Report: Justin Bieber is ready to take a paternity test

I really hoped that this week would bring fresh, new, icky scandals. But it looks like we're stuck with Kim, Justin and Lindsay for just a bit longer. Here is Justin doing his serious-, sad- and disappointed-face at the MTV Europe awards last night. Such range. (Dave J Hogan/Getty Images)

Justin isn't messing around. He's going to bring the full force of his army of lawyers down on Mariah Yeater and her ill-thought-out money-making schemes. TMZ has this: "Justin Bieber will take a DNA test in two weeks when he returns to the United States to prove he is not Mariah Yeater's baby daddy - and after that, Justin and his team are going after her in court ... sources directly connected with Justin tell TMZ. Justin is in Europe now so he can't take the test until he returns ... but he is determined to put an end to what he says is a bogus scandal. Our sources say Justin's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, contacted Yeater's attorneys Friday and conveyed the DNA test WILL happen. We're told Justin and his team are so serious ... they directed Weitzman to find a lab to do the test and Weitzman has already selected one. Once the test shows Justin is not the daddy, Justin and his team will sue her. We're told Yeater's lawyers appeared "nervous" when they heard the news. This may explain why Yeater's lawyers went underground yesterday and did not return TMZ's calls. Sources say Bieber and his team think it's important to file a lawsuit against Yeater to show there are consequences when somebody trumps up phony, hurtful allegations against a celebrity."

Meanwhile, the charming Mariah Yeater, already a pro at saying "no comment," sat down with The Insider (the lovely photo of Ms Yeater is from that one time when she was arrested for Battery Domestic Violence, Injury/Destroying Property and Threatening Telephone Calls):

Radar has this and video: "The 20-year-old California woman who's claiming Justin Bieber is the father of her 3-month-old son breaks her silence this week in an exclusive interview with The Insider, telling the TV newsmagazine Bieber “went from cute and gushy to just ... more aggressive” prior to having sex.Mariah Yeater says she got pregnant with her son Tristyn after 30 seconds of unprotected sex with the Never Say Never star in a backstage bathroom at the Staples Center in Los Angeles following a concert in October of 2010. Yeater described to the show how the tryst developed: "He immediately took a liking to me and we just got to talking and then he eventually asked me, 'Do you mind if we can go somewhere and be alone?'" Yeater said the place Bieber, then-16, wanted to be alone with her "turned out to be a bathroom, and his whole demeanor changed.” Asked what she exactly has to back up her claims, Yeater said she's provided evidence to her attorneys. "It'll show in court to prove that my allegations are true," she said, declining to go into detail about her evidence. The Insider confronted Yeater on a recent interview with a security guard who claims that on the night in question, Bieber's dressing room was full of friends and family, and that he was with Bieber the whole time and walked him to the car. Asked for her response on the guard's claims, Yeater said, "No comment." Yeater claims in court papers first reported by Star magazine that her roll-in-the-hay with the teen heartthrob was "brief, lasting only approximately 30 seconds” and that Bieber "was clearly embarrassed about how the sex did not last very long.” Her son was born in July; a child support hearing is scheduled for December 15."

UPDATE: "The lawyers for Justin Bieber's accuser, Mariah Yeater, have finally surfaced, and they're telling TMZ they are happy Justin has decided to take a DNA test, and they're not scared that Justin and his team are determined to sue the woman. Lance Rogers and Matt Pare  tell TMZ, "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 lawyers add, "The paternity suit was filed in good faith and it will continue despite the threats."

Oh. My. God. Some people shouldn't even have kids. There gene pool should just end there. I feel sorry for the kid.

Ms. Yeater's "proof" will be that she knows how to count from 30 to 0 backwards. Blast off!

She's full of it. Justin hasn't reached puberty yet.
