Much has been said in the weeks preceding the competition about the choices for the season 13 cast. I say, let's just watch them dance. And tonight, some of them actually did. (Warning: Spoiler Alert!)
Ron Artest, a forward for the Los Angeles Lakers and "Dancing With The Stars" contestant, legally changed his name to Metta World Peace in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday.
"Changing my name was meant to inspire and bring youth together all around the world. After this short delay, my tickets have been paid and I'm glad that it is now official," World Peace said in a statement obtained by OnTheRedCarpet.com.
Ron Artest, a forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, said that he wasn't interested in joining "Dancing With The Stars" until his 8-year-old daughter Diamond reminded him of a good cause.
"When I was first had the opportunity to do 'Dancing With The Stars,' I wasn't going to do it but my daughter said 'Daddy, you should do it,'" Artest told OnTheRedCarpet.com. "She had cancer when she was four, so I said, 'Okay, how about I just dance for cancer?' So, all of my profits are going to go to cancer research."
