Ron Artest is getting his own version of 'Punk'd' for athletes

Ron Artest Metta World Peace and LMNO Prods. are teaming up to bring you that hidden camera show for athletes that you never asked for. The production company is the driving force behind I Get That a Lot for CBS. They've partnered with Metta World Peace's Artest Media group to create a show that will feature all sorts of pranks and hijinks involving professional athletes and the folks in their inner circles.

"Pranking and practical jokes are part of the athletic culture, so it comes naturally to Metta," said Eric Schotz, President and CEO of ICM Partners-repped LMNO Prods.  Metta has a great sense of humor and this show will be a natural vehicle for him to showcase a side of his personality we don't get to see on the court."

Get ready for all of the uncomfortable tomfoolery your little heart desires. For his first prank, Mr. World Peace should make Manti Te'o's girlfriend disappear. Oh wait... [Deadline]
