Justin Bieber lands the cover of V magazine‘s music issue and the soon-to-be-18-year-old talks about growing up and incorporating more mature subjects in his music.

“People need to know I’m not a kid anymore,” the pop star said. “I’m still learning. I’m not going to try to conform to what people want me to be or go out there and start partying, have people see me with alcohol.”

The “Baby” singer says he’s not planning on over-hauling his public image in the blink of an eye, he’s going to take his time. Respect is his long-term goal.

“I want to do it at my own pace,” Bieber told V. “I don’t want to start singing about things like sex, drugs and swearing. I’m into love, and maybe I’ll get more into making love when I’m older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody.”

Bieber’s shoot for the magazine is done by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and he was styled by Lady Gaga‘s pal and Thierry Mugler creative head honcho Nicola Formichetti.

Biebs wears an ivy crown, a Roman helmet and lots of Mugler designs. Check out all the pics below.

Baby, baby, baby oh!

Justin Bieber‘s paternity suit has been quietly dropped by Mariah Yeater, the fan who claimed Justin fathered her 3 month old son.

TMZ is reporting that Yeater’s San Diego attorneys have withdrawn from the case after a call from Bieber’s legal eagle, Howard Weitzman, threatening everyone with a lawsuit.

However the NY Daily News spoke to Yeater’s new attorney who says the lawsuit is withdrawn only because there is a new strategy involved thanks to Yeater’s safety being compromised by overzealous Bieber fans but she is still intent on proving JB is her child’s father with a paternity test.

“In light of death threats directed toward my client, strategies have been reviewed. The San Diego case has been withdrawn, and we’re trying to settle out of court with Bieber’s counsel. We’re working out a DNA test confidentially,” said Jeffrey Leving, a Chicago-based custody lawyer who is working with Yeater.

He continues to say that the San Diego litigators were changed out for Los Angeles based attorneys, there was no resignation by any involved and that it’s Belieber’s death threats that are changing how the suit proceeds.

“I did not resign. I still believe my client,” he said, adding that Yeater’s San Diego lawyers have been replaced by John Carlson from the Los Angeles firm Carlson & Greenberg.

“I originally wanted a judge to order a DNA test to make sure the test’s chain of custody was safeguarded. But the reality is that that was before these death threats escalated. And they’ve gotten so out of control, maintaining strict confidentiality is something we have to try. If this doesn’t work, and we can’t work it out, we can always re-file,” Leving said.

Yeater has asserted in court documents that she met Bieber backstage at a concert in 2010 and the two had sex in a bathroom. She was 19 at the time and claims that the then 16 year-old Justin told her he was a virgin.

Bieber has maintained his innocence and professes to never have laid eyes on Yeater, let alone have sex with her.

“Never met the woman,” Bieber said.

“I’d just like to say that none of those allegations are true. I know that I’m going to be a target, but I’m never going to be a victim.”

So it appears the DNA test is still on when Justin returns to the U.S.

Justin Bieber collected a couple more trophies at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2011 in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Sunday, November 6th.

Bieber also performed “Never Say Never” and his new Christmas song “Mistletoe” for the crowd in the Odyssey Arena.

Bieber, who is facing a paternity suit in the U.S., didn’t let the legal issues get in between him and his girlfriend, Selena Gomez from enjoying the visit.

The two were hand in hand the day before shrugging off break-up rumors and Mariah Yeater baby drama.

Justin Bieber isn’t taking the paternity suit brought by Mariah Yeater lying down.

The 17 year-old went to the Today Show to talk to Matt Lauer, Ann Curry and Al Roker telling the hosts he can’t possibly be the father of her baby because he doesn’t know her.

“Never met the woman,” Bieber said.

“I’d just like to say that none of those allegations are true. I know that I’m going to be a target, but I’m never going to be a victim.”

Yeater, who is 20 years-old now, alleges in the suit that she met and had sex with Bieber in October of 2010 after a concert in Los Angeles at the Staples Center.

Bieber’s team says the suit is “malicious,” “defamatory” and “demonstrably false.”

But Yeater’s lawyers told Dr. Drew on his HLN program that not everything has come to light in the media yet and they believe their client.

“We think that’s highly unlikely based on the evidence we have, not all of which has been released to the media,” Yeater’s attorney Michael Pare said. “There’s credible evidence that supports he is the father.”

At the time, Bieber would have been 16 years-old and Yeater, 19. She also claims that it was Bieber’s first time, it lasted about 30 seconds and she wanted him to wear a condom but he refused.

It’s also possible, if the allegation is true, that Yeater could face statutory rape charges because of Justin’s age at the time of the encounter.

Her lawyers countered “that has no bearing whatsoever on the right for child support.”

Is Justin Bieber a daddy?

One young woman has reportedly filed a lawsuit claiming the “Baby” singer is the father of her 3 month-old.

Mariah Yeater, 20, is said to have met the 17 year-old Canadian pop star backstage after a Los Angeles concert at the Staples Center in October of 2010 where the two had sex and she left with a permanent reminder of her one night with the Biebs.

“On July 6, 2011, I gave birth to a baby boy,” Yeater said in court documents. “That was exactly 36 weeks and two days after the sexual encounter with Justin Bieber. Based upon the timing as well as the fact there were no other possible men that I had sex with that could be the father of this baby, I believe that Justin Bieber is in fact the father of my baby.”

Yeater claims in the documents she tried to contact his reps, but has never heard back from anyone.

Justin and his representatives aren’t taking the accusation lightly, denying them and saying they will take legal action.

“While we haven’t yet seen the lawsuit, it’s sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims,” Matthew Hiltzik, JB’s rep said. “We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.”

Bieber’s response has been through twitter:

“with this album [he released Under the Mistletoe on Tuesday] Im giving portion of the proceeds to #charity … Im trying to help #GIVEBACK..nothing will stop me from that focus. NOTHING”

He continued “so Im going to ignore the rumors…and focus on what is real. an opportunity to help by doing what i love. Judge me on the music! Love yall!”
