Where are they now? Thanksgiving edition!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Quick analogy: Anorexics are to Thanksgiving what Jehovah’s Witnesses are to Christmas. Try to do your anorexic friends a favor and pass them the sweet potatoes, or just eat them all yourself and then call yourself fat. Anyways, hope everyone’s Thanksgiving is a gut-bustingly, tryptophanatical turkey day. On with the post…

After typing my last post about how much I loved the 90’s, I got to thinking… What are some of my favorite 90’s stars doing now? After a quick google search and recalling some funny news of the past week, I found a few guys you might find of interest. It turns out some of them are doing some things you wouldn’t expect, or even care about, or want to see at all.

Remember Steve Urkel? Of course you do - Jaleel White turned in one of the greatest sitcom performances of all time during Family Matters, plus he was really great in that Toys ‘R Us commercial when he was three. Now, it seems Jaleel is letting his creative juices flow, as a blogger for NBA.com. He must be really busy, because he’s posted exactly one time since June.

Next on the where are they now lineup is Averman from the Mighty Ducks. Remember the wise-cracking Jewish kid who looked about as athletic as Stephen Hawking? Well his real name is Matt Doherty, and he’s kept acting, if you can call it that. He’s been in two projects since D3: a drunk in Truth and Dare (yes, THE Truth and Dare) and also a Masterpiece Video Employee in 2000’s Ghost World. The funny part isn’t his less-than-impressive resume, it’s what he looks like. Poor Averman must’ve taken a knucklepuck straight to the kisser.

And finally, everyone’s favorite sampler/plagiarizer/celebrity boxer/reality star Vanilla Ice, aka Robert Van Winkle. Apparently he’s taken his music a new, hardcore direction, now playing a thrash version of everyone’s favorite, Ice Ice Baby. The real news, however, is that the Winskster was recently reunited with his pet wallaroo and goat after a frightening moment when they escaped for over a week. What is more perplexing? The fact that Ice has these crazy pets, the fact that a goat and a wallaroo hung out, wandering around together on their own for over a week, or the fact that Vanilla is still alive?
