Robert Van Winkle, best known as hip-hop’s early 90s embarrassment Vanilla Ice, was arrested in Palm Beach County, Florida last night. The “Ninja Rap” star was booked on a domestic battery charge. (Totally unrelated, but why do people smile in mugshots? You’re going to jail, what are you cheesing about? You are not taking a class picture.)

Laura Van Winkle called the police on Thursday and reported that her husband was hitting and kicking her, the Palm Beach Post reports.

“He started yelling at me for going out to buy a bedroom set, in front of my daughter,” she said, per the report. “I’m sorry, I can’t say any more until I talk to an attorney.”

So maybe you got a chance to see K-Fed’s performance on the Teen Choice Awards. If not, David posted it below Frankly, it’s bad. Really bad. And somehow, he drags two other people down with him in the process.

Perez Hilton managed to cull some quotes from various sources about the K-Fed. The real choice one is from Elliot Wilson, editor in chief of XXL magazine. As he says, “I just think we ignore him [Federline]. He’s a joke, basically. I just don’t think he gets it. He doesn’t get that he’s Britney’s man and it’s hard to take him seriously.”

Nobody should take him seriously. If it crosses anyone’s mind, let this video be a little reminder of why this is a misguided idea at best.

What this all brings to mind, though, is Vanilla Ice. Now considered a punchline to a bad joke about the early nineties. Ice also dated Madonna, even appearing in her coffee-table book Sex. If Britney aspires to be Madonna, then is K-Fed really trying to be Vanilla Ice? If so, he’s already spot on with it. But he might even be down to the level of Snow.
