Whitney Houston's family has sold footage of her star-studded funeral to media outlets across the world to raise funds for the tragic singer's daughter. Also: Pieces of Whitney Houston's clothing have already been announced as going up for auction barely two days after the singer's funeral. Items that will apparently go under the hammer at an auction running between March 31st and April 1st include the singer's floor-length black dress, a vest she wore in the film 'Bodyguard' and a pair of faux-pearl earrings. And: Whitney Houston fans were turned away from the late superstar's final resting place in New Jersey after cemetery officials became concerned about the large crowds.
