Justin Bieber says that claims he is the father of a three-month-old baby is similar to David Beckham being accused of infidelity.

The 17-year-old spoke to Britain's Star magazine following allegations that he had a sexual liaison with Mariah Yeater backstage at one of his concerts last year which resulted in her getting pregnant.

But the Somebody To Love singer says that although it is commonplace for celebrities to have false reports about them, he doesn't think it's right and it is not just him that it has happened to.
'I don't think it's just me that is target,' he told the publication.

It happens to lots of people in the industry. David Beckham went through some similar stuff recently, and you just wonder how these publications can keep being allowed to get away with this stuff.'

Justin says that the 20-year-old fan who claimed she had a '30-second tryst' with him is just doing it for fame.

'I guess for attention,' Justin said of Mariah's allegations. 'But it's not something I am interested in. These people are not worth my thought or time.'

Justin has been dating girlfriend Selena Gomez for nearly a year and says that she too is accustomed to dealing with the pressures of being well known and is handling the baby allegations well.

'She is doing great ' like me she just ignores things,' Justin revealed. 'She had to get used to some pretty horrible stuff being said about her on Twitter when we first got together, and since then she has just learned to ignore all the rubbish that is written about us.'

Justin added that he is not worried about his reputation being tarnished as his family and fans have been very supportive and 'dismissed [the allegations] as the rubbish that they are.'
