Justin Bieber's Paternity Suit Dropped By Fan Who Claimed 30-Second Sexual Encounter With Star

Not Justin Bieber's Baby, Baby As Paternity Suit Dropped

Justin Bieber's week just got a whole lot better with news that the paternity suit brought against him by a fan has been dropped, according to TMZ.com

The 17-year-old superstar had agreed to take a paternity suit, following Mariah Yeater's claims that she had become pregnant following a brief encounter - 30 seconds to be precise - with him after a concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

However, his lawyers always called the claims "fabricated and vindictive".

TMZ.com report that lawyers acting for the 20-year-old woman have withdrawn the lawsuit, which demanded the star take a DNA test, and pay monthly maintenance for her four-month-old son.

Bieber made it clear it was business as usual following the initial suit, appearing at the MTV EMA Awards in Belfast last week, turning on the Christmas lights in West London and escorting his girlfriend Selena Gomez on a romantic tour of Paris.

But, his good humour apparently deserted him in London yesterday, where he was caught giving paparazzi a defiant finger-gesture as he left a Knightsbridge restaurant.

Here is our Slideshow of the superstar whose wholesome image has been quickly restored...
