Former rap star Vanilla Ice (real name: Robert Van Winkle), 32, was arrested and jailed last week after a violent spat with his wife while driving with their children on Interstate 595 in Davie, Fla., says the Associated Press. Laura Winkle refused to file a complaint, and the couple is "back living in the same house," said Vanilla Ice rep Steve Green. The musician ("Ice, Ice Baby") was released from a Fort Lauderdale jail Thursday on $3,500 bail. "I love my wife, I love my kids, my life's fine, everything's good, no hitting, no drugs," he told reporters afterward.
