Ron Artest Axed; Kardashians React To Dancing With The Stars Results

The Kardashian sisters, Khloe, Kourtney and Kim are blasting Dancing with the Stars results. Not only because Ron Artest, AKA Metta World Peace, was eliminated but because their brother Rob Kardashian was in the bottom three! The audacity!!

Ron Artest’s exit was predictable though I’m actually a little sad to see him go first. His dancing may have been two steps shy of simply walking, but Rob Kardashian didn’t fare so well either – sorry sisters.   Perhaps Artest’s decision to dye his hair blonde made him a bit unrecognizable to his fans. I was certainly doing a double take on the first night, but was pleasantly delighted to see it back to its original black for Tuesday’s show.

Artest made sure to leave DWTS with as much humbling style and gratitude as he possessed upon entering by smiling to the crowd and raising his arms in triumph.

“You don’t want to leave that last impression, upset and sad.   It was fun, and we tried hard. I knew those scores were right.   I messed up a lot in the end during that dance.”

Although some believe his notable name change may have proven distracting, Ron made sure to mention that he didn’t believe that had much to do with his scoring.

Ron summed up his experience with these simple words;

“I didn’t think I’d like it, I’m off the show now but I like dancing.”

So long Metta World Peace. Hopefully the NBA lockout will be over soon so you can get back to your day job. With the Kardashians showing up in full force we doubt Rob – who should be next to go on Dancing with the Stars – will be next to go. Until then check out Metta World Peace on Jimmy Kimmel following his elimination:

Back to the Kardashians throwing a fit on twitter about their brother Rob. Let’s start with Kourtney:

“There is NO way Rob Kardashian was trending worldwide last night and in the bottom 3. Impossible!” She continued, this time shouting, “HOW IS ELISABETTA SAFE?!??! HOW?! Seriously!!!”

Kim Kardashian added, “This just can’t be! Rob in the bottom three is impossible! He did soooo good!”

“Even though I’m beyond thrilled my brother is SAFE, I’m sad that Ron was first to go,” Kourtney said. “He didn’t deserve it.”

Khloe capped it off with her tweet: “Honestly, I didn’t think any one of those people should have been in the bottom three. I just can’t handle this stuff. I’m so stressed out!” These girls sooo dramatic. Despite it all, did someone else…say Elisabetta…deserve to be in the bottom three?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
