America, say hello to Metta World Peace.



With one stroke of a pen, Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest officially became Metta World Peace on Friday. Let the puns begin.

After years of contemplating a name change ? and a delay caused by some unpaid parking tickets ? Artest finally can be known by his new handle. LA Superior Court commissioner Matthew St. George signed off on the change in a hearing that took fewer than 30 seconds.

In at statement issued by his publicist, Courtney Barnes, after the hearing, Artest ? er, World Peace ? said, "Changing my name was meant to inspire and bring youth together all around the world. After this short delay, my tickets have been paid and I'm glad that it is now official."
