Vanilla Ice Goes Amish: Former Rap Star Gets New Reality Show On DIY Network

"Vanilla Ice Goes Amish" is a new reality show from the DIY network that will star the former rapper turned Mr. Fix It, Vanilla Ice.

"Vanilla Ice Goes Amish" will air on DIY later this year. The "Ice, Ice Baby" singer will be seen living among a community of Amish families in Ohio. Vanilla Ice will learn how the Amish community builds their homes and makes everyday repairs without the use of power tools.

"Vanilla Ice Goes Amish" is the second reality show on DIY for the one time rapper. His original show "The Vanilla Ice Project" will return to DIY this Fall.

Vanilla Ice is not the only musician to get his own reality show on DIY. Reverend Run of "Run DMC" fame will also be given a shot at his own fix it up reality show on DIY. Reverend Run's show will showcase the hip hop artist making repairs to his own home.

A press release from the DIY network says, " Joseph Ward Simmons, best known as "Rev. Run" from American hip hop group Run DMC, keeps it in the family as his 9,000 sq. ft. home in New Jersey undergoes a complete renovation in The Rev. Run Project. Premiering in 2014, DIY Network documents Rev. Run, his wife Justine and his three children, as they give their 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom a much-needed facelift. The series captures this family-based project as they update the entire house, including the great room, kitchen, garage and more. They even add an indoor swimming pool!"

Also getting his own show on DIY will be Daryl Hall from the musical duo Hall and Oats.

The DIY press release says, "Next year, DIY Network debuts The Daryl Hall Project, featuring singer/songwriter Daryl Hall from musical duo Hall & Oates as he fuels his second passion for historic home restoration with his latest project, a quaint 1700s Connecticut farm house. In the new series, Hall plans to revive this 1-bedroom into a new family home that was originally built by a widowed sea captain."
