FIRST COMMENT! Sorry I’ve never done that before.

Some blog posts just write themselves. Thanks for this one, MJ!

I read that he was coming to town.

You know your career is down the tubes when you can’t get women to come you back to your hotel room with you.

That might have made for a better blog post title.

Brewies and I also sang Journey with the Ice Man. It was awesome.

Journey is awesome. But only when it comes to karaoke.

Journey? Was it “Any Way You Want It [Except Not With These Two Girls]”?

I guess when he says “Somethin’ grabs ahold of me tightly” he’s right, except that night “somethin’” was him.

Zingah!!!!!

actually it was “don’t stop believing.” if we’re not going to go home with him we’d at least like to give him some hope.

Vanilla Cocktease.

Wow.

That man leaves a pathetic, sad life.

And in no way is that a shot at the friends, Jewbacca. It’s a shot at a 40-something getting wasted regularly while proudly displaying his “thug” tattoos. Isn’t he from Grosse Pointe or some shit?

How did I miss this?! Damn me, and my want of a higher education. Deep down, I’d rather sing “Oh, Sherry” with the magic that is Vanilla Ice.

One thing I missed the first time around… Did this actually happen at McFadden’s? I’m shocked that someone self-respecting like MJ and someone I presume to be self-respecting (since I haven’t met her to know) like HC would go to McFadden’s, even if it’s to shoot down ‘nilla.

vanilla ice is not famous or cool enough to not need any game.

Not sure if Wikipedia is up to date and accurate, but here are 2 of what someone can only assume to be many reasons NOT to go to Ice’s hotel room:

1. He currently lives in Wellington, Florida with his wife, Laura, and their two daughters, Dusti Raine and Keelee Breeze.

2. Van Winkle was arrested by police in Davie, Florida in January 2001 for assaulting his wife. According to the criminal complaint, they got into an argument as they drove on Interstate 595, with Ice allegedly pulling the hair from his wife’s head.

Looks like MJ and HC dodged an icy bullet there. Thanks for the info!

Wait a second. Did’nt V.I. make enough off his album(s?) sales and the Ice Ice Baby residuals, (which,over the past 15 years must have added up to a nice sum) to not have to make bar appearances? Is’nt he set for life?

I don’t think he does it for the money, I think he does it for the adulation and attention.

I couldn’t believe I was there but if it wasn’t for Steve’s birthday… Anyways, all the girls went into stripper mode then mounted the bar and started to “shake whatcha momma gave ya!” I didn’t realize groupies existed in this day and age, especially for Mr. Ice-Ice baby.

That’s because we’re old, grandpa.

I don’t really blame Vanilla Ice for trying! A closed mouth don’t get fed!

Soooooooooo many jokes there…

I think he does it for the money. Remember, he was involved in at least one lawsuit (Queen) after Ice Ice Baby came out. Not to mention the alleged dealings with Suge Knight.

I don’t care what it’s about, when Suge Knight comes looking for money, you give it to him.

Any question that starts with “Remember…” and involves Vanilla Ice will be quickly followed by a resounding “No!” unless it is “Remember when he sang Ice, Ice Baby?”

[…] “Dude, I took shots with K-Fed and he’s got nothing on you.” [Arjewtino] […]

It’s a sad day when you go from the Surreal Life to bar appearances.

Wait…that IS sad, right?

I still think that the moment when he got over himself on Surreal Life and karaoked “Ice, Ice, Baby” was one of the best moments in VH-1 history.

“one of the best moments in VH-1 history.” Because there are so many to choose from. Go ahead, try it, give me top 5 VH-1 moments (#1 HAS to be when Leif Garrett met that dude he crippled in the park).

oooohhh….. this is like when my 19 year old student came to class and talked about being hit on by Snow the night before at the bar (this is canada so it’s legal for her to go there). . and when I asked my students if they were even old enough to remember Snow (who is also a Canuck) they exclaimed, “yeah! — we were in Grade 2!!”

The Princess knows all the lyrics to Informer. I hate the song, though.

I remember the song “Informer” by Snow. Just in order to fully entrench the feeling of defeat from Saturday night, I was 9 and in 3rd grade when it was released back in 1993.

And by the way, his album title was fuckin’ awesome - [i]12 Inches of Snow[/i].

I meant to write it as 12 Inches of Snow. My bad.

Canadian white rappers is like doubly bad than a normal white rapper, correct? Am I right in assuming that all Americans basically consider Canada to be our kinda lame cousin that we tolerate at parties because they don’t tattle to our parents about the vodka we stole from their liquor cabinet?

I mean, that’s not racist. I have Canadian friends….

Let’s not forget, it was Canadian white rapper carrying on with a ridiculous faux-Jamaican accent. He actually uses the word ‘irie’ in ‘Informer.’

I remember when MTV used to run the lyrics under the video and you had to follow the hyperactively-bouncing ball along with his gibberish.

V.I.’s best moment was trashing the MTV set when he showed up and they voted “Ice Ice Baby” the worst video ever or something. That was classic awkward silence afterwards.

Cool as ice! (I think that was the name of Vanilla Ice’s movie.)

Top 5 VH1 Moments:

1) The aforementioned Leif Garrett scene.
2) Gary Coleman freaking out at the diner when he refused to say, “Whatchoo talkin bout, Willis?” on the “Surreal Life”.
3) Both times New York got rejected by Flavor Flav.
4) Ron Jeremy dropping trou on the “Surreal Life” and the blurry pixels were almost down to his knee.
5) When Pumkin spit in New York’s face/When the chick took a dump on the floor with everyone in the room and she claimed it was an accident - ahhh that Flavor of Love.

I can’t believe I just did that. Go Sox!!!!

Yeah his hotel room was alright. We stayed up and laughed all night, talked about past relationships, oh and then Ice took a heaping spoonful of the Rocky Road Ice Cream we were eating and shoved it in my face. We laughed it off and talked about past relationships again.

Is that some sort of tumor growing on his chin? Gross!

/Stop, collaborate and listen…

[…] FLESHBOT wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerptIt was so much fun and I danced all night. I love the idea that MJ and HC turned down a potential threesome with Vanilla Ice. Here are more photos of Vanilla Ice hanging out with my friends his new friends: … […]

They were retiring his music video, and he was supposed to smash the video with some implement of destruction… only he went overboard and smashed up everything, as Chris Kattan (I think) shrieked “No Vanilla!”

Is it mean for me to want to attach his face with a weedwhacker. I guess the chin hair is his signature style, so who I am to judge?
I still think of the ninja rap every time I see him. And dance-fighting ninja turtles.

Well, I’m glad to see someone at least took him up on his offer. Good looking out, Brewies Chewies. Who was number 3 though?

Since there seems to be a plethora of Snow experts commenting here, can someone please tell me what the F*&# he is saying when he says what sounds like “a lickee boom boom down”?
Please don’t tell me he’s actually saying “a lickee boom boom down”.

Close. He actually is saying “A licky boom boom down.”

I’m pretty sure Chris Kattan shrieks everything, but that’s neither here nor there.

Wasn’t like Janean Garafalo and Jon Stewart there as well?

Let’s watch together, shall we?

Yeah, I definitely remember Janeane and John being there, and I always kind of assumed Kattan was the third. Him shrieking anything is pretty much hilarious. Such is Mango.

And Bien - the fact that you had three of your top five (six?) as Flava of Love moments makes me want to kill myself. But then, nothing good ever really happens on Vh1, the retarded step-brother of the increasingly insufferable “Music” Television.
