Justin Bieber Writes Song About Paternity Scandal

‘I wrote about that situation,’ singer admits during an album listening session Tuesday. By James Dinh Justin Bieber Photo: Lester Cohen/ WireImage Justin Bieber isn’t leaving behind last year’s paternity scandal until he shares his two cents on the allegation — musically, at least. Just a day after his Twitter jab at 20-year-old Mariah Yeater , the pop superstar held a listening session for his new album, Believe, and revealed that the paternity case is just one of many subject matters he covered on the project. According to the BBC , Bieber said his inspirations included “that girl — Mariah Yeater — who said she was going to have my baby,” adding: “I wrote about that situation.” When asked to choose his favorite song on the June 19 release , Bieber struggled to answer. “Every song has a piece of me; it’s hard to pick,” he said. “I wrote almost all of them or co-wrote them.” Yeater definitely played a big part in Bieber’s 2011. The California woman kept the singer at the top of the headlines when she alleged he was the father of her then-3-month-old child. Bieber’s baby-mama-drama track is just one of 40 songs he’s recorded for the LP, which also reportedly features collaborations with Taylor Swift, Ludacris and Kanye West. In another interview during his promotional blitz, the singer dished details about his duet with Drake, even revealing the title of the star-studded track. “The song’s called ‘Right Here’ and it’s a smash!” he told Capital FM . “People are gonna love it. It just rides so smoothly.” Two acts Beliebers won’t see on the album are One Direction and the Wanted, as the star denied rumors of hitting the studio with the teen heartthrobs.

Barney Frank to Retire from Congress

Barney Frank – a 16-term Congressman from Massachusetts and one of the more outspoken politicians of his time – announced yesterday that he will not seek reelection in 2012. Citing a new redistricting map that will include many people he has never represented, along with a desire to do other things in life, the 71-year old surprised many at a press conference in Newton, MA on Monday, saying at one point: “I think I would have won but it would have been a tough campaign. I hate raising money.” Barney Frank Jabs at Gingrich, Romney One of the more polarizing figures in Washington, Frank became the first openly gay man to serve in Congress. He’s been at the center of support and controversy recently, due to his Dodd-Frank law and his pre-crisis support for government housing agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. “The anger in the country… is such that the kind of inside work I felt best at is not going to be productive in the foreseeable future,” Frank said yesterday, referring to a “substantially deteriorated” political climate. “The House of Representatives will not be the same without him,” President Obama said upon learning the news, while Republicans are excited about an open seat in 2012. “It’s not an encouraging sign for House Democrats when a senior member sees little chance of becoming a committee chairman,” said Paul Lindsay, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Lawyer for Mariah Yeater Calls Out Alleged Baby Daddy

The Justin Bieber baby drama carousel continues to spin around and around and around… A day after Robbie Powell claimed to be the father of Mariah Yeater’s baby – even volunteering to take his own DNA test as proof – one of Yeater’s attorneys has spoken out and accused the young man of being a hypocrite for alleging his client is merely after attention and money. Justin Bieber Baby Daddy Debate: The Pulse “If Robbie Powell actually believes and claims he is the father, I suggest he contact me directly,” Jeffrey Leving tells TMZ . “Litigating this case in the media and bypassing Mariah’s legal team only perpetuates the three-ring circus and accomplishes nothing as I see it.” That’s true…and ironic, considering Leving made the statement to the media. Bieber, to his credit, has remained above the fathering fray. He’s issued a couple basic denials, agreed to a paternity test and is now just spending his time spreading holiday cheer via music. Visit the singer’s video section to watch his latest performances!

Video: Jack Wagner Reunites with Daughter

This is a pretty cool story. Earlier this month, Jack Wagner was preparing for a concert in Boca Raton when a 23-year old woman showed up with a photo of her mother, someone Wagner briefly dated in the 1980s. The stranger claimed to be the actor’s daughter – and he welcomed her into his life with welcome arms. The following evening, prior to another show, Wagner invited his just-discovered child on to the stage and introduced her to the crowd. She couldn’t stop weeping as her dad pulled her close and said he was proud of the courage it took for her to track him down… Jack Wagner Introduces Daughter Two weeks after this meeting, Wagner and Heather Locklear called off their engagement because they wanted to spend more time with their children. Makes a lot more sense now.

Mariah Yeater Attorney Demands New Justin Bieber DNA Test

Oy vey. Will this never end?!? Justin Bieber took a DNA test last Friday in order to prove, once and for all, that he did NOT father a child with Mariah Yeater. Justin Bieber Baby Daddy Debate: The Pulse But now attorney Jeffrey Leving is speaking out and saying his client is unhappy with the procedure because no one in her camp was present for it. “We have to make sure the chain of custody is properly supervised,” Leving told E! News, explaining why he wants Bieber to take another test. “I don’t know if it was even his DNA. Evidence has to be properly supervised to make sure it is not corrupted. What I am hoping is to get DNA testing done for everybody and to have it done in a supervised setting.” Yeater, of course, dropped her lawsuit against Bieber last week, but Leving says he’ll have no choice but to “refile” if the parties can’t reach a resolution on the testing issue. Man. These people really are weasels , aren’t they?

THG Week in Review: November 12-18, 2011

Welcome to THG’s Week in Review! Below, our staff takes a look back at the stories, stars and scandals that made these past seven days so memorable.

Now, a rundown of the week that was at The Hollywood Gossip :

Laura Bellizzi Confirms: Mel Gibson is NOT the Father!

Mel Gibson and Justin Bieber can exchange virtual fist-pounds now. Laura Bellizzi , the woman who labeled by various celeb news magazines as Gibson’s baby mama has broken her silence on it, and says it’s just not true. Calling the story one based on “erroneous reports” and “lies and speculation,” the former VH1 reality star says “Mel Gibson is not the father of my child.” Not a lot of wiggle room left in that denial. Laura Bellizzi, a mother and a businesswoman, reportedly dated Mel over the summer, and there are photos of them together . But there was no baby conceived. Any “alleged friends” telling gossip outlets that she’s been privately identifying Gibson as her baby daddy are “being 100% dishonest in a misguided,” she says. Laura lambasted their “efforts to seek 5 seconds of notoriety and fame.” Her rep says she’s “greatly dismayed at the rash of intrusive and irresponsible stories.” Not to worry. Like Mariah Yeater, who dropped her paternity suit against Bieber today, she may now return to total anonymity to raise the child … whoever the father is. [Photos: Pacific Coast News, WENN.com]

Justin Bieber Lawsuit Against Mariah Yeater: Oh, It’s Still On!

Mariah Yeater dropped her lawsuit against Justin Bieber, but if she thinks she’s out of the woods after dismissing her paternity claim, girl can keep dreaming. Quietly, Yeater dismissed the suit last Thursday, after Justin and his team made it clear they would sue Mariah and her lawyers for their “malicious claims.” Guess what? They still are, because even though Mariah Yeater no longer hopes to extort money from the Bieb, she still made the claim in the first place. Justin is not backing down, according to the star’s publicist, Matthew Hiltzik, who says Yeater and her lawyers, who have since quit, will be hearing about this. “We intend to still hold them accountable,” he said. After Yeater claimed Bieber fathered her baby after 30 seconds of aggressive bathroom sex last year, Justin wanted to go after her and set an example that people who file baseless claims against celebrities do so at their own peril. She gave interviews to Star Magazine and The Insider , and possibly others, about the whole thing, too, meaning she basically lied about Bieber and got paid. You can bet she’ll be asked to pay damages REAL fast.

Adele Feeling ‘Positive’ After Throat Surgery

Singer says she’s ‘on the mend.’ By Gil Kaufman Adele Photo: Andreas Rentz/ Getty Images Adele is on the road to recovery after her recent throat surgery. The British singer posted a note to fans on Monday in which she gave them an update on the procedure to remove a benign polyp from her vocal cords. “Sorry I haven’t written for a while. Thank you for all your positive thoughts and get well wishes,” she wrote . “I’m doing really well, on the mend, super happy, relaxed and very positive with it all. The operation was a success and I’m just chilling out now until I get the all clear from my doctors.” Last week the doctors who performed the procedure gave an update on the surgery. “Adele underwent vocal cord microsurgery by Dr. Steven Zeitels to stop recurrent vocal cord hemorrhage (bleeding) from a benign polyp,” read a statement from Massachusetts General Hospital, where the surgery took place. “This condition is typically the result of unstable blood vessels in the vocal cord that can rupture. Based on the advice of her doctor and voice therapist in the United Kingdom, Adele came to Boston to consult and undergo corrective voice surgery with Dr. Zeitels, the Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Voice Center. … Dr. Zeitels expects Adele to make a full recovery from her laser microsurgery.” The surgery used special lasers to stop the vocal cord bleeding and has successfully been performed on other singers in the past, including Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler in 2006. It came after the “Rolling in the Deep” singer scrapped all her remaining 2011 performances and appearances on doctor’s orders. The vocal problems were the latest hiccup in the 23-year-old singer’s plans to tour the U.S., which were previously derailed when she had to call off a string of gigs due to a bout of laryngitis. While fans won’t be able to catch Adele live anytime soon, they can check out her first live concert film, ” Live at Royal Albert Hall ,” which hits stores on November 29. The nearly 90-minute event focuses on her singing , eschewing the typical backstage vignettes, interviews with fans and confessional moments. Related Artists Adele
