Teenage pop sensation Justin Bieber has undergone a paternity test. The 17 year old Canadian, who has just released Christmas album Under the Mistletoe, has vehemently denied the claims of a fan, Mariah Yeater, that he is the father of her four month old child, who she claims was conceived in a 30 second encounter backstage at one of his concerts last year. He has taken the DNA test to prove his innocence, and says he will take legal action against Yeater once he does so.
Bieber's fans, known as the beliebers, are the most rabid, obsessed bunch of supporters in the world, so it's not surprising that one of them has imagined she had a child with him. Selena Gomez has recently received death threats from beliebers who are jealous at her relationship with him.

Justin Bieber willing to take paternity test
Helium voiced 17 year old pop star Justin Bieber has said he is willing to take a paternity test to disprove the claims of a woman who has claimed in a lawsuit that he is the father of her child. Bieber is adamant he has never met Mariah Yeater before and is willing to take the tests to prove it.
Asked about the paternity suit, Bieber said: "All this stuff is dealt with by my legal team. But if they want me to (take a paternity test) then I will." On whether he was worried about the lawsuit ruining his reputation, he said: "Not at all … When these people's lies are eventually exposed, it's them who end up looking bad not the artists. My fans, as always, have been great. I really can't ever thank them enough for all the support they always show me. I really do think I have the best fans in the world - I could not ask for anything more."
