Vanilla Ice performs “Ice Ice Baby” live in Denver

Here’s a few clips of Vanilla Ice performing “Ice Ice Baby” live at the Pepsi Center during halftime at the Denver Nuggets game tonight. Totally the highlight of my week!

While he was on stage, I flashed back to myself as a kid in the early 90s dancing to this song and thinking he was so hot. Then I flash back to myself just a few years ago watching Rob Van Winkle on The Surreal Life and absolutely loving it. Usually anyone on celebreality tv proves their lameness, but he was one of very few celebrities who actually end up looking better after a reality show.

More clips after the jump…..

Michael Jackson is a Muslim now?

Many kids of the 80s are so quick to turn their backs on the King of Pop, but I’m proud to say that I love Michael Jackson. In the words of Dave Chappelle, “He made ThrillerThriller!”

In recent years (or decades depending on who’s talking) Michael has become more of a “Trashwire” celebrity, someone who’s kooky antics are fun, trashy tabloid fodder.

I recently saw a post on Digg that said that Michael recently converted to Islam and will change his name to Mikaeel. Of course, this was accompanied by a photo of him, covered from head to toe in “a traditional Arab women’s veil”.

My question to the world is this:
Is this really shocking to anyone? Is anything Michael does shocking to anyone anymore?

I feel like that bit on Weekend Update, “Really?!? With Seth and Amy”, where I just want to say, “Really, folks? Really? You’re really that surprised when Michael Jakson does something weird? Really?”

Anyway, I had to post the link because, despite the fact that I detest all these little short blurbs about “Jacko’s” daily misadventures, I find it rather irresistable to keep up with such non-news.
