daughter " that she is the decent and talented
person we once knew!!
