Justin Bieber shook up the 2012 Billboard Music Awards Sunday night (May 20) with a swagtastic performance of his new single “Boyfriend,” the first offering from his next album “Believe.”

Watch below:

Some of the biggest names in music/entertainment were on hand to attend the 2012 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Celebs who posed it up outside on the red carpet included singers Usher, Justin Bieber, Brandy, Miguel, Monica and Robin Thicke; rappers Wiz Khalifa and Swizz Beatz; and many others.

Take a look at the pics below!

R&B superstar Usher and his Pop/R&B protege Justin Bieber — who are both gearing up for the release of their new albums — share the cover a special edition of Billboard Magazine.

Usher also poses solo on a separate cover for the same issue, in which the singer talks about growing as an entertainer and more.

Check out an excerpt (via Billboard.com) below:

He also has new management behind him. Grace Miguel of Coup D’Etat/URIV Group now heads up his management, taking over from AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips, who briefly managed Usher after the star relieved his mother, Jonnetta Patton, of managerial duties a second time in late 2008.

“I see this record continuing the artistic journey Usher began the first time he was recognized for fusing sounds with Lil Jon to create ‘Yeah!’” Miguel — [GOT Note: Usher's rumored girlfriend] — says. “Usher revels in the challenge of expansion and is courageous enough to take risks to grow as a performer.”

“In life we have to grow,” Usher says of his management changes, “and one thing that’s been beautiful is that I’ve been able to grow along with my mother and people of my past. They’re proud of me as I move forward, and are able to acknowledge the work I’ve been doing and say, ‘I like what you’re doing, and I like that you’ve been able to pick it up and continue to move on.’”

Both Usher and Justin Bieber are also scheduled to perform — separately, of course — at this year’s Billboard Music Awards on May 20th.

Usher’s next studio album “Looking 4 Myself” is set for a June 12th release, while Justin Bieber’s third project “Believe” (preceded by the hit single “Boyfriend”) will be released a week later on June 19th.

Justin Bieber gave the first live performance of his new single “Boyfriend” Tuesday night (May 8) on the the season finale of NBC’s “The Voice.”

Dressed in a studded black jacket with gold high-top sneakers, the 18-year-old Pop star was dripping in swagu as he took the stage, showing off a grown-up swagger to go along with his more mature lyrics.

Watch Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend” performance below:

Justin Bieber is all grown up now!

The 18-year-old singer shows off his grown man swag as he pushes nice whips and flirts with a Selena Gomez look-a-like in the music video for his new single “Boyfriend,” the first offering from his upcoming third album “Believe.”

The video’s release comes after weeks and weeks of teasers and anticipation from his fans. At the last minute, the Biebz decided to scrap the first version of the video — shown in the first 30 seconds of the clip — and went for something a bit more “mature.”

“I kind of switched it up from all the teasers,” Bieber told MTV News‘ Sway Calloway about what fans saw of the video before its premiere. “I switched up the whole video on them, and really, I think it’s super cool. I wanted to do something a little bit more mature.”

Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend” video is also being compared to NSYNC‘s “Girlfriend” video, which both have similar themes and concepts.

But when asked about the comparisons, Justin said of the ‘Girlfriend’ video, “I haven’t seen it.” Though he admits that he is “definitely” influenced by Justin Timberlake.

“He was young, and he did it, and he was really amazing and had such amazing music,” Bieber told MTV. “I can’t say that I would be upset when someone compares me to him.”

Justin’s next album “Believe” is due in stores on June 19th.

Check out his “Boyfriend” music video below:

Apparently, Justin Bieber doesn’t want to let sleeping dogs lie.

It’s been almost six months since the last time we heard from the girl who once claimed that Justin fathered her child, but thanks to the singer’s taunts on Twitter, Mariah Yeater’s name is back in the headlines.

The “Baby” singer tweeted, “Dear mariah yeeter…we have never met…so from the heart i just wanted to say…” and then linked his message to a video of Borat repeatedly saying “You will never get this. You will never get this. La la la la la…”

In October of last year, Yeater claimed that she got pregnant after having a sexual encounter with Bieber backstage at one of his concerts in L.A. when she was 19 and he was just 16 years old.

The story spiraled out of control and forced Bieber to take a paternity test to prove he was not the father. Eventually the lawsuit was withdrawn by Yeater’s camp and the two went their separate ways … until now, that is.

Maybe the Biebz is just returning the drama?

Despite their busy schedules, Justin Bieber and his girlfriend Selena Gomez found some time to spend together. The couple were spotted sitting courtside at the Lakers vs. Spurs game Tuesday night (Apr 17) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Gomez — who is a Texas native — was cheering on the San Antonio Spurs and tweeted, “LET’S GO SPURS!!! LET’S GO!!” in the middle of the game.

Throughout the game, Justin was seen kissing all over Selena, and eventually, both Pop stars leaned in for a kiss at the urging of the cheering crowd.

The couple’s kiss was caught on the Staples Center’s world-famous “Kiss Cam,” and the crowd went nuts, according to eye witnesses.

Apparently caught off guard, Selena looked embarrassed and hid her face after she noticed she and Justin were being filmed on the big screen.

After coming up for air, the couple took a few photos with a young fan who was seated next to them, and gave her a big hug.

As for the game, Selena’s team beat the Los Angeles Lakers, 112 to 91.

Check out a bunch of pics of her and Justin Bieber courtside below:

The Biebz is back!

Justin Bieber returns to the Pop music scene with “Boyfriend,” the highly anticipated first single from his upcoming sophomore album “Believe.”

The now 18-year-old Pop sensation shows off a more mature and urban sound as he not only sings, but he also raps on the Mike Posner-produced track, which kind of has a Justin Timberlake-esque vibe, and is being compared to the Ying Yang Twins‘ “Whisper Song.”

Take a listen below!

Sean Kingston has been accused of attacking a woman during his supporting act stint on Justin Bieber’s 2010 tour.

After landing at LAX on a flight from Miami earlier this week, 22-year-old Kingston was officially served, according to reports from Radar Online:

Beautiful Girls singer Sean Kingston has been served with a civil summons and complaint in connection with a lawsuit to be filed alleging he was involved in the gang attack of a woman. Kingston…was served Friday night with the legal docs, linked to an incident that allegedly occurred after a concert in 2010 in which Kingston opened for the Baby singer.

[Radar]

The private investigator who officially served the legal documents told Radar reporters he had no comment and was at LAX on official business.

There has been no official word released from the Kingston camp as of yet.

Kind of hard to believe a big ol’ teddy bear like Sean Kingston could ever lay hands on a woman, don’t you think?

SMDH … This is a crying shame!

A Denver police officer is facing criminal charges after violently attacking his girlfriend for hitting him with Justin Bieber doll. (WTF?!?)

Back in January, Michael Nuanes Jr. was arrested for punching his 42 year-old girlfriend in the ribs, pulling her hair, and beating her with a piece of a broken bathroom door he had kicked in.

Michael Nuanes attacked his girlfriend after she hit him with a Justin Bieber doll.

Nuanes claims he snapped after the woman had “thrown a ‘Barbie Doll’ at him, which bruised his foot and [said] that it hurt.”

“Nuanes pointed out a ‘Justin Bieber’ doll, which was the item used to injure him,” the police report stated.

He also claimed she kicked him, choked him and bit his finger.

No charges have been filed against the woman, but Nuanes, on the other hand, is facing charges of misdemeanor assault causing injury and property damage.

He is also being put on desk duty with the Denver Police Department because a protection order related to the domestic violence case prohibits him from carrying a gun.

What kind of man — better yet…a frikkin POLICE OFFICER — jumps on a woman for throwing a Justin Bieber doll at him??

So much for counting on law enforcement to do the right thing!

Your thoughts?

Today (Mar 1) is Justin Bieber‘s 18th birthday, and the Pop Star chose to celebrate the momentous occasion by appearing on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

While there, Justin announced the release date and name of his new single, which he says he co-wrote with songwriter/producer Mike Posner, and he also received a very expensive birthday gift from his manager Scooter Braun.

“You work really really hard. I always yell at you don’t get anything flashy. You know, we’re not about that. Be humble, be humble and I kind of broke my own rule,” Scooter said, building suspense.

“So we wanted to make sure your were environmentally friendly and we wanted to make sure since you love cars that when you’re on the road you are always environmentally friendly and we decided to get you a car that would make you stand out … I think you know where I’m going and you’re kind of freaking out right now. That’s a Fisker Karma,” he told a shocked and speechless Bieber.

The Fisker Karma is an environmentally friendly sports sedan and is one of the most sought after cars in the world with an estimated $100,000 price tag.

“A very hard to get car,” Ellen explained.

Check out a couple of clips from Justin’s appearance on “Ellen” below:

Justin Bieber is back in the studio doing what he does best! And last night, the pop star received a special visit from his big bro Lil Wayne.

We see JB is still getting much love from everyone in the industry. It’s gotta feel good to be that kid!

“People need to know I’m not a kid anymore,” Justin Bieber declares in his cover story for the latest issue of V Magazine, where the Pop star, who is approaching his 18th birthday this March, talks about the pressure of coming of age in the spotlight.

He continued, “I’m not going to try to conform to what people want me to be, or go out there and start partying, have people see me with alcohol. I want to do it at my own pace.”

“I don’t want to start singing about things like sex, drugs and swearing,” said the teen heartthrob, who is currently in a very public relationship with Selena Gomez. “I’m into love, and maybe I’ll get more into making love when I’m older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody.”

The Biebs recently made headlines when he got a huge tattoo of Jesus’ face on his leg, however, he insists, “I don’t consider myself religious. I haven’t been to church in a long time.”

While Bieber admits that he doesn’t go to church, he says he still has a personal relationship with God.

“I don’t think I’m religious. I am spiritual,” Bieber told the high fashion magazine. “I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I believe that He put me in this position, and that I have to always give Him the glory He deserves for putting me here. But I don’t consider myself religious.

“A lot of people who are religious, I think they get lost. They go to church just to go to church. I’m not trying to disrespect them – you know, whatever works for you. But for me, I focus more on praying and talking to Him. I don’t have to go to church. I haven’t been to church in a long time, but I know I have a relationship with Him. I talk to Him, and that’s all.”

As far as his career and work ethic are concerned, Justin knows that he needs to “buckle down” and get serious now that he’s growing up.

“I’m going to be honest. I’m young and I’m not as disciplined as I need to be,” he said. “If I have a day off, I need to be in the dance studio, but instead I’m hanging out with my friends. But when I’m in my 20s need to buckle down and work as hard as these other people.”

He continued, “Eventually, I want to become the best at what I do. I want to be the best. In the world. I want to be better than anybody that’s ever done it. I don’t want people to think of me as just a teen sensation. I want to transition, and become the greatest.”

Justin knows that will be no easy task though, and there are lots of people that hate him “just because.” But he’s not worried, and is confident that his talent will be enough to eventually win over the haters.

“A lot of people say they hate Justin Bieber who haven’t listened to any of my music,” he admitted. “They just hate me because the hate the idea of me. I’m young, I’m handsome – I don’t mean to sound conceited – but they think I just got here because of that.”

He added, “I feel the more put out, the more people will realize it’s really good music. I’m not worried about the guy fans because they are going to come. It’s not a fluke that I’m here. I’m here for a reason, and I’m here for a lifetime.”

So there you have it, folks. Justin Bieber is going to be around … FOREVER!!!

Justin Bieber, who will celebrate his 18th birthday next month, is all grown up, and is featured on the cover of V Magazine‘s first ever music issue.

Labeled as “Pop’s Crown Prince,” Justin strikes a pose in a mesh-knit black Dolce & Gabbana sweater on the cover, and inside the magazine is a spread photographed by Inez & Vnoodh and styled by Lady Gaga associate Nicola Formichetti.

“I want to be successful and be great and what I do,” Justin tells the high fashion magazine. “But eventually, I want to become the best at what I do. I want to be the best. In the world. I want to be better than anybody that’s ever done it. And in order to do that, I need to strive to be the best, be good to people and treat people with respect, and work as hard as I can.”

As for what he likes to do in his free time, JB said, “I just hang out with my friends, go to the movies. In L.A., I go to Jaden’s all the time.”

Check out Justin Bieber’s first ever high-fashion magazine spread below:

Justin Bieber showed off a brand new tattoo Thursday (Jan 5) when he was spotted hanging out with his dad Jeremy Bieber and a few friends at a pizzeria in Los Angeles.

Adding to his collection of religious ink-work (a dove on his hip and a Hebrew script of Jesus’ name on his rib cage), JB’s newest tattoo is a huge picture of Jesus’ face, and it covers most of the backside the 17-year-old singer’s upper leg.

The “Baby” singer has yet to comment on his newest tattoo, though in the past he has been very open about his religious views.

“I’m a Christian; I believe in God, I believe that Jesus died on a cross for my sins,” he told Billboard in an interview last November. “I believe that I have a relationship and I’m able to talk to him and really, he’s the reason I’m here, so I definitely have to remember that.”

Justin Bieber kept a promise he made to Ellen DeGeneres by visiting an underprivileged elementary school in Las Vegas.

During his visit to Ellen’s “adopted” school, Whitney Elementary School, the Pop singer donated at least $100,000 worth of toys and presented the school with a $100,000 check. He also performed for the students who were very happy to see him.

The Dream has obviously made some serious dough after writing hit singles for big name acts like Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber and others.

But none of the checks he’s received from his skills as a songwriter compare to the $15 million the famed producer/hit-maker banked following the success of Rihanna‘s hit single “Umbrella,” which he co-wrote with Jay-Z and Tricky Stewart.

The Dream, who also professionally goes by his government name Terius Nash, made the big money revelation while talking to UK radio personality Tim Westwood just before the Holidays.

“That record is probably somewhere around $15 mill,” he said in the interview, where he also confessed that he ‘gave’ his former wife Christina Milian writing credit on Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” you know … just to be “generous.”

He went on to joke: “I’m just trying to pay the bills, man. I got child support bills, I got old wives’ bills, I got new wives’ bills. I’m working on my third wife, so I gotta pay those bills.”

Speaking about the night he wrote Bieber’s mega hit ‘Baby’, The-Dream explained: “I was in my building at Def Jam and my friend Chris Higgs who was A&R-ing the project at the time said he wanted me to write a song for Justin Bieber.

“I said, ‘OK. You pay for my hotel room and I’ll write you a record’. He was like, ‘No, we’re not paying for your hotel room’. So I was like, ‘OK, I’m not going to write you a record’.”

He added: “So I guess everybody thought about it for a while and then they were like, ‘OK, we’ll pay for your room’. My hotel room is usually $3,200 per night, but my percentage for hit-and-miss is pretty high, so I was like, ‘Just pay for it’.

“I went to the studio that night and made the beat and the melodies. I let Christina Milian try the first verse melody and basically finished the track.”

Asked if Milian tried to claim a credit for the song, the producer replied: “She didn’t have to claim anything. I gave her a percentage of it.”

Questioned on whether she got the credit because she wrote the melody, The-Dream quipped: “No, that was just because I’m generous.”

On Saturday (Dec 17) Jimmy Fallon proved to be one of the years best “Saturday Night Live” hosts!

After an amazing season that included the likes of Melissa McCarthy, Emma Stone, and Jason Segel…..this week’s episode (hosted by Jimmy Fallon) was not only one of the funniest but it also included some serious cameos.

Fallon is known for his uncanny interpretations of celebrities and he lived up to his reputation, spoofing Justin Bieber, Russell Brand, Sting, and more.

The multi-talented comedian and king of late night also groped Amy Pohler, sang, danced, and even competed in a joke-off with former “Weekend Update” co-host Tina Fey.

Watch the videos below and decide for yourself if Fallon was the best host this year!

In addition to being able to rent out the Staples Center for dates with his girlfriend, flirt with every hot female celebrity there is, and sing Christmas carols with Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, Justin Bieber also doesn’t have to worry about getting traffic tickets.

According to reports, the teen Pop sensation was pulled over in his famous “Batmobile” ride yesterday by LAPD for making an unsafe left turn at an L.A. intersection.

But lucky for the Biebs … he was let off with a simple warning after “promising to be more careful in the future.”

This marks the second time JB has been stopped in the “Batmobile” and only given a warning.

Must be nice!!!

The Obamas were joined by a host of celebs — including Jennifer Hudson, Justin Bieber, Cee-Lo Green, Conan O’Brien, Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice and The Band Perry — as they all got into the festive spirit Sunday (Dec 11) in Washington D.C. at the annual Christmas in Washington ceremony.

“This is the season to celebrate the story of how, more than two thousand years ago, a child was born to two faithful travelers who could find rest only in a stable, among cattle and sheep,” President Barack Obama, who was accompanied by First Lady Michelle and the First Daughters Sasha and Malia, said near the close of the concert, which was hosted by Conan O’Brien.

“He was no ordinary child,” Obama said. “He was the manifestation of God’s love. And every year we celebrate His birth because the story of Jesus Christ changed the world.”

Singers Jennifer Hudson, Justin Bieber, Cee-Lo Green, Conan O’Brien and Victoria Justice took turns singing classic holiday tunes like “This Christmas,” “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” “Let It Snow,” “Do You Hear What I Hear,” “Away In a Manger,” “Silent Night” and several others during the concert, which is set to air on TV this Friday (Dec 16) on TNT.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez seemed more in love than ever as they shared a kiss at a recent wedding ceremony in Los Cabos, Mexico.

The beach-side wedding, held Friday (Dec. 9), was for a friend of Selena’s (You can put your pitchforks down now Bieber fans!) … and the young couple stayed close together while Selena, dressed in a halter neck sapphire blue dress, carried out her duties as a bridesmaid.

In keeping with the casual nature of the ceremony, Justin went for a relaxed look with a cream blazer with the sleeves rolled up, a simple white V-neck T-shirt, a pair of green capri pants with the legs rolled up (and his signature “sag”), which he paired with black Vans tennis shoes.

PHOTOS: Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Spotted Getting Cozy Poolside in Mexico

According to reports, Selena met the bride, Shannon Larossi, on the set of her hit Disney Channel show “Wizards of Waverly Place,” where Shannon was a costume designer.

Though Justin wasn’t a part of ceremony, naturally, since he’s “Justin Bieber” and all, he was still involved with the wedding photography and posed for lots of photos with his girlfriend and the rest of bridal party.

Check out the pics below:

A shirtless Justin Bieber kicked it poolside in Mexico yesterday (Dec 7) with his hot girlfriend Selena Gomez, who was definitely dressed for the part in blue bikini.

The happy couple are reportedly in Mexico for a friend’s wedding, but before attending the ceremony, the pair of lovebirds spent the earlier part of the day hanging out by the pool at their hotel where they did “happy couple” things … like smiling and making googly eyes, and taking pictures of each other.

Justin Bieber spread a little holiday cheer on the UK version of the “X Factor” this week by performing a live rendition of “Mistletoe” from his “Under the Mistletoe” Christmas album.

Right in the middle of his performance, the 17-year-old singer, living up to his teen heartthrob title, walked up to the panel and sang some of the flirty lyrics to female judges Kelly Rowland and Tulisa Contostavlos, who both couldn’t hide the bright smiles plastered on their face.

Watch below:

Justin Bieber accidentally flubbed the lyrics to the popular Christmas tune “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” while performing on the “Today” show this week. More »

Justin Bieber accidentally flubbed the lyrics to the popular Christmas tune “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” while performing on the “Today” show this week.

The young Pop star, joined by his mentor Usher, made an appearance on NBC’s “Today” Wednesday morning (Nov 23) and performed a few songs from his newly released Christmas album.

During his performance of “Santa Clause is Coming to Town,” the 17-year-old entertainer blanked out midway through and forgot the lyrics to the song, simply simply repeating the lines “He’s making a list” and “He sees you when you’re sleeping” to fill in the gaps.

Instead of singing “He sees you when you’re sleeping,” the Biebz accidentally sang “He’s making a list.” Then, when he was supposed to say “You better watch out,” once again, he said “He’s making a list.”

At one point, Bieber, dressed in a festive red and cream snow flake-patterned sweater worth $1,650 and jeans that sagged below his waistline, just let the backing track guide him through some of the song, leaving a few moments of awkward silence. (Hey … at least we know he’s wasn’t lip-synching!)

Even though he messed up a few lines during the performance, the star refused to let the mistake stop the show and continued on with his performance unfazed. Honestly, if you’re not really paying attention, you won’t even notice the few blips.

The song, among a few others he performed, like “Mistletoe” and “The Christmas Song: Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” (featuring Usher), appear on Bieber’s first Christmas album “Under the Mistletoe,” which the Today show noted is the first album from a male recording artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Watch Justin Bieber’s full “Today” Show appearance below:

Watch the video below:

Justin Bieber has reportedly followed through with his plans to take a DNA test to disprove Mariah Yeater‘s claims that he’s the father of her newborn son.

TMZ has all the details below:

We’ve learned … Justin took the test at a lab under “very controlled circumstances.” We’re told there is a solid chain of custody, so it’s going to be hard for Mariah Yeater or her lawyer to challenge it.

As we first reported, Justin’s team will NOT settle or even discuss settlement with Yeater or her lawyer. It’s now up to her to provide DNA results from Mariah’s baby.

Justin has vowed to sue Mariah and her lawyers once he establishes he’s not the daddy.

What do you think the paternity test results will say?

Justin Bieber dropped by “The Breakfast Club” this morning and of course with Charlamagne Tha God in the building….things got way over PG-13!

During his visit….the Pop crooner spoke on everything, from the baby mama allegations, to taking Selena Gomez to the Staples Center, to working with Drake and Kanye on his new album, his favorite rapper being Tupac, and more.

If there was an award for the best way to close out an awards show, it would definitely go to LMFAO!

Last night at the 2011 American Music Awards, the Hip-Pop duo performed their smash hit single “Party Rock Anthem” alongside teen Pop sensation Justin Bieber as they closed out the show.

After LMFAO and the Biebs finished shuffling, actor David Hasselhoff, Will.i.am, and YouTube sensation Keenan Cahill, joined them to finish off the performance with the group’s latest single “Sexy And I Know It.”

Watch the highly entertaining performance below:

Justin Bieber chose to bring a little Christmas cheer to the 2011 American Music Awards in L.A. last night with a performance of his Holiday-themed song “Mistletoe,” taken from his Christmas album “Under the Mistletoe.”

Take a look at Justin Bieber’s AMA performance below:

The 2011 American Music Awards took place at the Nokia Theater L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California last night (Sun. Nov 20).

The annual showcase of American music was quite the star-studded spectacle too, with red carpet appearances from the likes of Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Soulja Boy, Taio Cruz, Miguel and many more.

Take a look at over 20+ photos from the red carpet of the 2011 AMAs below:

A pissed off Justin Bieber flipped off photographers as he and his team left a restaurant in the UK earlier this week.

The 17-year-old Pop star and his entourage had been eating dinner at Mr. Chows in London just before he gave cameras a “one-finger” salute.

He didn’t explain why he did it and it was not apparent what had angered him to make the offensive gesture.

Wearing his blue Golden State Warriors baseball cap low and pulling the collar of his cream jacket up over his mouth he clearly was in no mood to stop and talk.

Maybe he had a bad fortune cookie after his Chinese meal?

[Daily Mail]

This isn’t the first time the Biebs has given photogs “The Finger” either. He infamously gave paparazzi the middle finger back in March after they hounded him while he was on a date with his girlfriend Selena Gomez on his 17th birthday.

“Had a great bday and at the end of the night we got surrounded by paps and i reacted in a way i know better. im sorry #killthemwithkindness. [...] It’s not always easy but i know better than to react in anger,” JB tweeted the next day.

Wonder what’s got him so pissed off this time around though?

Mariah Yeater‘s paternity suit against Justin Bieber is still on, despite reports claiming otherwise.

Earlier today, a report from TMZ claimed that Yeater’s lawyers had smartened up and withdrawn from the case, and the suit was quietly dismissed last week.

But according to Radar Online, Chicago lawyer Jeffrey Leving says that Yeater is still moving forward with the suit, and they still want Justin to waste his time and take a paternity test to see if he’s the father of Yeater’s 4-month-old son Tryston.

“I did not step down and there is a legal team,” Leving, a paternity attorney, explained over the phone with WGNtv in Chicago. “She believes Justin Bieber is the father. Right now there’s no more interviews for Mariah Yeater, I’m not going to allow that.”

He continued, “Secondly, negotiations are going on right now with Bieber’s counsel and we’re trying to negotiate a private, secure DNA test with the same safe guards that would exist if there were a court order, but without a court order. The case is completely out of control and I don’t want something terrible to happen to my client or her child.”

He added, “My goal is that when the DNA test is completed, which I believe it will be…my goal is to keep everything confidential so the results will remain confidential.”

Does this help you get into the Holiday spirit?

The 2011 MTV Europe Awards were held Sunday night (Nov 6) in Belfast, North Ireland.

The show, which was hosted by singer/actress Selena Gomez, is held annually to highlight European music, and also draws A-List stars from the United States. This year’s show featured appearances and performances from Gomez’s boyfriend Justin Bieber, Taio Cruz, David Guetta, Bruno Mars, Ludacris, LMFAO, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and more.

Mariah Yeater has spoken out in her first interview since filing a paternity suit against pop star Justin Bieber.

The 20 year-old sat down with Kevin Frazier from “The Insider” and gave details on their alleged tryst, and how the Biebs whole demeanor changed once they got backstage.

“When we got to what turned out to be a bathroom, his whole demeanor changed. It went from cute and gushy to, just, more aggressive,” she said.

It was reported earlier today that Justin Bieber will take a paternity test next week when he returns to the U.S. from Europe to prove that he is not the father of Yeater’s 4 month old son. He will also due Yeater and her lawyers once the tests come back negative, reps for the singer stated.

But Team Yeater isn’t afraid of the wrath of Team Bieber.

Lance Rogers and Matt Pare released the following statement on behalf of their client:

“We are encouraged that Justin Bieber will voluntarily take the paternity test. That is the only way to definitively determine who the father is. The paternity suit was filed in good faith and it will continue despite the threats.”

Well let the games begin!

In an extreme effort to prove that he is not the father of crazed fan Mariah Yeater‘s four-month-old son, Justin Bieber will reportedly take a paternity test as soon as he gets back to he U.S. from Europe next week.

17-year-old Bieber, who has vehemently denied the 20-year-old fan’s claim that he impregnated her, saying he never even met her, will most likely sue Yeater and her attorneys as well, to show them that they can’t mess with the Biebs and get away with it.

“It’s disappointing that people would stoop so low, but somebody needs to stand up to them,” a source close to the situation told People.

Before it was confirmed that Bieber would take the paternity test, L.A. family attorney Steve Mindel (who is not involved with the case) said in an interview, “If Bieber indeed never met this woman, a DNA test may be the only way to clear his name.”

However, if by some chance Bieber does end up being the father of the newborn, Yeater, who is seeking financial support from Bieber, will “hit the jackpot,” L.A. family law attorney Lynn Soodi (also not involved with the case) said. “She could potentially receive tens of thousands of dollars in monthly support until the child turns 18. By law, a child is entitled to live the same standard as the father.”

A rep for Justin Bieber told People in a statement:

“It’s sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims. We’ll vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to protect Justin and to hold those involved with bringing this suit accountable for their actions.”

Do you think Justin Bieber can rap?

Justin Bieber has finally spoken up about those nasty baby rumors that popped up this week, and says he never even met the 20-year-old “fan” who claims she has a 3-month-old baby by him.

The 17-year-old Pop star appeared on NBC’s “Today” show this morning to promote his new Christmas album, and took that time to deny the allegations that he is the father of Mariah Yeater‘s newborn son.

“I never met the woman,” Bieber told the ‘Today’ show hosts.

“I know I”m going to be a target, but I’ll never be a victim,” he said. “Every night after the show, I go right from the stage to my car. So it’s crazy that people want to make up such false allegations. But to set the record straight: None of it is true.”

But Mariah Yeater’s lawyers stand behind their client, claiming that they have “credible evidence” to prove that her allegations are true.

They said, “Mariah Yeater is pursuing a modest and rightful claim. There is credible evidence that Justin Bieber is in fact the father of her baby. The evidence will be revealed in court … She is not seeking exorbitant compensation. She merely requests that Justin Bieber provide a DNA sample to verify that he is the father of Mariah Yeater’s baby, and, if so, to help provide child support as required by California law.”

However, if Mariah’s story is “true,” she could be facing some statutory rape charges (and jail time), because in it, she claims she was 19 years old and Justin was 16 at the time.

According to the California law, sex between someone over 18 and under 18 constitutes statutory rape.

So for her own sake, Mariah just needs to quietly let this go away.

Justin Bieber may have a song called “Baby,” but the 17-year-old and his people say that he did NOT father one with a 20-year-old female fan who claims the Biebs lost his virginity to her backstage at a concert before he started dating his now girlfriend Selena Gomez.

Mariah Yeater also claims that Justin is the father of her 3-month-old baby and is seeking financial support from the singer.

But Justin Bieber has dismissed those rumors, calling the paternity allegations “rumors” and “gossip.”

“All the rumors…the gossip….Im gonna focus on the positives….the music,” the teen Pop sensation tweeted along with a link to purchase his new Christmas album on iTunes.

A source close to Bieber says aside from the fact that Yeater is at least 3 years older than Bieber, and could get charged with statutory rape charges if this whole thing were true (The legal age for consensual sex in California is 18), the woman’s story doesn’t even make sense.

“The kid is never alone. There’s always someone with him,” the source says. “He’s never met this woman.”

Continuing ongoing promotion for his newly released (as of today) Christmas album “Under the Mistletoe,” teen Pop sensation Justin Bieber dropped by “Chelsea Lately” last night to talk about that and more, including how Obama can’t even get away from Bieber Fever and more.

The Biebs also hilariously danced around questions about his girlfriend Selena Gomez and how he shuts down arenas and theaters just to have a romantic date with her, while also flirting with host Chelsea Handler and (almost) tricking her into thinking she was wearing a necklace he bought her.

Check out the funny interview below:

Just when we thought the news couldn’t get any crazier than Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ divorce.

A 20-year-old California woman is claiming Justin Bieber is her babby daddy!!

According to Star magazine, Mariah Yeater filed court documents saying that she had a sexual encounter with the pop star after he performed a sold-out concert at L.A.’s Staples Center on October 25th.

She now wants the Biebs to take a paternity test and is asking for him to provide adequate support for her three-month old baby.

At the time … she claims to have been 19, while the Biebs would have only been 16. (Which could get her in a lot of trouble for having sex with a minor … this girl isn’t very smart at all!)

Read up on how she allegedly got knocked up by JB below:

“After waiting for a short period of time with several young women, Justin Bieber appeared and engaged me in conversation. Immediately, it was obvious that we were mutually attracted to one another, and we began to kiss.

“Shortly thereafter, Justin Bieber suggested that I go with him to a private place where we could be alone. I agreed to go with him and on the walk to a private area, he told me he wanted to make love to me and this was going to be his first time.

“After walking away from the other people backstage, Justin Bieber found a place where we could be alone — a bathroom. We went inside and immediately his personality changed drastically. He began touching me and repeatedly said he wanted to f*ck the sh*t out of me.

“At the time I asked him to put a condom for protection, but he insisted that he did not want to. In his own words, he said that because it was his first time he wanted to feel everything. Justin then quickly took off my clothes. He was on top of me with my legs around him. At the time I was on top of some type of shelf. The sexual intercourse itself was brief, lasting only approximately 30 seconds.”

Sounds like a deranged groupie to us. Selena get these tricks in check!!

Justin Bieber dropped by “Jay Leno” and spoke on collaborating with Mariah Carey, being less fortunate before he found fame, his new Batman ride and more.

During a recent interview with a Washington radio station, Justin Bieber said that he believes that Senator Amy Klobuchar should be “locked up” because of her bill that would make it a felony to illegally stream copyrighted content on sites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

“Whoever she is, she needs to know that I’m saying she needs to be locked up — put away in cuffs,” Bieber told Hot 99.5 host Kane. “I just think that’s ridiculous.”

Klobuchar’s bill, known as the “Bieber Bill” or S.978, the Commercial Felony Streaming Act, states:

Makes unauthorized web streaming of copyrighted content a felony with a possible penalty of up to 5 years in prison. Illegal streaming of copyrighted content is defined in the bill as an offense that “consists of 10 or more public performances by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copyrighted works” and has a total economic value, either to the copyright holder or the infringer, of at least $2,500.

Justin Bieber’s mainstream success today stems from his fame via YouTube years ago when he became well known after videos of him singing covers of R&B songs went viral, which explains why the young Pop star has clearly taken offense to the Bieber Bill.

Also taking offense to the bill is a group called “Fight the Future,” who have launched a website (FreeBieber.org) that shows dramatized photos of Justin Beiber behind bars along with the words “Justin faces 5 brutal years in prison.”

But Sen. Klobuchar’s spokeswoman says Bieber fans have nothing to worry about. The Biebs won’t be going to jail, even if the bill miraculously gets passed.

She sent USA Today the following statement:

“Justin Bieber must have been misled about the content of this bill. It’s not about people posting their personal work on the Web. This is common sense legislation that passed through the Judiciary Committee with no objection from either party. The bill only covers the intentional commercial theft of things like books, commercial music, and movies, including foreign piracy.”

Sounds like that still applies to Justin Bieber to us. Most of the videos are of him singing OTHER people’s songs, not his own. He didn’t even get his “own” music until he got signed.

Regardless of the fact, the bill is stupid and is completely unnecessary, and therefore should not be passed.
