Even if Mariah Yeater doesn't submit her baby son Tristyn's DNA for testing, he said, he "wanted everything to be out there in the open."</p> <p>(Yeater's attorney told TMZ on Wednesday that, yes, the child will be tested. And, no, they weren't pleased that the singer had his own test done without Team Yeater supervision.)</p> <p>Whoopi Goldberg noticed Bieber's faint moustache, but the whole gang failed to give him a chance to explain it: It's Movember, the grow-a-'stache-in-November campaign that each year aims to raise money and awareness for men's health issues, including prostate cancer.</p> <p>Oh, well, ladies, it's coming off soon: "End of November I'm gonna shave it," he told "The View" cohosts, "... and then it'll take another year and a half to grow  back."</p> <p>Wednesday night on "Late Night With David Letterman," Bieber went into a little more detail about the DNA test, which was done at a lab in New Jersey with what his reps said was a clear chain of custody.</p> <p>Letterman wanted to know, during the test, was he unconscious, and was any disrobing involved? Bieber appeared to want to know what disrobing actually was -- but, hey, cut him some slack, the kid's only 17 -- and since, as he explained, the test involves only a swab of the inside of the mouth, Dave was looking a little like a crazy old guy.</p> <p>Justin's Thanksgiving message, when he finally took a break from "Under the Mistletoe" promotion? "thankful for my friends, family, and fans," he wrote on Twitter. "thankful for everyday. thank U."</p> <p><strong>RELATED: </strong></p> <p>Justin Bieber gets some sugar on the soggy AMAs red carpet</p> <p>For Justin Bieber, loyal Beliebers may be the best birth control</p> <p>DNA test looms for Bieber, text sent by Mariah Yeater casts doubt on baby-daddy claim</p> <p>— Christie D'Zurilla<br/>twitter.com/dzurillaville</p> <p><em>Photo: Justin Bieber, left, and Usher on NBC's "Today" show on Wednesday in New York City.
