Snark, Critic and Pop!

There have been many times someone has mentioned Vanilla Ice (the “singer” if you will) and I have though “Gee, he seems to be a real tool… or maybe, some type of pirate”.  Well, it is the latter of course.  Rob Van Winkle as his mother would call him if she were not horribly ashamed of him, will be starring as Captain Hook in a pantomime of Peter Pan at the Central Theatre in Chatham, Kent.  Yes, he is still alive and apparently getting work.  Why hire him?

Tony Hill, the theatre’s general manager, said: “Ice is a huge name who I am sure will be a real draw for parents and children alike.”

He added: “(He) has never performed in a pantomime before, but I am sure that he will go down as a hit.”

A bizarre story from the AP:

The owner of an RV dealership sued by Taylor Lautner over a customized vehicle challenged the “Twilight” star Monday to use his muscles instead of his lawyers to resolve the case.

Brent McMahon, who owns McMahon’s RV in Irvine, Calif., offered to compete in a push-up contest to settle the breach of contract lawsuit that Lautner filed Aug. 23 claiming the dealership failed to deliver a $300,000 RV on time for use as a dressing room on the set of the actor’s latest film.

McMahon and his attorney denied wrongdoing and said they will vigorously defend the case in court if Lautner, 18, doesn’t accept the challenge.
