Ron Artest — One Month ’til World Peace
Ron Artest is a shameless self-promoter — because over the last month, he had an L.A. newspaper print FOUR items about his new name … and it could change the way he’s identified forever.
Long story short — anyone looking to officially change their name in the State of California has to get a public declaration of the name change PRINTED in a local newspaper 4 times — once a week, 4 weeks in a row.
On July 19th, Ron’s LAST declaration to become Metta World Peace was published in the L.A. Daily Commerce — but the name change won’t become official until August 26th … when a judge is scheduled to sign the order.
Which means you have approximately four weeks to sell your Ron Artest jerseys.
