Pauly D has finally lashed back at Deadmau5 in their ongoing Twitter war ... but the MTV star inadvertently trashed a living legend in the process -- Neil 'Frickin' Diamond.

Pauly obviously saw the comments Deadmau5 made to TMZ ... when he said the "Jersey Shore" star has no talent as a DJ.

Moments ago, Pauly fired back by posting a photo of a Deadmau5 CD in the clearance section of a retail store with a message that read, "Wait I'm Sorry I Cant Hear You @deadmau5 The Clearance Section Is Too Loud."



Nice comeback ... but the pic of the Deadmau5 album is next to "The Very Best of Neil Diamond" ... which happens to be in the same section!!!

Deadmau5 is fair game ... but c'mon Pauly ... leave Neil out of this!!!

Season 6 of "Jersey Shore" just dropped another major bomb, TMZ has learned ... Snooki will NOT be shacking up with her fellow castmates this summer -- instead getting her own private nest nearby.

Sources tell us ... the mama-to-be is taking her pregnancy very seriously, choosing to live NEAR the "Shore" house rather than IN it because it's not worth it to be surrounded by boozy, loud roommates while pregnant.

If you recall, Snooki announced she was knocked-up in February -- when she was already 3 months along -- which means while filming this summer she'll be in prime popping position ... all the more reason to have a pad of her own.

The guidette's absence is just another in a slew of "Shore" changes this year ... which includes a sober Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino (who just got out of rehab) and the possibility of adding a Snooki-baby to the cast.

It's shaping up to be the most boring BEST season ever!

Pauly D's a no-talent poser -- at least according to electronic music legend Deadmau5.

The famed mouse-headed DJ was shooting a music video in LA over the weekend -- when we asked if he thought the "Jersey Shore" star had any real DJ talent. Deadmau5 responded, "No, not really."

DM's Pauly D jab comes in the wake of a little Twitter feud last week -- when Mr. Mau5 publicly bashed Pauly's new music video, saying it looked embarrassingly cheap ... "like it cost about $150 to make."

Pauly said he was flattered that DM even deigned to criticize him -- but now, Deadmau5 says the entire embarrassing Internet standoff could have been avoided ... if Pauly did ONE thing differently ... watch the clip.

Not too many celebs would pose for pics with a fan who only minutes earlier dove through security to get close to them -- but Ronnie from "Jersey Shore" did just that yesterday ... making one girl's dream come true. 

Ronnie was in the Bronx for the opening of his new Ronnie's Shore Store. On his way inside, a female fan bumrushed her way through security to try and get close to Ronnie ... only to be pulled off him.

But once Ronnie got inside, instead of brushing the girl off, he posed for a few pics with the girl ... who was holding onto Ronnie for dear life.

Juice heads can be nice guys too.  

She looks like Snooki ... she talks like Snooki ... and this weekend, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to the MTV star took a brutal shot to the face ... like Snooki.

TMZ obtained footage from Saturday's Rockfest concert in Kansas City, MO ... where Slash was performing ... when an unidentified Snook-alike took a hard boot to the face from a very angry, very large male.

Sources at the scene tell TMZ ... the man had already gotten physical with other concertgoers when the Snook-alike decided to tell him off with a few choice words.

The man -- who didn't appreciate the criticism -- responded by planting his foot right in her grill ... dropping her to the floor like a sack of potatoes ... and igniting a massive brawl involving a bunch of scary looking individuals.

Eventually, the fight was broken up ... and sources at the scene tell us the Snook-alike appeared to be OK.

He can't drink ... but MTV's still taking another fat chance on The Situation -- casting him on Season 6 of "Jersey Shore" after his rehab stint for substance abuse -- and somehow, Abercrombie & Fitch is involved.

Here's how it all comes together: Situation just filed new legal docs in his ongoing battle with the clothing company over GTL-themed apparel. In the docs, Situation begs the judge in the case to let him skip an impending court date ... scheduled for June 14th.

The significance of that date -- Sitch says MTV has tapped him to return for another season of "Jersey Shore," which tapes from May 22nd to July 7th.

Sitch says he's required to be present at the "Jersey Shore" house 24/7 -- so he'd be violating his MTV contract by showing up in court.

Side note: Sitch also says he wants in excess of $10 million from A&F for trademark infringement. A judge has yet to make a decision on the court date issue.

Bottom line -- Situation's coming back ... more sober than ever! Woo.

"Jersey Shore" star Pauly D is entering the liquor business ... and TMZ has learned his new signature drink deal could set him up for life. 

According to our sources, Pauly D is close to announcing his own ready-to-drink cocktail called REMIX ... a series of vodka-based drinks in various flavors. Pauly's drink is meant to target the "pre-game" market -- the kind of drink you have before you go out for the evening. 

Our sources say Pauly D's business partner is none other than David Kanbar, the co-Founder of Skinnygirl Cocktails. We're told the drink was brought to the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America convention in Las Vegas early last month and buyers loved it.

Considering Skinnygirl sold for a rumored $120 million ... Pauly D might be retiring before you can say GTL.

More tan-on-tan aggression -- this time it's "Tanning Mom" firing back at Snooki ... claiming the reality star is "the biggest a**hole in the world" for criticizing her life decisions.

Patricia Krentcil -- who's been under fire for allegedly taking her 5-year-old daughter to a tanning salon -- was out in New Jersey yesterday ... when someone asked about the comments Snooki recently made to "Extra" -- "that b**ch is crazy."

Tanning Mom shot back ... saying, "She's the biggest a**hole in the world. She's fake, she's fat, her t*ts are fake, she's disgusting."

Yet, after all that ... she continued, "When this is all said and done, I'd like to meet up with 'Snoopy'."

Yes, she called her Snoopy ... and she probably owes Charles Schultz an apology.

Maybe we're still riding on the high of that awesome "Gypsy Wedding" catfight we posted ... but this catfight The Situation found himself in the middle of in Beverly Hills yesterday was so clearly staged for the cameras, we almost can't be excited about it. 

But it's still a catfight, so enjoy.

The infamous "Jersey Shore" house is back to its former guido glory -- receiving a spiffy new paint job this morning ... after the property had been defaced by hordes of graffiti artist super fans.

TMZ broke the story ... the house has become tag central for "Jersey Shore" fanatics -- who've taken to vandalizing the house, writing their names and random messages like, "We love you Snooki!"


The house is such a vandal magnet, it has to be repainted on a weekly basis -- and this morning, the house got its latest facelift.

... We give it a few hours, max.

As if having 9 booze-filled, fight-prone tenants wasn't punishment enough ... TMZ has learned the beach pad featured on "Jersey Shore" is now being violated on the outside ... by vandals. 

The realtor for the infamous house in Seaside Heights tell us ... hoards of people keep tagging the outside walls (above) with their names and random comments like, "We love you Snooki."

We're told the damage is so profuse ... the realtor is forced to repaint  the guido-smush den on a WEEKLY basis.


Not only that ... people are stealing roof shingles and constantly caught messing with the front door when the house is vacant.  

In light of the problems ... we're told security has been beefed up and local cops are on the look-out for nefarious fans.

The good news ... it's only the realtor's problem when the show is NOT in production ... otherwise the clean-up nightmare is in the hands of "Shore" producers.

As if they don't have enough to deal with.
