Judge blocks sale of Houston's Emmy AwardAFP A collection of articles owned by late American singer Whitney Houston will be auctioned off in Beverly Hills. Reuters A judge said Whitney Houston's family could not sell her Emmy Award. A judge has blocked the sale of an Emmy Award that Whitney Houston won 30 years ago after it was put on the auction block by the late singer's family. If an heir no longer wants an Emmy Award, it must be returned to the academy for storage in "memory of the recipient," according to court filings. US District Judge Percy Anderson issued a temporary restraining order against Heritage Auctions and the pop star's estate, which planned to sell the Emmy.
