Vanilla Ice, or Rob Van Winkle as is his legal name, said the DIY Network will broadcast the reality show — “sorta like ‘Pimp My Ride,’ except for houses” — starting in the fall.

The program will feature Van Winkle and his homies working on the property’s transformation.

“The previous owners took everything,” he told Page2Live. “They ripped out mirrors attached into the walls, the fridge, the files by the pool.

“At one point,the house was worth $2.4 million,” said the Wellington native, who has lived in the gated Versailles community for five years.

Van Winkle owns some two dozen rental properties in Palm Beach County.

He plans to re-list the finished property for $1.5 million.

Last night was an unusual night of entertainment at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington.

It started with a $25,000-show jumping competition. There was a little cleanup after the horses. Then hip-hop star Akon took to the stage as the windows of equestrian center neighbors started vibrating.

More than 1,500 people showed up for the party.

Franklin, Tuesday night at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood (click on the photo for SoFla concerts)

Aretha Franklin shocked concertgoers Tuesday night at Hard Rock Live, on the grounds of Hollywood’s Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The Queen of Soul, who turns 68 next week, has been struggling with her weight for years. Two years ago, she slimmed down substantially, telling People magazine that weight issues had vanished during a treadmill workout regimen. But one observer at Tuesday’s performance who has seen Franklin in several concerts over the past decade said she’d never appeared this plus before.

Hunky pop crooner Michael Buble, arguably the greatest thing to come out of Canada since Celine Dion and socialized medicine, kicked off his Crazy Love world tour in South Florida last night. After his sold-out gig at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, the singer of Haven’t Met You Yet headed to Tampa and Atlanta then on through the United States and Europe.
