Artest: Sex Symbol/Welfare Fraud

When I think of Artest, I can’t help but have flashbacks of him leaping over a table during a 2004 Pacers vs. Pistons Game and giving a fan the business. Coo Coo?

Earlier this week, he made a visit to the Jimmy Kimmel show and surprised guests when he came out wearing only his boxers. While there, he spoke with Kimmel about joining the Lakers team, introducing Khloe Kardashian to Lamar Odom, and visiting Kobe in the shower among other things [PAUSE].

Judging his latest antics, Artest is definitely stunting for a little pub (Rodman anyone?) and some sex symbol status. He also appears shirtless in Toni Braxton’s video for her new single “Yesterday” and orchestrated a sexy shoot with model Natalin Avci last month…just cause…

Meanwhile, he and his sister are being investigated for welfare fraud. Last year, she collected $34,000 in taxpayers money. How dreadful..
