Vanilla Ice says he felt used by Madonna

There's a headline I didn't expect to be writing. Vanilla Ice says that while Madonna was a great lover in 1992, he broke up with her because he found her book Sex — which featured a picture of him cavorting with a fully nude Madonna "disgusting and cheap."

According to Digital Spy, poor old Ice felt "embarrassed and ashamed" by the book; he calls it "a porno," which makes him the second public figure in recent months to criticize the eighteen-year-old volume, after Isabella Rossellini called it "moralistic" in an interview with Out magazine. This almost makes me feel sorry for Vanilla Ice; the thought of a young and ingenuous Robert Van Winkle (twenty-four at the time) feeling exploited by his older, more experienced, more business-savvy girlfriend is pretty sad all around. Still, it's clear who won that breakup. More on this to follow never.

Here's another Vanilla Ice uttering I never could have imagined: I love his home remodeling show on the DIY/HG networks (The Vanilla Ice Project). The guy really knows his way around a home depot, and actually has a lot of practical advice for home reno DIYers.

I remember Vanilla Ice, and thus I refuse to believe he has any sense of shame whatsoever.

Yeah, I saw his show, he really knows his shit, he knows the names of all those trees and stuff.

His show is surprisingly impressive. I was genuinely surprised that it is so good- it's shown here in Canada too.

He's now appearing as a contestant on the UK versiojn of Dancing on Ice. Honestly, I know the guy was flakey back in the day but I'm glad he's doing well now.

Why does anyone care about a book that is 18 years old? If he'd made the comments when he was, say, 25, I'd have beleived, but now? Really? Get over it dude.

It seems like more and more celebrities are dragging out their issues from the past and trying to make them relevant again.
