METHOD MAN - RUN-DMC STAR TURNS 42 IN STYLE

Rapper-turned-minister REV RUN found something to smile about at his first public outing since his wife suffered a miscarriage - he turned trendy New York club Tenjune into a star-studded belated birthday party yesterday (29NOV06). The rap icon and his second wife JUSTINE lost their third child together. Their baby girl was born on 21 September (06) but died shortly after her birth. JAMIE LYNN-SIGLER and rappers METHOD MAN, REDMAN, TREACH and RASHEED were among the celebrities who joined the RUN-DMC star, real name JOSEPH SIMMONS, his wife and five kids for a 'surprise' 42nd birthday party, which was filmed for the new season of hit MTV reality show RUN'S HOUSE. The party's biggest surprise guests were GOOD CHARLOTTE stars BENJI and JOEL MADDEN, who helped Simmons belatedly celebrate his 14 November birthday (06). The event marked Joel's first public outing since splitting from longtime girlfriend HILARY DUFF.
