While you were watching the GOP debates and the OWS protesters getting kicked out of Zuccotti Park, the course of human history was silently shifting under your very nose. Mariah Yeater, the young woman who was allegedly impregnated by Justin Bieber after unprotected sex in a bathroom, "quietly" dropped her paternity suit against the pop star last week, says TMZ. After reports emerged that Yeater had also accused her ex-boyfriend of fathering her child, Bieber's defense team threatened her with a counter-suit and her lawyers withdrew from her case. So much for what would have been the coolest Maury paternity-test reveal of all time.

Although the paternity suit was a blow to Bieber's squeaky-clean image, Yeater's claims seemed sketchy from the start. A sixteen-year old boy who regularly wears purple velvet sweatpants doesn't seem likely to tell a woman he "wants to fuck the shit out of her" in a men's restroom, as Yeater claimed; if she'd said he asked her to play Lazer Tag, or go glow-in-the-dark bowling, or give him a handjob under a Navajo blanket while watching Glee in his basement, then maybe her story would've been more believable.

Still, we all really wanted to believe that Yeater was telling the truth about Bieber, for the same reason the tabloids love pointing out Lindsay Lohan's coke boogers: we love putting youth, beauty, and (questionable) talent on a pedestal, only to knock it right the fuck off. With the suit out of the picture, it's going to take a few more opportunistic Yeater-types coming forward and a crystal-meth possession charge to bring an end to Bieber fever, but that probably won't stop people from trying.

Yeah, this case sounded bogus, but if you think 16 year old boys aren't interested in fucking the shit out of people, then you are living on another planet.

His hair is a marvel of engineering. And I guess he was a fan of Barney or Prince growing up. I'm glad Selena Gomez's nightmare is over.

Sounds like she got paid something under the table to "drop" the case.

"we love putting youth, beauty, and (questionable) talent on a pedestal, only to knock it right the fuck off" -- maybe you do, but I don't. The more of these frivolous accusations there are, the harder it will be to prosecute legitimate accusations.

I'm pretty sure the author meant "we" as in American culture...throughout history, it's obvious that anyone who is famous or admired for anything will shortly be accused of being crazy, ugly, stupid or unappealing and disdainful in someway. Example: Britney Spears was America's sweetheart/sex symbol, then everyone hated her for cheating on Justin and she subsequently went nuts and the media spoon-fed it to the American people, who ate it right up.

@jess: not to worry. The case is nowhere near over. According to her lawyer, since Beiber has agreed to take a paternity test, there is no longer a need for a court order, so we may yet see them on Maury. (http://goo.gl/43sfV).
