    Professional basketball player.

    Rapper.

    Producer.

    But Ron Artest, supermodel?

    That is the newest role for the Indiana Pacer, who has been suspended for the rest of the season in the wake of a Nov. 19 brawl between Pacers players and Detroit fans, is being featured in an advertising campaign for "The Roc" brand of lifestyle companies.

    Other well-known faces in the Spring 2005 campaign Roc for Life include real supermodels Naomi Campbell and Karolina Kurkova, actor Kevin Bacon and rapper Cam'Ron, among others. The print ads debut in the March issues of many fashion-oriented magazines.

    Artest's involvement came through his friendship with Damon Dash, CEO of "The Roc," a conglomeration of companies from the urban clothing line Rocawear to movie production company Dash Films.</div>
