NEWARK, N.J. - Whitney Houston's New Jersey mansion is slated to be sold at a sheriff's sale because she is more than $1 million behind on the mortgage and taxes have not been paid this year, according to reports published Wednesday.

The Jan. 4 sale was scheduled Tuesday by the Morris County Sheriff's Office, the Daily Record of Parsippany reported. The service agent for Chevy Chase Bank, the mortgage holder, sued Houston in June.

Houston's estate comprises two lots, and the sale would be of the lot assessed at $889,300. The adjacent lot is valued at more than $5.6 million, the Daily Record reported. Houston, 43, bought the properties in 1987 for $2.7 million.

Through a secretary, Houston publicist Nancy Seltzer told the newspaper the property was not in foreclosure. A woman who answered the telephone at Seltzer's office on Wednesday said Seltzer was traveling and could not be reached for comment.

Phone messages left after business hours with the service agent, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., and the sheriff's office were not returned Wednesday.

Mendham Township is owed about $83,000 in property taxes this year on the 10-acre estate, officials told The Star-Ledger of Newark. The township sent notices after each quarterly deadline was missed, the assessor's office said. The most recent payment was due Nov. 1.

A sale could be averted if Houston reaches a settlement with the service agent, Sheriff's Sgt. Steve Ackerman told The Star-Ledger.

Houston in September filed for divorce from singer Bobby Brown after a 14-year marriage. She is collaborating on a project with her cousin, singer Dionne Warwick.

Surprise surprise...well, maybe not. I'm actually surprised it didn't happen SOONER to be honest. She's gotta be low on funds don't you think?

How can someone blow that much money? In the truest sense of the word...

[louiswinthorpe111]

If Fed-Ex got as many years as Bobby got, he would have went through all the money. It's easy to spend.

But Bobby actually had a real career as a real recording artist. No matter how you classify it, K-Fed has no career.

I would never want to buy that house, think about all the things that went down in that million dollar crack den. Plus, I'm poor so, you know...

[cynic]

Not to mention the shape of the plumbing after they've lived there......

[GoldDust77]

So sad--well, not really sad, more like pathetic--that Whitney blew through a multimillion dollar fortune....Threw it all away on drugs & now has nothing to show for it but a life in shambles.

^^ Yeah imagine all the "dookie bubbles" (is that the disgusting term that those two crackheads used to describe constipated turds, on their stupid reality show?) that Bobby dug out of Whitney's ass using his finger, that are now plugging up the plumbing. Ewwww....

Estranged couple Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's Atlanta, Georgia mansion has been seized and sold. The singer filed for divorce from the R&B pioneer last month after 14 years of marriage. Georgia newspaper Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the couple's five-bedroom home was foreclosed by local authorities after the couple failed to keep up with their mortgage payments. The $1.4 million house was sold on the steps of the Fulton County Courthouse on November 7. Last week, Houston denied reports her New Jersey home faces the same problem. Mortgage holder, Chevy Chase Bank have filed suit to foreclose on the house, claiming the singer owes them $1 million in mortgage payments and taxes on the building.

I really like her voice..and hated her marriage..Now she lost her house.
All because of the darn association with Brown -some say the divorce was a sham and they aren't , really, separated. I hope , for her own good, that she did divorce him.
