Steve Bing

This was much before Liz Hurley became an In dian bahu. After her much publicised split with actor Hugh Grant, Hurley met producer-director Steve Bing, the scion of one of the wealthiest families in America. Things seemed rosy till Liz announced her pregnancy the following year, declaring Bing to be the father of her unborn child. But then Bing refused to accept the child as his, claiming the Bedazzled star had not been “exclusive” during their relationship. That’s when the Brit bombshell burst Bin’s bubble with a pa ternity suit, forcing him to take a DNA test which proved that he was indeed the father. Her son Damian now has a new father in the form of Arun Nayar

Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson isn’t far from trouble these days. Recently, a young Australian woman named Carmel Sloane threatened to drag the Hollywood superstar to court and subject him to a DNA test, claiming he had impregnated her mother Marilyn on a mattress in the back of his car in 1976, long before he became famous. Carmel also claimed that her own 10-year-old son bore a striking resemblance to Gibson. Already the father of seven, Gibson may eventually have to go in for a DNA test to clear up the mess

Larry Birkhead

When Anna Nicole Smith died leaving behind her seven-month-old daughter Dannielynn and a vast fortune, there was a mad scramble among her numerous boyfriends in a bid to prove who had fathered the girl (and so who would inherit the fortune). This included Howard K. Stern, the former Playboy Playmate’s companion before death, and Frederic Prince von Anhalt, husband of ageing Hollywood sex symbol Zsa Zsa Gabor. A high-profile paternity case and a DNA test later, celebrity photographer Larry Birkhead was pronounced to be the father

Chris Rock

Funny man Chris Rock didn’t find the allegation that he had fathered Kali Bowyer’s 13-year-old son Jordan amusing at all.
The director of I Think I Love My Wife and the brains behind the hit television series Everybody Hates Chris willingly undertook a DNA test which proved him right — he wasn’t the father of this child after all
