Kat Von D and Deadmau5 reveal split over Twitter

After their split, Kat Von D and Deadmau5 both took to their social media accounts to tell their sides of the story.

Kat Von D and Deadmau5's engagement started over Twitter, so it's only appropriate that they would discuss their break up on the social network site.

The couple, who have been engaged since December when the DJ sent a proposal to Von D via Twitter, have called it quits over allegations that he cheated.

Von D posted a cryptic tweet on Wednesday, and later followed it up with a second tweet that gave her more than 1 million Twitter followers a bit more detail on her current situation.

For his part, Deadmau5 (real name Joel Zimmerman) is denying he ever cheated, offering his Facebook fans and Twitter followers his own version of what went down:

At the end of June, it was clear that the relationship was not working and we mutually ended the engagement. I was not, at any point, unfaithful to Kat during our time together.

In the Facebook post, Deadmau5 admits that he did have "relations" with another woman before he proposed to Von D, but claims that it happened while he and the former reality personality were broken up.

Von D certainly hasn't been lucky in love. This is the third failed engagement for the tattoo artist in two years. She was previously engaged -- twice! -- to motorcycle builder and reality star Jesse James. Before that, she was married to fellow tattoo artist Oliver Peck from 2004 to 2007.

Arab Idol winner gets hero's welcome in Gaza

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) ? Thousands of excited Gaza residents have mobbed the area's southern border crossing with Egypt to welcome home the winner of the Arab Idol talent contest.

Around 4,000 people gathered early Tuesday for the arrival of Mohammad Assaf, the 23-year-old who is the first Palestinian to win the popular reality show. His victory on Saturday sparked huge celebrations in the West Bank and Gaza.

Assaf is widely viewed as a unifying symbol in the Palestinian territories. His victory won praise from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and even some officials from Gaza's conservative Hamas rulers.

Assaf is on the Egyptian side of the border and is expected to cross shortly.

After a stop in the Palestinian territories, he plans on moving to Dubai to continue his recording career.

Harry Reid calls House Republicans ?crazies?

"Wacko birds" are so last season.

Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, a frustrated Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid referred to some House Republicans as "crazies" when asked about the federal immigration bill's chances of passing the Republican-majority House.

?The speaker has said, within a period of a little over 24 hours, we?re going to pass immigration but we?re going to have Democratic votes to do it. As soon as his crazies heard that, I guess they talked to him and next day he comes back and said: ?I will only pass it if I have the majority of the majority,'" Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said. "So the point is, I'm not sure that he?or anyone else in leadership in the House?really know what they're doing."

Reid was referring to House Speaker John Boehner's vow in June that he would not put a comprehensive immigration bill to a vote without support from a majority of Republicans. (Boehner was under pressure from House Republicans after he suggested in April that he could rely on Democrats to pass the bill if it lacked support from a majority of the Republican caucus.)

The Senate is expected to pass a bill as early as Thursday, and Boehner will be forced to make a decision soon. The legislation's passage will put pressure on the House to finish its own version, but the bipartisan appetite for a comprehensive bill is weaker in the House than the Senate.

Vertu's Perry Oosting steps down as CEO, replaced by CMO Max Pogliani

Vertu's Perry Oosting steps down as CEO, replaced by CMO Max Pogliani

According to a statement we received earlier, Vertu's Perry Oosting (pictured left) has stepped down after his successful four year stint as President and CEO, though he'll continue to invest in the company. Despite the relatively short run, the Dutch exec oversaw Vertu's departure from Nokia and subsequently launched the company's first-ever Android device, the Ti. Little is known about the reasons behind this change, but judging by Oosting's considerable knowledge of the luxury goods market, he'll have plenty of options for his next move.

The luxury phone maker will now be led by CMO Massimiliano "Max" Pogliani (pictured right), who's probably best known for building up Nespresso, Nestlé's premium coffee brand, prior to joining Vertu last November. Pogliani will be assisted by ex-Jimmy Choo COO Jonathan Sinclair, who joined Vertu this month under the same title. Press release after the break.

The Ice Cream of the Future of the Past Is Your Deal of the Day

The Ice Cream of the Future of the Past Is Your Deal of the Day

Still upset about the slow death and bankruptcy of Dippin' Dots, the ice cream of the future? Check out this officially licensed DIY Dippin' Dots kit, which is only $4 from Toys 'R' Us right now. Four bucks! Thats less than a cup of ice cream pellets at the ballpark.

Sure, this kit?which is aimed at children, by the way?doesn't come with liquid nitrogen, so they're not really Dippin' Dots, at least not the kind you'd buy from an official franchise. But it will produce tiny balls of frozen treat, and at $4, what more can you ask for? If you can drop by a Toys 'R' Us, shipping is free, otherwise it'll run you $8. But even at $12, that's still a better price than Amazon, or Kmart, or other retailers.

With the world watching

LeBron James recently proved success can do wonders when the surrounding white noise gets loud.? A recently-crowned two-time champion James so ingeniously reminded us, ?I ain?t got no worries.?

With his third brilliantly taken goal in three matches and another assist to boot, Neymar has fed many of his biggest critics their own words to munch on.

Ahead of his debut with Barcelona, who are ?57 million ($74.8 million) poorer thanks to his purchase, the Brazilian youngster is showing his ability to change a game and ignite a crowd.

Even respected journalists are reconsidering things they?ve said about the new Catalan signing

Let?s recap.

Against Japan in the tournament opener, the 21-year-old begun the scoring in just the third minute by crushing Fred?s knockdown into the top corner.? It was a pressure-lifting goal, with the team having won just two of its last nine matches, and it?d been 23 months since their last competitive fixture.

Then came Mexico, whom Neymar chewed up and spit out in just nine minutes with a venomous volley past the in-form Jesus Corona.? Then, he showed he?s not just a finisher but a creator too with a wonderful short cross to substitute Jo who slotted home easily, and he should have had another assist but Hulk missed wide with a poor final ball.

Finally, the Italians were the most recent to face the Neymar chopping block.? From a tough angle and close range, he fired a bending free kick into the top corner to give them the lead for good.? Free kicks at the edge of the box can be difficult without space to put movement on the ball, but Neymar calmly converted his chance.

Neymar becomes the fourth player behind Ronaldinho, Riquelme, and David Villa as the only players to score in all three Confederations Cup group matches.

With the spotlight on his home country?s preparation for next year?s World Cup, the Brazilian youngster stepped up to the plate and delivered.? It still remains to be seen whether he can consistently deliver at the highest club level, but those back in Barcelona must be salivating at the thought of him and Messi pairing together to make maybe the most formidable strike force in the world.

At the moment, in his current form, Neymar ain?t got no worries.
