Did You Hear?
:: Was Kanye West just creating a publicity stunt when he angrily tweeted that his album artwork would be censored? Turns out he specifically asked artist George Condo for an album cover for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy that would be banned. We assume he also asked for one that would make our year-end Worst Album Covers list. [Vulture]
:: Vanilla Ice calls Madonna "a great lover" and says he broke off their eight-month relationship after she released her coffeetable book, Sex. Bringing up something that happened decades ago? You keep staying relevant, Vanilla. [Huffington Post]
:: Britney's "Hold It Against Me" single sleeve — a work of art? One Britney fan thinks so. [MTV Buzzworthy]
:: Trent Reznor, who scored David Fincher's The Social Network, will next write the score for Fincher's adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. [Spinner]
:: An adult man had Justin Bieber's face tattooed on his thigh. (It's not Usher.) Somebody must have lost a bet. [Best Week Ever]

Stop, Collaborate And Listen To Jedward’s “Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)”
Wed Feb 3 2010 by Robbie Daw
The video for John and Edward Grimes' (aka Jedward) video for "Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)" answers the two searing questions on everyone's minds:
1. Why do we need The X Factor in America?
2. What the hell has Vanilla Ice been getting up to lately?
Though the Irish twins only placed sixth on the past season of The X Factor in the UK, their fair-to-middling vocal talent becomes a non-factor when it comes to the car-crash awesomeness that is their new music video. Check out the hook while the DJ revolves it below! More »

Taylor Swift Joins The Soundtrack Club—But How Does “Today Was A Fairytale” Stack Up Against The Rest?
Wed Jan 20 2010 by Becky Bain
It's pretty much a given that casting a musician in your movie guarantees they'll contribute to the film's soundtrack—and if you're lucky, you'll have a hit song to help promote your flick. The most recent example is Taylor Swift's "Today Was a Fairytale," the lead single off the soundtrack to Valentine's Day. The song was on iTunes for a matter of hours before it hit #1. (As for the fate of the movie? It has to compete with The Wolfman V-Day weekend, so we'll see whether America is in the mood to celebrate romance or, er, not.)
But how does Swift's "Fairytale" compare to the work of other recording artists who've tied in new songs with their big-screen appearances? Let's take a second to reflect on the good, the bad, and hell yes, Glitter: More »
MC Hammer And Vanilla Ice To Bump Into Each Other Onstage Tonight
Fri Feb 27 2009 by Dan Gibson
Tonight in Orem, Utah, concertgoers will be able to take in a historic double bill of Vanllia Ice and MC Hammer; the Salt Lake Tribune preview is loaded with great quotes from Vanilla Ice, and when I checked the wires for a recent picture of one or both of the hip-pop stars, I found the above shot of MC Hammer riding a bumper car in the Wisconsin Dells. Combined, it’s just too much for a blogger to resist.
Vanilla Ice, Crooner
Mon Nov 10 2008 by Mike Barthel
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that this is a blog, and this is a post about Vanilla Ice, so you know where it’s going: The 5:10 express to snarkopolis. How wrong you are, o cynical reader! Yes, this post is about Vanilla Ice’s new album. And yes, the new album is a fairly horrible amalgam of pseudo-rave, pseudo-metal, pseudo-rap, and awful flow. But though Vanilla Ice may be once again doing something he probably shouldn’t–his rap-metal incursion, making Ron Jeremy look mature, pissing off Suge Knight–he is, at least, doing something new: a covers album. A rap covers album. Called Vanilla Ice is Back: Hip Hop Classics.
911, It’s Vanilla Ice’s Wife Again
Wed May 7 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
TMZ’s 911 recording of Vanilla Ice’s wife after he allegedly hit and kicked her last April is so Ronnie Dobbs that I have a hard time believing it’s real. Gasp as she announces she’s been hit and needs a cop! Raise your eyebrow as she whines about how he won’t give her a credit card or a check book! Strain to hear him saying “I’m sorry, babe, I’m sorry…” in the background. “If I wanted to hurt you I could hurt you! And I didn’t!” Giggle as she yells “he’s already been on TV for pulling my hair!” and dismissively drawls “oh, now he’s threatening to kill himself again.” Boggle as she reveals that she’s sitting in a started car as her allegedly dangerous husband hugs their daughter outside. Laugh long and hard when she announces he’s left on his “teeny” bike. Bad boys, bad boys…
