Vanilla Ice Project returns for new TV season

MIAMI (AP) — An unlikely home improvement show hosted by 1990s rapper Vanilla Ice is back for a second season to remodel a South Florida home.

During the 13-episode run of "The Vanilla Ice Project" on the DIY Network, the pop icon and his crew will take a dilapidated Florida mansion and bring it into the 21st century with technology that isn't on the market yet.

The rapper's passion for real estate began in the early 1990s, after his big hit "Ice Ice Baby" made him a star with millions in the bank. He first bought a home on Miami Beach's exclusive Star Island, then others in Los Angeles, New York and Snowbird, Utah.

He owned them for three and sold them for a huge profit.

"The Vanilla Ice Project" resumes Saturday.
