Ron Artest, who is eager to change his name to Metta World Peace, is going to have to wait till August . . . because that is as soon as he’ll be able to get in front of a judge to hear his case.
He filed the official documents yesterday with the L.A. County Superior Court, declaring that he desires to change his name for “personal reasons.” His hearing is scheduled for August 26 and, unless anyone objects (which they are allowed to do two days prior to the hearing), he’ll more than likely be granted the name change.
I don’t know how, but TMZ has Artest’s official Petition for Change of Name available for your viewing pleasure on their website. CLICK HERE if you think your morning will be positively enhanced by reading an athlete’s legal document.
Oh, and the best name change submitted by our readers in yesterday’s survey (feel free to keep sending them) was: Sessy Little Betch — LOL!
