Looking for an Atelier Versace tan chiffon evening dress, beaded bustier or a catsuit worn by Grammy-winning pop star Whitney Houston ? Or maybe an assortment of music awards won by her soon-to-be ex-husband Bobby Brown ?

Houston, celebrated pop artist of the 1980?s and ?90s, is being forced to sell off clothes, instruments and sound equipment to pay a debt to a warehouse storing the items. The sale, to be held at A.J. Willner Auctions on Jan. 9, has been ordered by the New Jersey Supe-rior Court. ?Whitney is selling off at auction old tour equipment that is no longer in use. Part of the proceeds will go to pay a debt owed to the storage company in keeping with court order,? Houston?s publicist, Nancy Seltzer, said in a statement. ?It is not unusual for an artist to sell off old equipment and costumes no longer needed,? she said, giving no details on how much Houston owes the warehouse.

More than 400 lots are listed for sale, including pianos, keyboards, organs, drums, hats, shoes and outfits from well-known names such as Giorgio Armani, Jean Paul Gaultier, Pamela Dennis, Gianni Versace and Dolce & Gabbana. Among the more intriguing items are ?Whitney?s Throne? chair, a designer Lucite cocktail stand and a church pew.

The daughter of gospel singer Cissy Houston and cousin of pop star Dionne Warwick, Houston shot to fame with her 1983 debut album and won several Grammy awards over the next decade. She also found success as an actress, appearing opposite Kevin Costner in ?The Bodyguard? .

In 2000, security guards in Hawaii found marijuana in her and her husband?s luggage. Two years later Houston admitted in an ABC interview that she had used drugs in the past. Twice subsequently she has entered treatment for drugs. Brown also has had run-ins with the law, including arrests for drug possession, assault and drunken driving.
