Justin Bieber baby mama drama gets spoofed by Jimmy Fallon on 'Late Night'

Jimmy Fallon spoofs Justin Bieber's Baby Baby Baby with his version It's Not My Baby on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on NBC.
Jimmy Fallon poked fun of Justin Bieber's paternity lawsuit with '(It's Not My) Baby.'
Despite saying he was going to "ignore the rumors" after getting slapped with a paternity lawsuit, Justin Bieber appeared on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" to clear up the air.

Well, sort of.
Wearing the pop star's signature baseball cap and mopped-top, host Jimmy Fallon resurrected his hilarious impersonation of the Biebs and took to the stage to perform an updated version of his hit song "Baby," appropriately dubbed "(It's Not My) Baby."

"You said we did it, and I'm a dad. My lawyer's tripping, 'cause this looks bad. You only said this to get my cash. Now Selena Gomez is going to kick my a--," Fallon sings in Bieber's high-pitched voice. "It's not my baby, baby, baby. Oh-oh, it's not my baby, baby, baby."

"You said I didn't use protection, I only lasted 30 seconds. But that's not true. No that's a lie. It was totally more like 45," the funnyman continues to croon, before breaking out some impressive dance moves.

While the audience found the sketch hilarious, Bieber may not be a fan of the situation in general.

In a lawsuit filed Monday, the 17-year-old singer is accused of having sex with Maria Yeater, 20, backstage at his L.A. concert in October of last year. Yeater claims Bieber fathered her child, a son named Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater, who was born three months ago.

Yeater claims that when she discovered she was pregnant, she tried to speak with Bieber's representatives, but was unsuccessful. She wants the singer to take a paternity test to "scientifically confirm" he's the dad, according to documents.

A spokesman for Bieber vehemently denies the allegation.

"While we haven't yet seen the lawsuit, it's sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims," he said in a statement. "We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations."

Following the shocking claim, Bieber took to Twitter to say he's going to "focus on the positives."

"Im going to ignore the rumors...and focus on what is real," he wrote Wednesday. "an opportunity to help by doing what i love. Judge me on the music! Love yall!"

$245M Powerball Winning Ticket Sold in Connecticut

When the lights finally come on in one Connecticut home, one family will be cheering a bit louder than the rest of the block.

Powerball has a winner and the ticket matching all six winning numbers — 12, 14, 34, 39, 46 and 36 — was sold in Connecticut Wednesday night.

The winning ticket is worth $245 million, the largest payout in the state. The winner, however, may not be aware of his or her luck because hundreds of thousands of Connecticut residents remain without power five days after last weekend’s snow storm downed power lines. More than 430,000 residents, mostly in the north central portion of the state, are still without power.

The twice-weekly Powerball is played in 33 states and territories. It hasn’t had a top winner since Sept. 14. The lottery’s pot resets to $20 million Saturday.

In January, the game will undergo a few changes including ticket prices rising to $2 and the jackpot doubling to $40 million.

On Wednesday night, 19 tickets matched the first five Powerball numbers. They were sold in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Ohio and Wisconsin. Those winners will receive $200,000 a piece.

Jeremy Mayfield had meth, guns and $100k in stolen goods

Jeremy Mayfield arrested for meth, guns and stolen goods

Police in Catawba, North Carolina went to former NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield's house on Tuesday night with a search warrant to follow up a tip that there might be stolen property on the house. What they found was a trove of illegal goods, including methamphetamine, forty firearms and nearly $100,000 worth of stolen goods.

Mayfield was arrested on possession of methamphetamine, but the latest reports reveal what else officials found on the scene.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office told CBS affiliate WBTV that detectives found dozens of guns, 1 ½ grams of meth and a number of items that had been reported stolen from a trucking company in Lincolnton, N.C.

The firearms ranged from antique guns to high-powered rifles. The guns are currently being run through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Fireams and Explosives gun tracing system to determine if any were reported stolen.

The stolen goods included heavy machinery, scrap metal, welders, engraving machines and electric motor components.

All the goods were reported stolen by two trucking companies: Lee Boy Inc. and Larry Grant Inc.

Tom Weese, of Lee Family Real Estate, LTD, told WBTV that roughly $65,000 worth of items were stolen from his business last year. He recovered most of his goods Tuesday night after Mayfield's arrest.

"To me they were just thieves," Weese told WBTV. "They just wanted to steal stuff."
The investigation is still ongoing, and Weese believes there will be more arrests to come.

"It wouldn't even be possible for one man to conduct an operation like this," he said. "It's unbelievable that the operations they had going on down there."

Mayfield was suspended from NASCAR indefinitely after failing a random drug test in May 2009. The result stemmed from a test at Richmond International Raceway.

The driver's career began in 1994, and Mayfield posted multiple top-ten finishes throughout his career. His best year was 1997, when he finished 13th in total points driving for former Ford executive and NASCAR team owner Michael Kranefuss.

Following his suspension, Mayfield denied reports that he was using illegal drugs and claimed the results of this test were not accurate. In unsuccessful legal challenges, he claimed the results turned up positive because he took over-the-counter allergy medicine and Adderal for his Attention Deficit Disorder.

Mayfield is currently out of jail on a $3,000 bond.
