NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– DIY Network, the go-to-destination for home improvement television, and Vanilla Ice, 90s pop icon, home remodeler and host of The Vanilla Ice Project, are giving one lucky viewer a rock star room renovation. From May 16 to June 27, homeowners can upload videos and photos to DIYNetwork.com telling Vanilla Ice why he should renovate a room in their house. The winner of the “Ice My House” contest will receive a $30,000 room makeover courtesy of Vanilla Ice and his crew. In addition, the transformation will be documented in a one-hour special called, “VIP: Ice My House,” which will kick-off the second season of DIY Network’s The Vanilla Ice Project, in early 2012.

“If there is a problem, yo, I’ll solve it,” said Vanilla Ice when asked about DIY Network’s “Ice My House” contest. “I’m looking forward to visiting a viewer in their hometown and giving them an off-the-hook renovation. I’ll take their space from zero-to-hero and have a little fun in the process.”

Currently in production, rock star turned home improvement all-star Vanilla Ice and his crew are back for another season of 13 half-hour episodes of jaw-dropping renovations as they tackle a new, busted up Palm Beach area mansion. This time, Vanilla Ice’s imagination runs wild as he chases down the hottest home improvement trends and technology. But first, he’s going to move walls, tear out shoddy work, and build this house up from the studs. Wes, Handsome Dan, Rodney and Joey – his team of contractors – have his back every step of the way.

After his chart topping hit “Ice Ice Baby,” Vanilla Ice turned his focus to a new hobby – buying land and flipping houses. He’s renovated old homes and foreclosures, and taught himself the basics through hands-on experience and a lot of research. The first season of DIY Network’s The Vanilla Ice Project premiered to critical-acclaim in October 2010.

Vanilla Ice is participating in a ground breaking social media campaign with Hotels.com.

Hotels.com is extending its Clay Yourself digital avatar campaign with a social entertainment experience to woo Facebookers to engage with the brand.

The Expedia-owned site’s new Trip Your Face website is the hub for an interactive journey that starts when visitors select one of three destinations (New York, Paris or Las Vegas) and upload their Facebook photo plus profile photos of up to three friends to participate in the fun.

After choosing which actors to superimpose their faces onto (after a bit of technical fiddling), the action moves to a screen that features a hotel room in New York, Las Vegas or Paris.

As in The Hangover, each hotel room and a trashed hotel room (a video flashback button helps fill in the backstory). The Paris hotel room features retired NBA star Dennis Rodman with some scantily clad women; Las Vegas features Vanilla Ice; while New York’s gangster-style getaway is celeb-free.
