One-Hit Wonder Vanilla Ice Says Justin Bieber's Fame Will Fade

As reported by our sister site The BoomBox, Vanilla Ice knows what it's like to grow up as a teen artist rapidly thrust into the spotlight then have it fade away just as fast. As a result, the 'Ice Ice Baby' creator is giving some advice to another young entertainer who has all eyes pointed in his direction: Justin Bieber.

When the rapper-turned-home improvement expert was 16, he came on the seen with his famed hit 'Ice Ice Baby,' but the attention he garnered fogged his view. "Sold over a hundred million records," Ice tells the Huffington Post. "And I had a weekend that lasted about three years, and I didn't know who I was, what's my purpose in life."

As for where Ice, born Rob Van Winkle, thinks the 17-year-old 'Baby' crooner will be in a few years, it seems he believes Bieber will get tossed to the side much in the same way he did when his one-hit wonder faded into oblivion.

"So my prediction about Bieber is that he's going to go through one of those weekends that lasts a few years because he's had such success as a child act," he admitted. "You know, then something else new will come along and he'll be forgotten and he can try to put all the pieces back together, so it's going to be entertaining to watch."

On the music front, Vanilla Ice is reportedly crafting a new album. In his personal life, the 43-year-old Texas native recently split from his wife, Laura Giaritta after 14 years of marriage due to allegations she was unfaithful.

Ice your song sucks ! get a life and leave the new singers alone. Ice you lost the fame and the Bieb's found it. He will be there for a long time, I feel sorry for you because the only way that you can get your name out is to put someone down..

(When the rapper-turned-home improvement expert was 16, he came on the seen with his famed hit 'Ice Ice Baby) OK lets just due some math here,Ice Ice baby was released in 1990,so if he was 16 at that time ,then he would be 37 today. But this article is saying he`s 43, so that means he had to have been born in1967. so lets get the facts straight here or at least proof read your article 1st.

Since day A of independence, OUR COUNTRY UNITED STATES HAVE GONE FROM WORSE TO THE WORST !!! IT IS OBVIOUS THAT PEOPLE ELECTED ARE REPRESENTING OWN INTERESTS ONLY ($$$ & Israel) AND COUNTRY IS IN A TOTAL MESS !!!

HOW MUCH FURTHER ARE WE WILLING TO GO IN ORDER TO PLEASE THESE VERY SAME PEOPLE WHO DENY US EVEN THE RIGHT TO EXISTENCE(what is to you country without laws or lawless country in respect to your personal rights, but the one that in contrast to your denied basic human rights recognizes you extremely liable when payments are due) !!?

IS IT INDEPENDENCE THAT WE CELEBRATE OR DEPENDENCE (what are your credit card bills or alimony saying about it) !!? HOW IS YOUR DIABETES AND LOST MARRIAGES !!? FORECLOSURES AND JOB SEARCH !!? THAT IS THE QUESTION TO BE OR NOT TO BE !!!!!! IS IT LAND OF THE FREE OR STATE OF TERROR AGAINST OWN POPULATION !!? IT IS TIME TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT COLOR ARE THE STRIPES ON OUR STAR SPANGLED BANNER !!!

VISIT(google text if links don't work) "DICTATOR OBAMA = STALIN = BUSH or USA = SOVIET UNION" http://avsecbostjan.blogspot.com/ or http://avsecbostjan.wordpress.com/ ...TO LEARN WHO, HOW, AND WHY RUINED YOU…FROM 911 TO EXILED WHITE AMERICAN REFUGEES SEEKING ASYLUM RIGHT NOW !!! TIME TO DETERMINE WHOSE INDEPENDENCE/AMERICA, WE CELEBRATE TODAY(who want to erase us and denies us the right to exist) !!! IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHOM WE ADDRESS WITH "PRESIDENT"(STOP HUMILIATING YOURSELF) !!!!
