New Houston Rockets Forward, Ron Artest Does Entire Interview in Profile due to Missing Tooth

New Houston Rocket, Ron Artest Does Entire Interview in Profile due to Missing Tooth

The Houston Rockets' newest superstar, forward Ron Artest, arrived at Bush Intercontinental Airport on Tuesday afternoon. 

Artest agreed to interview with sports reporters on Tuesday as he made a visit to town.

 As part of the agreement, the photographers had to shoot him from the side because he recently had a tooth knocked out. 

Ron went through the entire impromptu press conference with a profile shot. Artest was in town to undergo a physical, which is required as part of the trade that brought Artest to Houston from Sacramento, and to look for a place to live.

That's the epitome of vanity but I guess I can't blame him. No one wants to be on Naional Television toothless. LOL

Allen Iverson's Brood is Getting Bigger

We hear Congratulations are in order for Allen and his Wife Tawanna who is said to be expecting their 5th, yeah that's right, count 'em... 1,2,3,4,5, child together.

Allen, stated that At 32, he's too old for the spectacle. "I've got four kids and one on the way. I'm the coach in that house," he said "If I'm not setting a good example, then I'm failing as a father. That's the last thing I'd want to do is fail my kids."


Granted, we aren't 100% sure that said baby is by his wife but knowing Tawanna's crazy ass, If he is saying it in public, it better be or she is liable to cut his dick off.

Ali, 30, and Conway, 37, met at his house, when he hosted a small get-together, which Ali attended with a friend. The pair became engaged on Thanksgiving 2006.

Shortly after their wedding, Ali told PEOPLE that married life was "excellent."
