"The Vanilla Ice Project": If there's a problem, yo he'll solve it

Sometimes when see I see celebrities shilling themselves just to keep the income flowing, I wonder why don't they just get a job. You know, do like the rest of us, head to the local community college and learn a trade.

Apparently 90s rapper Vanilla Ice had the same thought. Between "Ice Ice Baby" gigs, he flips homes, using his knowledge of landscaping and remodeling. And it seems he's quite successful.

That brings us to "The Vanilla Ice Project" (DIY network, 9 tonight), which shows the man born Rob Van Winkle and his tattooed crew renovating a 7,000-square-foot Palm Beach mansion.
