08:05 AM ET 08.31 | Part of being an entertainer is not wanting to let people down, which Ron Artest seems to have down pat. [Artest] doesn't want to part ways with the British Basketball League's Cheshire Jets just yet. It's only been three weeks since he boasted to The Times, "I'm definitely playing for the Jets." But plenty of cold water has poured on that possibility. ... [Agent David Bauman] has since said Artest won't join the Jets should they refuse insurance. And, oh yeah, it just became official that Artest will be featured on "Dancing with the Stars," beginning Sept. 19. Artest maintains his plans won't alter. "I'm going to be with the Jets after Thanksgiving," Artest said in a phone interview.
