Rissa G. and Shaquan Roberts -- better known as Riss & Quan -- are breaking their silence on the backlash over their newborn's unique name ... telling TMZ they're standing by it and happy to see more couples following suit.

We caught up with the viral YouTube duo in NYC this week, and they admit they were blindsided by the reaction to their son's name -- Secure -- but say the chatter's cooled off now that bold baby names are becoming the new norm.

The couple tells us they thought fans would love the name ... it's meant to reflect the strength and "security" in their relationship, but the Internet, of course, had other ideas.

10/27 8:30 AM PT -- A YouTube spokesperson tells TMZ ... "We terminated the channel @mrcraftypants for violations of our creator responsibility policy."

A popular YouTuber known as "Mr. Crafty Pants" has been arrested after allegedly possessing and trading disturbing sexual images of children online ... according to reports.

Authorities say Michael David Booth, who has nearly 600,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, was taken into custody last week after allegedly sharing explicit photos of minors through the social media app Kik, Wave News reported.

According to an arrest report, obtained by the outlet, Booth allegedly had six explicit images, including three showing children under 12, he is accused of sharing more than 15 times at the beginning of August.

It's safe to say Logan Paul's no longer in his boxing prime -- in fact, his "Impaulsive" co-host Mike Majlak tells TMZ Sports the Maverick's days in the ring are long gone ... that is, unless it's for WWE.

We caught up with the New York Times best-selling author out in L.A. this week, where he told us that his pal Logan's interests are all about wrasslin' these days.

"I think he's going to WWE wrestle for the rest of his life, that's it," Majlak said.

Jake Paul's admittedly nervous for his upcoming tilt with Gervonta Davis, but he tells TMZ Sports he's got a bit of a secret weapon in his corner to help him make sure he's ready -- Shakur Stevenson!

The YouTuber-turned-superstar-fighter revealed to us on Wednesday that Stevenson -- who's had his share of beef with Davis over the years -- is slated to meet with him in just a few days to give him an assist in the ring.

Paul said the two will spar -- and he's hoping it'll get him as prepared as possible for Tank.

Dominique Dunne's star was on the rise -- fresh off the "Poltergeist" movie spotlight -- when tragedy struck ... she was strangled to death by her jilted ex, a chilling Hollywood story that still stuns.

"TMZ Presents: Killing a Movie Star: Grave Injustice" dives into the 1982 murder of Dominique at the hands of her ex, John Sweeney ... and how, after a shocking miscarriage of justice, he went on to terrorize again -- and it's now available to watch on YouTube.

The grave injustice points to Sweeney’s shockingly light sentence -- he was convicted of manslaughter and walked free after just two and a half years in prison ... despite massive public outcry and protests over the verdict.

In the primetime special, we also sit down with Dominique’s brother, Griffin Dunne ... and we confirm his lingering suspicion that Sweeney went on to abuse again -- including a 2000 case when a woman filed a restraining order against him, detailing shocking brutality.

Ready for a revelation? Turns out, YouTubers Daniel Howell and Philip Lester -- better known as Dan and Phil -- are dating!

The pair announced the news about their love lives -- or is it love life? -- in a 46-minute-long video titled "Are Dan and Phil in a Relationship?" on their shared YouTube account ... and according to Phil, the answer is a very simple "yes."

Oh, and here's the kicker -- the two have actually been a couple since 2009, when they started creating content together!

Dan and Phil stated they fell for each other "hard and fast" after they first met, although they didn't put any labels on their romance at first.

It's also worth noting they both came out in 2019 -- just not at the same time. Dan actually claimed he'd been "more than friends" with Phil in his coming-out video, but he decided to keep the actual status of their relationship under wraps, according to Dexerto.

The two were pretty open about having gone through ups and downs just like any other couple, and Dan confessed he'd experienced plenty of homophobia as a child, which didn't exactly encourage him to go public with his relationship later on in life.

Dan and Phil also claimed they wouldn't be changing their content after going public with their romance ... and quipped no one should be afraid of them turning into "couple vloggers in bed."

YouTube star Markiplier just hit a new milestone, but it's got nothing to do with his online activity -- he got married!

The YouTuber -- whose real name is Mark Fischbach -- shared a post on his Instagram account Tuesday to let his fans know he'd tied the knot with his longtime partner, Amy Nelson.

Oh, and get this ... he was able to keep the September 20 wedding under wraps for several weeks!

Markiplier also wrote a short message about his new life as a married man and said he wanted to try for a world record for length of a relationship.

He and his wife have now been together since 2015, when they met in the most romantic way -- through Tinder, obviously!

Markiplier actually admitted their first date didn't go well during an episode of the "Press ESC" podcast, and he stated he eventually reconnected with Amy by chance, after which they became inseparable.

MrBeast's standing by his choice to trap a stuntman inside a burning building for a cash prize ... arguing the guy's a pro and firefighters were on standby ... so, it was all totally safe.

Here's the deal ... the YouTube star recently posted a video which pushed a stuntman to the absolute limit -- firing him out of a cannon, surviving massive explosions ... and even getting tied up in a house before it's lit on fire.

It's this last stunt many people online popped off about ... and, if you watch the clip, it's not hard to see why.

Kai Cenat took his massive online audience on a new adventure over the weekend as part of his "Mafiathon 3" marathon live stream ... and despite how the event would have been to most -- the streamer was cool as a cucumber the entire time.

That's right ... Kai went skydiving, and like pretty much everything else he does on live ... his millions of stream followers were along for the ride ... or fall, rather.

Prior to the jump -- apparently KC's first ever -- his friends and staff held a prayer that he be protected ... and it must've worked ... 'cause the jump went perfectly.

You better make sure your AC's running, because its Olivia Jade's 26th birthday weekend ... and we're commemorating the occasion by sharing some of her hottest shots!

The influencer and YouTube star's been through plenty of interesting experiences through the years -- like getting caught up in a college admissions scandal -- but she's managed to stay flawlessly beautiful the whole time!

Kai Cenat invited the legendary Ice Cube to the Mafiathon 3 explosion and got the OG to rank the new crop of rappers from Kai's AMP Cypher stream of last year.

According to Cube, several of the 'Any Means Possible' posse had potential -- especially streamer Duke Dennis, whose vocals Cube compared to Future's!!!

DD definitely has Future's dreadlocks-and-hot look but, when it came to flow and delivery, Cube couldn't tell the difference!!!

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are getting married soon, but it was them who were the gift bearers on Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 3 stream!!!

Actually, the gift was from Selena, and it was for Kai's sister, Kaiya, who got set up with a grand surprise with all the latest Rare Beauty products!!!

Lil Dicky also joined the hypercharged stream, which had just celebrated having 400K viewers at once, and he, Selena and Benny signed the PC for the daily giveaway that goes to a lucky fan.

David Dobrik is explaining why he's getting back to uploading videos on YouTube ... and he says it's all about getting creative again.

We got the social media star Wednesday at IT'SUGAR at Universal CityWalk Hollywood and our photog asked him the reasoning for his YouTube return.

David's back to uploading vlogs after a three-year break ... but he says he's only going to post videos every other week ... telling us how the landscape's changed in the years since he was uploading multiple videos every week.

South Korean YouTube star Na Dong-hyun, also known as @BuzzBean11, has died ... this according to local news reports.

According to reports, including The Korea Herald, authorities were sent to Na's home in the morning on Saturday, after a friend said he was MIA for a pre-planned meeting and wasn't responding to their outreach attempts.

Britney Spears' divorce from her third husband Sam Asghari left her completely alone ... and we explore the challenges she faced with her family estrangement in the aftermath of her conservatorship in a special documentary that's now on YouTube.
