You would think so but after the BET acquisition several years ago that made Bob Johnson a millionaire, MTV and BET are now owned by the same company. Ya never know...

I know we all already know what happened but this contains a statement from Rev Run:

Rev. Run's daughter dies at birth

Associated Press

RIDGEWOOD, N.J. - A daughter born to rap pioneer Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons and his wife, Justine, died shortly after delivery last week, an MTV spokesman said Wednesday.

Simmons issued a statement through the network, which airs his reality show, "Run's House," saying his wife "is doing fine." He thanked his supporters for their prayers and condolences.

"On Sept. 26, 2006, Victoria Anne Simmons for some unknown reason chose to come early and unfortunately did not survive," his statement said. "We must accept whatever is there and once you accept unconditionally, then everything is beautiful. Every pain has a purifying effect. So whatever comes your way, just be thankful. We see life in death and believe in the celebration of life in death."

The baby was delivered at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, according to MTV spokesman Graham James.

Simmons, brother of hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, has five children. He was a founding member of pioneering rap group Run-DMC.

I agree. Makes me look at him in a different light.

I used to think that Howard K Stern had the most sense out of the bunch. Maybe he was just as quirkie as Anna Nicole. Maybe they all were on that methadone.

Was the link posted that said that AN's son died from an overdose: Methadone, Zerloft and some other drug.

Then, there is another guy saying HE is ANs baby daddy! This is some mess for Jerry Springer.

Thanks for the official statement. I am unsure of those tabloid stories.
