Ron Artest, Dwyane Wade to Join ‘Dancing With the Stars’?


The Palm Beach Post and Charged.fm report that the NBA may soon have two of its stars dancing for a national television audience. The Artest rumor has been out for a while now, and for what it’s worth, Wade has been dancing up a storm of late: “Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest will trade in his high-tops for a pair of dancing shoes on the newest season of ABC’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’. A source close to the highly-rated reality show confirmed to CHARGED that Artest or as he will soon be known, Metta World Peace, is one of the participants on the 13th season of DWTS. The full cast will be announced on Monday, August 29th during ABC’s ‘The Bachelor Pad’ and the new season will kick-off Monday, September 19th. Artest, known for his defensive footwork will see if those skills translate to the dance floor.”
