That really is tragic. I will keep that family in my thoughts!
ETA: To all the folks who have seen this before- would something like that not show up in the ultrasound? Wouldn't there be sme indication?

There's a thread in one of the general forums where we are discussing this, and I think we're all  . Many people are saying that they only got one ultra, and that would have been too early to tell. I got three (and I thought that was standard), and I would have thought Run would have top OBs that would insist on three, and top insurance that would pay for 3.

I really don't know, because the mother of this particular child had no prenatal care.  . It seems like it should though.

I remember having more than 1 ultra also. I would also think Run would want more than one.

Didn't in one of the eps Justine mention that she had to go for tests once she found out she was pregnant to make sure everything was okay?
It's tragic anyway you look at it.

Regarding Rev. Run, if this is true, MTV better NOT run any footage (I've read rumors that they may have delivery room scenes). That would be so tacky and horrible.

That would make sense. But all the frenzy just increases the attention/suspicion.

I had one ultrasound.
But I feel for that family. How sad.

Patty Jackson's 411 for the week of September 25th, 2006
Bobby Brown is finding life hard to live without Whitney Houston. His wife of 14 years has filed for divorce, and now he has nowhere to go. Bobby needs money, a car (he reportedly tried to get a TV Network to give him a new car, they turned him down), and he needs a home. Bobby is saddened by the breakup, and he realizes that he has to get his life together. Bobby recently spent time in Las Vegas with Boxer Mike Tyson. Tyson was overheard encouraging Bobby to keep his head up and look for work. Bobby needs money, and he is going to look to his wife to get it. Whitney does not have the money she used to have. Her earnings have dried up with lavish spending on cars, homes, drugs and Bobby’s family. Whitney may have to file for bankruptcy to protect her assets in a divorce. Bobby could ask for a percentage of her past and future earnings.
Jenny Craig calling Tyra Banks! The CW network is coming down hard on its biggest star. The supermodel has been ordered to lose weight. Since Tyra stopped modeling and started her talk show, she has gained about 50 pounds. According to published reports, the network feels she is putting on too much, and she doesn’t have a great personality to go with the weight gain. If Tyra doesn’t comply, she could lose her show America’s Next Top Model. Tyra is top heavy. When you are top heavy, it tends to make you look heavier. Plus, TV puts 10 pounds on you. I think Tyra looks fine. Sometimes her wigs look crazy, but she looks healthy. Will she lose weight?
Eddie Murphy says he’s in love, but hold up on those wedding plans. For the past four months, Eddie has been dating Singer Mel B of the Spice Girls. She has a 7-year old daughter. He recently divorced his wife Nicole, and they have five kids. He also has a child from a previous relationship. Eddie dated quite a few ladies since his divorce from Nicole (Robin Givens and Shaun Robinson of Access Hollywood), but it was Mel B who won his heart. A few of Eddie’s friends were worried about him moving so fast. When Eddie would mention marriage, they would urge him to slow it down. Last week, stories came out involving Mel B and a London lap dancer. The dancer claims she and Mel B had a steamy encounter after she gave her a lap dance. Did this revelation cause Eddie to back down on the wedding talk? Does Mel B still have a chance of being Mrs. Murphy?
Remember “Miss Cleo,” the TV psychic with the thick Jamaican accent? In the late 90’s, she was the Queen of the infomercials with her psychic claims. Then she was exposed. She wasn’t a super psychic. She was a super fake, an actress from Los Angeles. Well “Miss Cleo” has a new revelation..... she’s gay. In an interview with the Advocate magazine, she revealed she is a lesbian. “Miss Cleo” says she kept it secret for years because she was afraid of how her family would react.
This past week, Debbie Rowe got a major court victory. The ex-Mrs. Michael Jackson took on her powerful ex-husband and won. She is going to get her money, and she is going to get to visit her kids. Years ago, Rowe signed away her rights to her children, Prince and Paris, for millions of dollars. Michael got tired of shelling out money to Rowe. When she went on TV to talk about their life, he cut her money off. Debbie struck back. She had heard enough stories involving her ex and young boys. She realized she made a huge mistake giving her children away, and now she wanted them back. Rowe and Jackson have been battling for years over these children, and now she will have a chance to be a mother to her kids. Paris and Prince have no idea who Debbie Rowe is. They have only met with her a few times. Rowe won the court battle when a judge ruled that she was the only biological parent. Michael is just the custodial parent. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm! I guess this confirms that Rowe’s children were inseminated by someone else, a Caucasian male perhaps.
Star Jones is going after the tabloids: leave her and her husband alone! Did Al leave Star? Star says no, despite the fact that he hasn’t spent any time with her and hangs out with his male friends. Star says she is emotional and stressed out, and she wants the stories to stop. According to her spokesperson, she is planning to sue the tabloid over false stories. The tabloids also speculated on how the Reynolds are making ends meet since he quit his job and she was let go from hers.
David Hasselhoff needs help? “The Hoff” is best known for his roles in Baywatch, Knight Rider and as “Snapper” on the soap opera The Young and The Restless. Hasselhoff is currently a judge on the reality show America’s Got Talent. This past year, he made headlines with his nasty divorce, numerous Botox treatments, a drunken episode at a London Airport where he peed on himself (he says he was sick from overmedicating), a mysterious arm injury and a false police report involving his teenage daughter. He told the police she tried to commit suicide by cutting herself. She was actually cut by the family pet, a cat. She went to the hospital, got treated and came home. Why would Hasselhoff lie to the police? Everyone in his close circle, including his ex-wife, admits he needs help, and they hope he gets it soon.
The weight issue involving Janet Jackson continues. What made her gain and lose close to 70 pounds? The producers of the movie Tennessee want Janet to stop telling people she gained weight for their movie. They claim the part did not call for the actress/singer to gain weight. The role is now going to Mariah Carey. The producers want Janet to reveal she gained weight due to stress (the wardrobe malfunction, poor sales of her last CD Damita Jo, family crisis with brother Michael’s trial, being the breadwinner for the entire Jackson family and stories of a hidden child). They say just stop blaming them!
Our condolences go out to Reverend Run and his wife Justine. They are best known for the popular MTV series, Reverend Run’s House. On last season’s cliffhanger, Justine announced she was pregnant with their fifth child. Unfortunately, the baby died. The child was born with the organs outside of the body, and died a short time later. MTV was filming at the hospital. There is no word yet on how this is going to be handled on the show.
Singer Alicia Keys has signed on for the animated Backyardigans TV show. Alicia will voice the alien character and her niece, Shakyra, will also be featured.
Mariah Carey has a new career venture. She is going to be the spokesperson for a new self tanning lotion. This is the self tanning lotion that she uses while she is on tour.
LaToya Jackson is the new spokesperson for Star Ice, a malt liquor from Australia.
Samuel L. Jackson recently signed a production deal with New Line Cinema.
WHAT’S THE UNDERGROUND BUZZ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This celebrity signed on to appear on a reality TV show. He did it as a joke. Now he has proven to be so popular, he can’t get voted off. He is tired of doing the show, and it is wearing him out.
This famous Producer has declared he will not work with a famous Pop Singer again. He helped her with her latest CD, and played a big part in her comeback. Everyone thought she was looney, but he stuck with her because he knew she had a great voice. The Producer figured the Pop Singer would help him out since he helped her reclaim her career. The Producer asked the Pop Singer to record a song with his girlfriend. His girlfriend is famous. She can dance, but she can’t sing. The Pop Singer refused to do it. She knew she could never record a song with a non singer.
