I just read that Rev Run & his wife Justine lost what would have been their 6th child on the 19th of Sept. :( I am sure Jus is truly devasted b/c she wanted to have a girl by Joey. More sad to know... Here's a brief on it:

TMZ had this lil info - Doctors delivered the baby via c-section, revealing a cruel twist of fate -- the baby girl was born with organs outside the body. The newborn died a short time later.


Did MTV Film The Death Of Rev. Run's Newborn Daughter?

Matthew Borghese - All Headline News Staff Writer
New York, NY (AHN) - Joseph (Rev. Run) Simmons and Justine, his wife, are grieving the loss of their newborn daughter. However, MTV may have caught the death on tape, as a crew was filming the birth for the couple's reality show.

Run's older brother, Russell Simmons, says "I just spoke to Joey and Justine, and they're very strong - the whole family is very strong."

"Being overwhelmed by grief is the normal state of things, but they recognize that it's all God. I don't think they're overwhelmed by grief, but they're struggling."

However, Simmons adds, "I'm sure MTV was there."

According to the New York Daily News, a camera crew from their popular MTV reality show, "Run's House" - which has been renewed for a third season - was in the delivery room when the baby arrived by Cesarean section and died a short time later. An MTV spokeswoman declined to comment.

I have no idea who it is, but it's sad.
Why would they want to do that live on TV anyway? I hate people who do that, because it's private and should stay that way.

Like PMR is for Xzibit Nanou, Run (aka Joseph Simmoms - brother to Russell Simmons of Phat Farm, etc....) also is/was one third of the very legendary hiphop group Run-DMC has a MTV reality show as well. See link above and maybe you will see a lil more into why it was being filmed. I am sure no one expected to have this truly sad beginning for next season.

Yeah I agree it's tragic, but still, whoever it is, famous or not, I think it's going too far. There are boundaries not to be crossed, and that's one that to me, should be kept private. Publishing a few pics after the birth, then yes, but filming the actual labour...yuk!
