Ron Artest Gets Up Close & Personal With Kobe Bryant. Photo: AP Photo/Chris Carlson

With Trevor Ariza most likely going to the Rockets or the Cavs, the Lakers made a bold move and are about to sign Ron Artest for 3  years/$ 18 million dollars.

Shaq is now a Cav and promises to get the King A Ring.  We will see if Lebron gets one.

Unhappy to see Ariza go.  Artest is a great defender but what he comes with could be deadly.  Oh well.  Under Phil Jackson, Rodman bloomed into a flower with less trouble.  Maybe this could just work.-Dr.FB

Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale Talk During Break Of Action At Laker Game. Photo: Splashnewsonline.com

Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale also took in the Laker game last night.

Other stars in attendance were Dr.funkenberry fav’s Denzel Washington, Alyssa Milano, Spike Lee (non too happy about the Knicks loss) Chris Rock (who gave props to Trevor Ariza (Laker player) after the game as well as the before mentioned Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgons.  Not spotted by us but we hear Leo Di Caprio & David Beckham were there as well.

This celeb crowd is just a warm up for the big game December 25th at Staple Center between the Lakers & The Celtics, a rematch of last years NBA Finals.  It pains me to say this but I think my Lakers are overhyped and Kevin Garnett and Boston will come in and win.  I hope they prove me wrong but right now, Boston is the better team.-Dr.FB
