This past spring Vanilla Ice (aka Robert Van Winkle) announced through his website that he was going to have his own show on the DIY Network titled "The Vanilla Ice Project". The show is to chronicle the remodel of a foreclosed home Ice had purchased in January 2010 here in Palm Beach County (in the Versailles community within the Village of Wellington to be exact).

Ice began fixing up the $419,000 home (valued at 1.5 million just 3 years ago) with plans to "flip" it for a quick buck. I'm interested to see how this show turns out. I love Ice, he is a local celeb here in South Florida who has made positive contributions to our community. For the past several years Ice has thrown some mad fun parties such as the Vanilla Ice Holiday House Party and he's been dedicated to the success of the Vanilla Ice Toys for Tots Holiday Drive.

The 10-episode series titled "The Vanilla Ice Project" is set to air October 14, 2010 at 9:00 PM ET on the DIY Network. Follow Ice along as he and his tatted friends remodel the 7,000 sq. ft. Florida home into a high-tech, sustainable, rock star pad.

I wonder if "he'll cook -GC's- like a pound of bacon"....word to your mutha!
