The home going service of singer Whitney Houston turned out to be a big money maker for the singer's estate. Saturday's funeral service was streamed to media outlets, and of course, the posts had to taken down immediately. The family offered a service fee, and through a spokesperson stated that the proceeds were for the benefit of Bobbi Kristina. The singer's ex-husband Bobby Brown took the high road after arriving with his three children and being moved several times by security. Brown was not given an opportunity to see daughter Bobbi Kristina, blew a kiss to his ex-wife's casket and then left without causing a scene. He performed later that evening with the rest of the group New Edition, where he showed Whitney love. Houston's family has denied rumors that Bobbi Kristina was found in a hotel room using cocaine after her mother's funeral. Family and friends searched frantically for the teenager before finding her. The family stated she needed some time alone. Meanwhile, several of Houston's belongings will be put up for auction. A velvet dress and a pair of earrings Houston whore in the film "The Bodyguard" will all be put up for auction and sold to the highest bidder.   The Chris Brown and Rihanna reconciliation rumors continue.
