deadmau5

Hot electronic DJ Deadmau5 has himself a hot girlfriend, reality television tattoo artist Kat Von D. The two were spotted holding hands together in L.A. this week and the DJ confirmed via Twitter that he's in love.

Deadmau5 released the video for 'The Veldt,' and anyone with two eyes -- okay, even one eye - would gather that the DJ (real name Joel Zimmerman) drew inspiration from everyone's favorite gut wrenching Disney film 'The Lion King.' When Deadmau5 premiered the instrumental version three months ago, he said he was inspired by a short story written by Ray Bradbury in the 1950s...

Hell hath no fury like two dissed DJs. Electro master Deadmau5 and 'Jersey Shore' castmember DJ Pauly D are embroiled in a Twitter war after Deadmau5 criticized one of Pauly D's tracks.

Close call! DJ Deadmau5, just about the hottest thing on the EDM scene in 2012, nearly set Provocateur, a club located in the Meatpacking District of New York City, and himself on fire on Friday, May 4. Yikes.

Twitter, like most social media networks, is frequently derided by outsiders as being a pointless forum for people to overshare the meaningless trivia of their lives. But like any tool, its value depends on the way it's used -- and as one enterprising artist recently proved, it can help create major opportunities.
