Kai Cenat was doing what he does best Monday night -- streaming live on YouTube -- but his show went sideways after cops say he got "swatted" in L.A.

The famous streamer was doing his live stream from a Beverly Hills mansion when an anonymous caller reported a gruesome crime around 9:35 PM, which turned out to be fake ... this according to law enforcement sources.

We're told the caller said they were armed with a rifle and shot their mother and had their young sister tied up at Kai's mansion. Our sources say the caller simulated the sound of gunshots to make the phony incident seem all the more real.

Kim Kardashian and her son, Saint West, are teaming up on Kai Cenat ... helping hurl a table at him during a hilarious prank on his live stream.

The mother-son duo popped up on Cenat's "Mafiathon 3" -- a 30-day live stream that kicked off Monday night.

Kim walked in first ... wowing Cenat and his crew in a swanky white suit and fresh pair of shades. She hung out with them for about 30 minutes before jumping into Cenat's "Extreme Noodle Game" -- and that's when the fun really starts.

Courtney Clenney killed her boyfriend Christian Obumseli in Miami back in 2022 ... but whether she murdered him or killed him in self-defense will be the subject of her trial -- and, we examine the case in a documentary now available to stream on YouTube.

We've put our doc "TMZ Investigates: Killer OnlyFans Model: Deadly Love Story" on the video streaming site ... which takes viewers through all the beats of Clenney and Obumseli's toxic relationship.

Clenney -- who was seen hitting Christian during a trip to Aspen, Colorado -- has claimed self-defense. She's facing a second-degree murder charge in Florida.

Candace Owens claims Donald Trump personally intervened in her quest to expose France's First Lady Brigitte Macron as an alleged trans woman -- but CO says she never backed down to 47's demands.

Owens went on Tucker Carlson's podcast last week and told the former Fox News host Trump phoned her to tell her to knock off all the talk about French President Emmanuel Macron's wife being a trans woman. Candace claimed she received the Trump call after Macron flew to Washington, D.C. to request the 47th prez contact her over her viral series, 'Becoming Brigitte.'

Watch the clip ... it's super interesting seeing Candace and Tucker banter back and forth about the two world leaders over Brigitte's alleged secret she's been hiding all these years -- at least according to Candace.

Trisha Paytas has been through plenty of interesting experiences throughout her career as a media personality ... and ya gotta imagine becoming a mother's way up on the list!

The podcast host is a proud mom to two daughters and a son with her husband, Moses Hacmon.

Here's a look at the lives of the media personality's three children, as well as the reasons why she chose their names.

Paytas' eldest daughter, Malibu Barbie, was born in October 2022, which came as a shock to the social media figure, as she'd previously dealt with fertility issues.

The media figure opened up about her daughter's name in a Q&A video she shared on her YouTube account the same month, where she said she'd "always loved" the word Malibu and felt as if it would be a great name for a kid.

She then suggested Barbie as a middle name for her first baby as she felt it would be "the cutest name ever."

Paytas has also credited the birth of her daughter with inspiring her to place more of an emphasis on her mental well-being, and she said in an interview with Elle she'd "been putting in a lot of work to control my emotions" after becoming a mother.

The YouTube star's fans didn't have to wait too long for another big announcement about her family, because she revealed her second pregnancy, sharing a post on her Instagram account in October 2023.

She gave birth to her second daughter, Elvis, the following May, and her middle child's been featured in plenty of her YouTube photos and Instagram posts.

Oh, and get this ... Paytas actually gave her fans a bit of foreshadowing about her children's names in a video that she shared all the way back in 2011!

She reposted the video on her Instagram account following her second daughter's arrival, and although it's worth mentioning she was banking on having a boy named Elvis and twin girls named Malibu and Barbie, it looks like she got what she wanted one way or another!

Paytas announced she was planning to add a third child to her family during a March 2025 episode of her "Just Trish" podcast, where she showed off images of her baby's sonogram.

She welcomed her third child four months later ... she gave birth to a boy they named Aquaman -- his middle name is Moses, from his father.

The YouTube star opened up about the unorthodox name choice on another episode of "Just Trish" and claimed she'd originally thought about naming her child Water, as her husband's "whole philosophy was, 'We're just water.'"

Rex Heuermann is accused of hunting sex workers in a quiet Long Island beach town ... but could sloppy police work have allowed him to keep killing?

10:18 AM PT -- Trisha has just revealed her child's name is Aquaman.

Trisha Paytas just expanded her growing family -- she's given birth to her third child, according to Trisha's YouTube.

This marks the couple's third child in under three years. Trisha first became a mom in September 2022 when she gave birth to Malibu Barbie, and followed that up with daughter Elvis in June 2024.

No word yet on the name of baby No. 3 -- but if Trisha’s track record is anything to go by, it could be another bold, headline-grabbing choice.

Justin also detailed the chilling moment the murder took place -- claiming he killed his dad as a "Plan B" after his dad resisted his attempt at a citizen’s arrest, accusing his father of treason and making false statements.

We've learned how popular YouTuber P2istheName died in March ... the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner released Philip Enewally's cause of death Tuesday.
