Hey, guess what? Vanilla Ice—remember him?—has a new hobby: flipping houses. In fact, the erstwhile rapper has just finished filming a reality-TV series for the DIY Network. Our sister site, Curbed National has the scoop. And the screener:

According to the press release, "After his chart-topping hit 'Ice, Ice Baby,' Rob [AKA Vanilla Ice] turned his focus on a new hobby, buying land and flipping houses." The show will follow him as he "rides his crew hard to get through the punch list" to ready a 7,000-square-foot Palm Beach, Fla., home for sale. This is a side of Vanilla that "fans have never seen before," indeed; for instance, he exhibits an impressively encyclopedic expertise about different varieties of palm trees.
