“Dancing With The Stars”‘s First Elimination Is…

One down, eleven to go.

NBA baller Ron Artest, aka Metta World Peace, was the first contestant voted off "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday night, thanks to a cha-cha which the judges called "lacking in cha-cha content".

Artest took it all in stride, calling for a round of applause for partner Peta Murgatroyd, saying "Peta was great" before taking the floor for one last dance.
