WELLINGTON, Fla. (April 11) - Vanilla Ice was released from jail Friday following his arrest on a charge of simple battery for allegedly pushing his wife.

The 39-year-old rap performer was arrested Thursday night at the couple's Wellington home in South Florida. Police said his wife called 911, saying he had kicked and hit her during an argument over buying a bedroom set. She later told deputies he had only pushed her.

Police said Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, denied pushing her.

He was freed Friday after appearing in court.

It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney. His agent, Tommy Quon, said he hadn't heard about the arrest and couldn't comment.

Vanilla Ice spent a night in jail in 2001 after being arrested following a domestic dispute.

Too Cold, Too Cold

He sold 15 million copies of the single "Ice Ice Baby" in 1990.

One would think he would get a black market battery, for starters.

decorating and choosing the furniture for the bedroom is a woman's job. But being the ***** that Ice is, I can see why he had a hissy fit.

his wife is wrong...
she suppose to agree with his choice of bedroom furniture.

If you women want a husband.... then you need to be passive.

But if you won't, then you got no business getting married.

No man should ever hit or push a woman. Unless she pushed first, then I say push her back. Woman wanted equal rights, now we have them.
As the mother of sons,, I taught my boys never ever to hit any woman. Until I walked in and saw my son being hit by his girl friend. Just because a female is a female, it dont mean its alright to hit any man, or push. Some do this,,,because they know they wont be hit back. So, I have taught my sons now, that if a woman hits them,,,,hit her back. Sorry ladies, but fair is fair. I told them not to hit hard ever, just give them back what they dish out. But carefully. No one should ever hit anyone, but some woman do have it coming. Equal rights for all.

Current facts on the allegations being made by Larry Sinclair against Barrack Obama. Judge Henry Kennedy, who presides over District Court in Washington, D.C., has granted Larry Sinclair’s motion for discovery and signed an order for subpoenas regarding Sinclair’s lawsuit. The suit, filed in March, reiterates claims Sinclair has made in the past about Obama. On the evening of November 6, 1999, Mr. Obama made a telephone call from his cellphone to a presently unknown individual during which Mr. Obama arranged the cocaine purchase. Mr. Obama exited the limousine with two hundred fifty dollars ($250) and returned a short while later with an ‘eightball’ of cocaine. Larry Sinclair and Mr. Obama then ingested cocaine. A sexual encounter allegedly took place between the two after the drug use. A PolyScore computer analysis conducted on Larry Sinclair in February indicated that he was being truthful. Google it for the facts...
