*Vanilla Ice, real name Robert Van Winkle, is set to star in a new reality show this fall titled ‘The Vanilla Ice Project.’
According to theboombox.com, the 10-episode series will premiere on the DIY Network and focus on the rapper’s home improvements skills as he renovates a nine bedroom, 7,000 sq. ft. home located in Palm Beach, FL. Sounds exciting right?
“Over the last 15 years, Rob [Vanilla Ice] has taught himself the basics of home improvement through hands-on experience,” said representatives for DIY. “In each episode, Rob demonstrates his vast knowledge in home renovation… He calls the shots in this room-by-room makeover series, exposing an entirely new side of the star – one that his fans never have seen before.”
Vanilla Ice has been involved in real estate since he was a teen. His current property ventures include buying, developing and selling.
“Financially I’ve made some pretty good investments in real estate. I just enjoy it. Yesterday’s history is tomorrow’s mystery, and I just get in where I fit in,” Ice said in a recent interview.
‘The Vanilla Ice Project’ is set to air on the DIY Network starting October 14.
