BULLY PULPIT

Just about everyone knows someone who has been bullied, in ways big and small. Understandably, though, many victims are reluctant to speak about their experiences. We found some who aren't.

To keep you up to date on some of the latest baby-daddy news, and to revisit some old favorites:

First Justin Bieber covered a Weezy song, now it seems news reports have the Biebs covering the rapper's real- life drama. In case you don't remember, the rapper was hit with his paternity suit last fall when a woman claimed he was the father of her 8-year-old son. According to the boy's grandmother, the family had tried to contact the star earlier, but some crucial documents from the case were lost in Hurricane Katrina, delaying the process for years. The grandmother finally got a court order requiring Weezy to take a paternity test in September 2010. Unfortunately for her, Lil Wayne was finishing up his prison sentence at Riker's Island at the time, so the test had to be delayed again until he was a free man. When the test finally was performed, it confirmed he had another Lil' one to take care of. Didn't they teach him in eighth-grade health class "how to love" safely?

Bieber's baby-daddy accusation, which he calls "sad and untrue" still hangs like a cloud over his head, awaiting the paternity test he promises to take when he returns from Europe.

Did y'all know that Billy Ray Cyrus had a baby out of wedlock? Or that Miley Cyrus was the bundle of burden? 

The early 1990s was a momentous period for Billy Ray. That's when he climbed to country music superstardom thanks to his hit single Achy Breaky Heart, and obviously something else broke as well; he impregnated two women. Cyrus later married one of them, and their baby grew up to be You Know Who. He denied he was the father of the second woman's child until a blood test proved otherwise. According to a 2009 interview with the Mirror, that kid, named Christopher Cody Cyrus, now works for minimum wage and receives the occasional text and backstage pass from his ex-famous dad and famous half-sister. It really is a genetic lottery.

Just who was the King singing about when he crooned, "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog?" In March 1971, six years before his death atop a toilet, Elvis Presley allegedly slept with an audience member (you listening, Justin?) in Tulsa. NIne months later she gave birth to a baby boy and claimed he was Presley's. DNA testing didn’t exist yet but Elvis established a $2 million trust fund for when the boy  turned 24, just in case. They don't make baby daddies like they used to.

Although Eddie Murphy has played wonderful, involved fathers in many movies, he seems to have no trouble separating his work life from his personal life. Translation: Downer dad. Murphy had a thing with ex-Spice Girl Melanie Brown in 2006, and she became pregnant. He told the press not to jump to conclusions and that he would only know whose kid it was when the baby came out and had a blood test. Well, he took the blood test. "EDDIE MURPHY, YOU ARE THE FATHER!"
But even with the proof, Murphy refused to see his daughter 'Angel' until he invited Melanie and the by-then 3-year-old to the premiere of Shrek the Third. Better late than never, I guess.
