Deadmau5 Named House Artist for MTV VMAs

In the tradition of Wale, Mark Ronson, and late DJ AM and Travis Barker, house music icon Deadmau5 has been named as the house artist for the 2010 MTV VMAs. The mouse-head-wearing spinner will cue up songs all night during the September 12 event.

This year's VMAs — which air live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. (live ET, tape delayed PT) on September 12 — will also feature appearances by Nicki Minaj, Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, Trey Songz, Selena Gomez and Ne-Yo. Additional performers, presenters and a host will be announced soon.

In addition to being named the house artist, DeadMau5 is also this week's MTV PUSH artist, meaning fans will have unparalleled access to his live performances, music videos, interviews and exclusive footage.
