Vanilla Ice Updates “Baby Got Back” For Hot Dog Jingle, Says 90’s Was Best Era [Video]

Vanilla Ice and Mike Love of the Beach Boys Performed at Maskless Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve Party
Remember when Smash Mouth and some other bands so terrible that Trapt made it on to the promotional materials performed at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota back in August? It caused approximately 260,000 cases of COVID-19 according to one study, which means it probably affected more lives than anything any of the artists had done since appearing on the Shrek soundtrack. Not to be outdone, Florida hosted its own super-spreader event full of awful acts last night. Headlined by Vanilla Ice (no, really), the Trump campaign event saw approximately 500 guests attend a mask-optional night at the soon-to-be-former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort. In addition to the ’90s fossil, Mike Love continued his trend of pretending to represent the Beach Boys in support of Trump, des...
Struggle Rap Pioneer Vanilla Ice Has A Biopic Coming For Some Reason
Source: John Atashian / Getty Vanilla Ice blazed the charts three decades ago with his massive hit “Ice Ice Baby” en route to becoming a Hip-Hop punchline in the 1990s. While the Dallas rapper has reinvented himself several times, a green light was given to go forward with a biopic titled To The Extreme, giving this generation a glimpse into the life of one of the biggest struggle rappers of all time. To The Extreme was initially announced at the top of 2019, and The Wrap has confirmed that Dave Franco has landed the starring role of Robert Van Winkle, who becomes Vanilla Ice. The movie title shares the same as the title of Ice’s 1990 major studio debut which features the ubiquitous “Ice Ice Baby” and another mild hit in “Play That Funky Music.” Franco, who is the brother of actor James Fr...
Dave Franco to Play Vanilla Ice in New Biopic
Dave Franco is set to play Vanilla Ice in a biopic about the “Ice Ice Baby” rapper. In a wide-ranging interview with Insider, Franco elaborated on the news of his casting and how he sees the film playing out. “We have been in development for a while but we are inching closer and closer to preproduction,” Franco said of the film, the news of which was quietly revealed last year. He compared the project favorably to The Disaster Artist, the 2017 movie about filmmaker Tommy Wiseau that starred Franco and his brother James. (Wiseau directed and starred in the 2003 cult classic The Room. In The Disaster Artist, James Franco portrayed Wiseau while Dave played co-star Greg Sestero, who wrote a book of the same name about his experience working on the movie.) “With that movie, ...
Vanilla Ice Sold Only 284 Tickets Prior to COVID Cancellation of Austin Show
So that’s the reason why Vanilla Ice canceled! The ’90s rapper was slated to perform at Emerald Point Bar and Grill tonight, but canceled the show due to backlash as COVID-19 numbers continue to rise in Texas. “I listen to my fans. I hear all you people out there. I didn’t know the numbers were so crazy in Austin, but we were hoping that it would be a lot better by 4th of July because we booked this concert a long time ago.

Vanilla Ice to Play 4th of July Weekend Concert in Austin
At a time when bars, clubs, gyms and other places not co-owned by Kid Rock are shutting down again due to the spike in coronavirus cases (including in Texas where Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order last week shutting down the state’s bars), one event will go on in celebration of July 4th weekend in Texas: Vanilla Ice. Instead of stopping, collaborating and listening to health officials, Ice wants to roll back the years to the ’90s, which is what it says in the promotional material for his show at the Emerald Point Bar & Grill that takes place on Friday (July 3). “I can’t wait to get back to this,” Ice said in an Instagram post. “The 90s were the best. We didn’t have coronavirus, or cell phones, or computers. We had 5.0’s, blockbuster, Beavis and Butthead, Wayne’s World, Chris T...
