Mariah Yates "Justin Beiber 'Mommy" faces charges

LAS VEGAS -- A San Diego woman who claims pop star Justin Bieber fathered her 3-month-old son has a court date in Las Vegas on allegations she slapped an ex-boyfriend.

Court records show 20-year-old Mariah Yeater faces a bench trial Dec. 12 on a misdemeanor battery charge that could get her six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. A police report says Yeater slapped her 18-year-old ex-boyfriend Dec. 21, 2010. The two were arguing about a window broken on the car of the his new girlfriend. The case was first reported by TMZ. Yeater's lawyer in the battery case, John Spilotro, says she pleaded not guilty, and he declined to comment further. Yeater attended school in Las Vegas before withdrawing from 10th grade in 2008. She is suing the 17-year-old Bieber in California, seeking a paternity test and child support.

Justin Beiber on Rolling Stone Cover

Justin Bieber has been uncomfortable talking publicly about girlfriend Selena Gomez, but he apparently has no problem discussing sex which seemsto be the case with his newest Interview held with Rolling Stone.
"I don't think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them," the 16-year-old  has declared in an interview featured in the March 3 issue of Rolling Stone,which is available on shelves now.

Although despite his strong Christian background, the teen sensation didn't say he's against pre-marital sex.  "I think you should just wait for the person you're ... in love with," he told the magazine when asked about abstinence.  Carrying the conversation even further on the issue of homosexuality, Bieber said, "It's everyone's own decision to do that. It doesn't affect me and shouldn't affect anyone else."

But on the topic of abortion that is a whole different matter. "I really don't believe in abortion," he revealed. "I think [an embryo] is a human. It's like killing a baby" and while he thinks it's "really sad" for a woman to become pregnant after being raped, he noted that "everything happens for a reason."  "I don't know how that would be a reason," he conceded. "I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that."

The Canadian singer also tackled another hot-button issue for many: healthcare in the United States.
"We go to the doctor, and we don't need to worry about paying him, but [in the U.S.], your whole life, you're broke because of medical bills," he said. "My bodyguard's baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby's premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home."


If it seems strange for this teenage singer to talk about such adult issues, but let us for one minute consider that he's hardly a typical teen in hardly typical teenager circumstances.

"I hate paparazzi," Bieber told the magazine. "They're stalkers with a camera. If someone's following you, that's automatically a crime, but if they have a camera, it's okay? I don't agree with that at all."
He also doesn't attempt to understand his fans' sometimes odd or unusal behavior, namely their obsession with his every sungle move.

"I really don't know why they're acting that way," the crooner admitted. "And you know what? I don't think about it. My attitude is, why ask questions when things are going so well? Ain't no questions that should be asked in this situation! They love me, and that's it."

But Bieber said he also knows that their love may not last forever.
"I don't think of myself as powerful. If anything, my fans are powerful," he said. "It's all in their hands. If they don't buy my albums, I go away."

Justin Bieber and Vanity Fair

Ok, Vanity Fair did it Justin Bieber on the cover and on the inside of the issue.  For some reason this one sits oddly for me.  Maybe it is the idea of promoting Justin as a sex symbol for 2011.  For me the problem is he is only sixteen years old.  Now i am not being a prude because I am sure for many young girls he is a stud, but does that justify a cover for a fashion magazine?  Maybe it is my generation growing up with Tigerbeat Magazine.  You have to be a certain age to remember Tigerbeat and its photo shoots of all the up and coming hotties and the centerfolds we could hang in our bedrooms of Shawn Cassidy.

But Tigerbeat was geared towards teenagers, about teenagers not Vanity Fair.  Maybe I am old fashioned but are we as "general consumers" expected to by into Beiber as a model of sex appeal at sixteen?  Granted many others in his age range have been used as sex symbols but I don't believe it was for "mass consumption".

Why do I even bring any of this up?  For some it could be a BIG warning sign that we are destined for what is happening already in fashion.  That the thirteen to eighteen year old waif model is the ideal for many women the planet over.  That no woman can live up to that ideal of the under one hundred pound teen girl fashion model unless she is a teen girl as well. 

Could this kind of thing also happen for men?  That the teen age boy becomes the role model for men the planet over?  What does Justin himself think about any of this?  What do his parents think or say about all of it?  What affect does being a sixteen year old sex symbol do to your self confidence and ego?  Will aging play out a huge part of Justin's emotional undoing?  Some say yes, some would say look what fame did to the childhhod of someone like Michael Jackson.

Don't get me wrong I am not saying what has happened is wrong or even right it just seems unusual for a major magazine to promote a sixteen year old as a a sex symbol, or have I missed the others?  Well until next time I am so glad we had this time together.
