Damn, I mean, I know times are hard when you’re a former one hit wonder, but I didn’t know shit was getting THAT real. Vanilla Ice, real name Robert Van Winkle, was picked up in Florida and charged with home burglary after he stole a bunch of shit from an empty house for his DIY home show or whatever.
Lantana PD tells TMZ … it’s all connected to Ice’s TV show, “The Vanilla Ice Project.” Ice was renovating a nearby home and allegedly thought it was a good idea to go to the abandoned place and take the items in question.
Apparently, even though the house was vacant, the rightful owner had a problem with someone jacking their belongings … thus the burglary charge.
The cops got a search warrant and recovered some of the items.
First of all, yikes – just how far will nostalgia get you these days? The Vanilla Ice Project? Does anyone even care about Vanilla Ice? For anyone who knows him, I doubt the first thing they think of in association is DIY house projects, but whatever.
Second of all, no word if he was bailed or what happened there. Huh, go figure.
Sucks he had to go and do that. He’s actually pretty amazing at the DIY stuff and his show is good.
