Vanilla Ice at Mex
Totally missed the boat on this one: early '90s superstar Vanilla Ice was at Mex in Power Plant Live last month. I'm so mad I wasn't there.
Luckily, someone shot this video. Here it is:
Ice (who is almost 40, by the way) was dumping shots of Jagermeister into an ice luge and rapping along to his hit single "Ice, Ice Baby." Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Or, in this case, melted.
Remember a few years back when he changed his performing name to V-Ice and put out that horrible rap/rock album? Or when Todd Bridges broke his face in Celebrity Boxing?
Now, Ice is on the club tour repping Jager. I have to say -- whoever came up with the idea of sending Vanilla Ice to city clubs with an ice luge gets serious Awesomely Bad points. If I were there, I'd probably do an ice luge shot from the Ice Man. Word to your mother.

I'm sad to say that I missed that as well. I'm also sad to say Vanilla Ice was my first ever concert when I was 16. Oh, the good ol days!
