The wacky adventures of Ron Artest have gone international. Fresh off joining the world-champion Los Angeles Lakers for a 5-year deal, the NBA vet is in China, on the beach, promoting a new female artist he says he’s signed. Her name is Shin Shin, and Ron is enthusiastic because they’re already “blowing up in China.” If you still aren’t sold, Ron filmed her in a bikini in the latest video he released on his real Twitter page.

Lakers fans need not be too concerned about his priorities, because he also Tweeted that he’s been working out and plans to come back bigger and stronger. Even in his elbows.

He added photographic evidence of his workout results, for those interested.

It’s no guarantee the Laker signing will work out well on the court, but we sure know that Ron Artest and Hollywood’s bright lights should be an off the court hit. And if we’re lucky this might lead to Ron Artest rapping in Chinese.
