For those of you who care earlier this week Mary J Blige announced on Good Morning America that she had received her “honorary degree” from high school and has been accepted into Howard University’s class of 2014.  Yesterday July 8th 2010 US Magazine Reports:

No more drama — and no school books! — for Mary J. Blige.
Contrary to online reports Thursday, the singer will not be attending Howard University this fall, her rep tells UsMagazine.com exclusively. “Howard University came to her and expressed interest in having her as a student but she will not be attending,” the rep explains.

Even if she won’t be matriculating at the Washington, D.C. school, the Grammy winner will look online to see what courses and other options are available,” the rep says. Blige’s autumn schedule is packed with a tour and the launch of both a sunglasses line (Melodies) and a perfume (My Life). “But don’t rule it out at some point! She won’t be giving up her music career.”
