(CBS) Justin Bieber has dismissed a woman's allegations that he is the father of her child, and now he reportedly wants to take a DNA test to prove it.

TMZ reports that the 17-year-old heartthrob will take a paternity test in two weeks, when he returns to the United States.

According to the website, Bieber's team plans to sue Mariah Yeater after the test proves he is not the father. The report did not say what kind of lawsuit will be filed.

Yeater filed a paternity suit against Bieber in San Diego Superior Court, claiming that he is the father of her 3-month-old son. She reportedly alleges that the two had a sexual encounter after one of his concerts last fall.

Bieber referenced the baby drama at the MTV EMA Awards on Sunday night in Belfast, Ireland, where he performed and picked up two awards.

"There's been a lot of crap on the Internet," he said backstage, according to reports.

During an appearance on the "Today" show last week, the singer said he had never met Yeater and that "none of those allegations are true."

He probably created this publicity stunt because his voice is going down the tubes so bad that even the tweens are beginning to notice.

My question is why are they not filing charges against her for having sex with a minor?

Good. I sympatize with him if he is truly not the father, but this will resolve this issue quickly. Of course wait for some smart-a lawyer to question the science behind the paternity test. I am afraid we are going to find a confused and mentally ill woman at the end of this.

It does seem to me that nobody would agree to voluntarily take a DNA test unless they knew with utmost certainty that it would prove their innocence.

If he doesn't take it, he looks guilty. It could be that they think she has been with other men, and are just hoping that it turns out not to be him.

Nobody knows if he had sex with her or not. and the DNA test is court ordered. If it comes out that he is the father, he'll have to eat his words.
