“We probably won’t be showing much of them...

Shane Dawson is taking the good with the bad. The vlogger posted his first YouTube video in more than a year on Thursday, Oct. 7. His latest series is titled "The Haunting of Shane Dawson," which will follow him and his partner, Ryland Adams, as they ghost hunt in their new home state of Colorado. Additionally, in the first video of the series, the YouTuber addressed his decision to take a step back from the spotlight after controversial clips featuring his use of blackface, the N-word and other offensive comments resurfaced last year. He spoke candidly to the camera, stating that he "wanted to leave the internet and I didn't want to be part" of the vlogging...

Is Shane Dawson returning to YouTube? The 32-year-old content creator hinted at the possibility in his first Instagram post in six months. "Dads left the house," he wrote on June 9 alongside a photo of himself on vacation with Ryland Adams. "Ps. I know I haven't posted a video in a long time and I promise it's not because I don't want to. I'm just trying to stay in a good mindset and be happy. I promise I'm not going to abandon my channel after 15 years of creating. Just been re-evaluating my life the last year and figuring out what I want to do with it. Life is short and I'm grateful for every second of it. Hope you guys are doing well! I miss you! :,)" It's been...

Nearly eight months after his viral "Taking Accountability" video, controversial Internet personality Shane Dawson is getting some attention for something he's said. On Feb. 5, Dawson's fiancé Ryland Adams posted an "Extreme Hoarder Room Makeover!" video in which Dawson made an appearance. While out at a furniture store together, Dawson gushed over a life-size red horse statue. "I want him so much," he said. "Here's the thing—I know that I'm weird and I know that my career is over and I know that I'm just that crazy guy who buys weird toys." Dawson has kept a low profile in recent months, last posting to YouTube and Twitter on June 26, the...

In December, YouTube luminary Shane Dawson and his fiance Ryland Adams shared that they had moved into a new home by posting two house tours on Adams' channel.

Though the property appeared to be lavish -- complete with a farm and movie theater -- the move wasn’t without its difficulties, as the couple was forced to promptly evacuate upon moving in due to the California wildfires, which marked the deadliest and most destructive season on record.

Now, however, Dawson’s previous home has officially hit the market -- and The Los Angeles Times reports that the 30-year-old's Studio City property is priced at a cool $1.699 million. The Times describes features of the two-story “secluded estate” -- which was built in 1953 -- that may sound vaguely familiar to longtime Dawson viewers, including a long, gated driveway; a swimming pool and spa; and a Spanish-style design scheme with Saltillo decking. The...

Days after a curious Twitter controversy in which he vehemently denied having inappropriate relations with one of his pets, YouTube stalwart Shane Dawson has taken to social media to announce his engagement to fellow creator Ryland Adams.

It appears as though Dawson proposed on or around the couple's third anniversary, as he shared several posts leading up to that date. Then, yesterday, Dawson shared a handful of photos of the proposal itself with the caption “He said yes!” Adams added: “We’re engaged! I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I’ve never been happier in my whole entire life!”

Dawson, who has become one of YouTube’s foremost documentarians, came out as bisexual in 2015, and started dating Adams in early 2016. Adams was a former ClevverTV host who has struck out on his own with a massive vlog channel, taking former parent company Defy Media...

Congratulations are in order for Shane Dawson. The YouTube star is engaged to his longtime love Ryland Adams. Dawson announced the happy news via Instagram on Tuesday.  "He Said Yes!!!!!! :,)))))))," he wrote alongside photos from the proposal.  Dawnson popped the question by getting down on both knees and presenting Adams with a sparkly diamond band. His fiancé shared a picture of the new bling on Instagram.  "We're engaged!!" Adams wrote. "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I've never been happier in my whole entire life!!"  The day was certainly a special one for the couple as it also marked their...

After launching his channel roughly a decade ago, Shane Dawson remains one of the platform’s most influential creators today, with long-form programming that has served to re-imagine the bounds of what a YouTube video can be.

On Saturday, Dawson ticked off his latest accomplishment, surpassing 20 million subscribers -- a feat he celebrated with cake and diet rootbeer while slogging away at his next project, Conspiracy Series. “My heart is gonna burst,” he tweeted. “Thank you guys for supporting my channel for so long and for changing my life. Editing today is gonna be even more inspiring.” He also thanked his filmmaking partner Andrew Siwicki and his boyfriend Ryland Adams.

Dawson wasn’t the only creator to hit 20 million subscribers over the weekend -- a feat that has only been managed by 76 million channels to date: Olajide 'Ksi' Olatunji also crossed the milestone yesterday. Olatunji has been on YouTube for roughly eight years,...

YouTube creator and commentator Matthew Patrick -- whose nerd-leaning Game Theorists channel counts 11.4 million subscribers -- was one of roughly 50 creators impacted by November’s Defy Media scandal, whereby the once-prominent multi-channel network and digital studio abruptly shuttered, leaving some 200 employees suddenly jobless.

Days later, it came to light that 50 channels signed to Defy's McN -- including Ryland Adams, Chad Wild Clay, Lisa Schwartz, and Whatever -- were also impacted by the shutdown. Their YouTube AdSense earnings for the month of September, which were set to be paid at the beginning of November, had been seized by the entity that subsequently took control of Defy’s assets..

And now, Patrick is putting a price tag on the amount that he claims was stolen from the 50 Defy creators: a whopping $1.7 million. Patrick also alleges, in a new sit-down confessional vlog, that a top Defy executive knew that the shutdown was imminent,...

YouTube megastar Shane Dawson said last night that he was thrown out of an event held in conjunction with Sundance Film Festival for holding hands with his boyfriend -- fellow YouTube host Ryland Adams.

In a series of now-deleted tweets, Dawson said that he was kicked out of an event dubbed Remind The Nation, according to The Daily Dot, which aims to share the stories of war veterans. It was hosted by the polarizing conservative TV personality Tomi Lahren. Dawson initially claimed that it was Lahren who'd had him booted from the event -- whereupon security tried to break his leg. In the now-deleted tweets, Dawson also claimed to have video footage of the incident, and said he’d reported it to police.
