Yay, Vanilla Ice Doesn’t Matter Anymore

Thank gawd Vanilla Ice’s career went down the shitter as quickly as it did.

As you can imagine, he was an absolute nightmare to work with while on top of the charts, and I’m sure he still is, he just doesn’t have any clout anymore.

While opening for Vanilla back in 1991, Alanis Morissette, then a virtual nobody, says that she wasn’t even allowed to look him in the eye when in his presence.

She told Virgin Radio,

“I was instructed not to look him in the eye and that was my first experience of honoring someone’s privacy to the point where you look away when they come near you. I thought, ‘Wow, I didn’t think that actually existed!’”

Nowadays, the laughingstock of the rap industry begs for people to notice him. Funny how things change. Can you imagine what a fricking monster this guy would be if people actually paid attention to him?

Anyone remember Jim Carrey as Vanilla Ice on “In Living Color”? I had to post it, because not only is that one of my favorite shows of all time, Jim did a great job of mocking Vanilla. A classic!

Stumble it!

Celebrity Quote of the Day - Dave Coulier

“I said, ‘Wow, this girl is angry.’ And then I said, ‘Oh man, I think it’s Alanis.’ I listened to the song over and over again, and I said, ‘I think I have really hurt this person.’

We saw each other and hung out for an entire day. And it was beautiful. It was one of those things where it was kind of like, ‘We’re good.’ “

- Dave Coulier says he and Alanis Morrisette have made up since the ugly breakup that fueled her song, You Outta Know.

Celebrity Quote of the Day - Alanis Morissette

“I kissed Sarah Jessica Parker. I played a lesbian in Sex and the City and I had to kiss her. I have experimented with same-sex relationships in my life, but it wasn’t about enjoyment with Sarah Jessica. Her character was supposed to be reluctant about getting involved, so it wasn’t a passionate kiss - it was a reticent one, which is the reason I didn’t enjoy it.”

- Alanis Morissette didn’t enjoy her lesbian kiss with Sarah Jessica Parker.

Catching Up With Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette recently spoke with Newsweek’s Jac Chebatoris about her new album “Flavors of Entanglement,” her upcoming book and her ex-boyfriend Ryan Reynolds.

Let’s just get it out of the way: how do you feel about your ex-boyfriend Ryan Reynolds’s engagement to Scarlett Johansson?
[Laughs] I’m really happy for him.

Wasn’t your record originally supposed to come out on the same day as hers?
My album release date has been moved five times, so I wasn’t even aware of what dates were what at this point.

You strike me as someone with a Zen quality.
I just did a tour with [Matchbox Twenty's] Rob Thomas, and he kept saying that whenever I wasn’t with him, his imagining was that I was levitating somewhere, meditating. Cut to we had the most debaucherous, entertaining, hysterical time together, so they were the first to say that their perception of me was a little off!

You’re writing a book?
I’m so excited about it. I’m having to put a pin in it right now because I’m touring and I can’t focus on it, but it will re-emerge when this cycle of touring ends. It’s a book of essays that I’ve written and photographs from my travels and self-care practices.

What do you mean by “self-care”?
Just what to do when you’re completely depressed about—fill in the blank. Little exercises you can do.

I need that book!
I want it for myself! It’s a total selfish endeavor.

After “You Oughta Know” came out, you were known as Angry Alanis. Do you still get that?
I think anger is an incredible life force, and I’m proud of my own anger. I think so much of it has to do with where you channel it. I’d been repressing for a long time this sort of cultural thing for me, as being a Canadian, was that I was very passive-aggressive. So a lot was squashed down, and all of a sudden I had this freedom to write whatever I wanted, so of course this was going to come out.

Do you think a lot of people might have that wrong impression of you?
Well, what happens is that in interviews, I’d wind up being really philosophical, so the levity and the debauchery were in my private life, and then, the other persona came forth in my more public life.
