Metta gets the first DWTS boot …
During the first Dancing with the Stars elimination of the season, Ron Artest and his pro partner Peta Murgatroyd got the NBC boot.
For the truly enlightened, you know the 6 ft. 7 in. L.A. Lakers forward by his new moniker, Metta World Peace. In either case, his dancing skills and decidedly bizarre behavior didn’t cut it with viewers and he earned the distinction of being the first celebrity sent packing during Season 13 of the popular dance competition.
We’re disappointed that one of the gorgeous new pro dancers got eliminated so quickly. Let’s face it, a huge part of the popularity of the show has to do with the sexy costumes.
We’ve compiled a collage from Monday night’s show. This does beg the question … who rocked it best?
Anna T., Elisabetta C., Kristin C.,
Lacey S., Peta M., Kym J.,
Hope S., Chynna P., Karina S.
