Nothing gets us in the mood for a jam like a has-been pop icon arrested for domestic battery — a sentiment to which KTLA morning staffer Jessica Holmes stylishly related this morning. Barely finished with her report of Vanilla Ice's jailing in Florida on charges of kicking and hitting his wife, the bubbly entertainmentard summoned a trio of back-up "dancers" for an impromptu run through "Ice Ice Baby." Reaction in the newsroom was mixed, with a vigorous defense from seasoned veterans who recalled the time Walter Cronkite and a young Dan Rather punctuated revelations of Ike Turner's domestic abuse with a loosely harmonized performance of "You Should'a Treated Me Right." Skin-crawling video after the jump.

"Ice Ice Baby" is one of the three rap songs I know. The other two being "Can't Touch This" and the theme song to "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air." And as much as I ultimately hate these songs, I still rap along because I can.
"Domestic battery
Got more hits than Bo Jackson
Chicky-check
Vanilla Ice is lockdown
Somebody scream!!!"
I'll be rhymin' dope rhymes for alla my life
Cause I got more hits than Vanilla Ice's wife
i hope she was given a pull-aside by KTLA management. and then some gold for her grill.
Holy shit. One of the worst moments of my life was spent in a hospital waiting room watching Jessica Holmes on a "View" knock off show.
@blackheartededitor:
my wife slappin' game is cause for pause
'cuz i'm crackin' more ho's than my man Santa Clause
and i'm out
@Douglas Reinhardt: Cannot. STAND. Her! Please, bring back Sam Rubin and get this idiot bimbo off the air.
@EuroDad: I'd say you're a genius if not for the unfortunate misspelling of "Santa Claus." But you're close!
So what kind of choreographed stage show will she do to commemorate some celebrity's miscarriage?
"I am shocked and slightly chagrined" at least some one on the KTLA morning has journalistic integrity
Been around for what seems like a century
I'm surprised that yer moms hasn't mentioned me
Been slapping 'round shorties since before you was born
And I'm still more popular than online porn!
Word.
How wildly inappropriate. Stay classy, KTLA.
What the f could have possibly been her motivation?
Did she think that was funny? Did she think that was (Lord, help us) cool? That ruined my weekend. I'm gonna go lie down and cry.
@STV:
bad grammar inhances my street cred.
lol
I find it inconceivable, frankly unbelievable somebody would up and marry Rob Van Winkle, Dinkleberry. But rappin' about battery should not inspire flattery. Two blond douchebags with rhythm-challenged dance hags prove to be somewhat prophetic: Nothing else is more pathetic. Nothing ever stoops as low as whitey tryin' to get ghet-to.
@Desk_hack: I know. I expect that kind of behavior from somebody over at the Fox 11 morning show, but not channel 5. Hal Fishmann is rolling in his grave.
Is she wearing a bra? I think not.
Jessica Holmes is great! I'm no fan of the 9:00 hour either, but she does a great job on the Morning News in general. Don't be haters.
I feel sorry for those of you chagrined by this - go pop in your Juno DVDs and sit self-satisfied at how "hip" you are.
Is she wearing a bra? I think not, but hey its ok with me.
@cinerama: We don't like Juno, either. Love, The Haters
:-)
Wow. I've never heard of this bint (sadly her talents have not reached the UK yet) but surely she has an editor or a producer? Who on earth thought it would be a good idea to segue from a wife beating story to ...that?
She's no Jillian Barbarie.
