Items from Michael Jackson’s Home Set for Auction

On December 17, 2011, Julien’s Auctions, the celebrity memorabilia auction house, will auction off items from the Holmby Hills home where Michael Jackson and his children lived from December 2008 until Jackson’s death in June 2009. The auction is entitled “100 North Carolwood Drive,” and does not mention Jackson by name or use his likeness because the items set for auction were not actually owned by Jackson but were only on lease to the singer.

Though the headboard of the bed in which Jackson died was originally up for auction, Julien’s pulled it from auction at the request of representatives of Jackson’s estate. A list of some of the items set for auction is below:

• A chalkboard with “I (heart) Daddy. SMILE, it’s for free” written on it
• Bedroom chairs with Jackson’s makeup smudged on them
• A mirror on which Jackson himself apparently wrote the words “train-perfection-March April May- full out”
• Antique furnishings
• Paintings
• Sculptures
