OlderMary J. Blige: Howard University Bound?
Is Mary J. Blige heading back to school?
The 39-year-old entertainer has sold over 50 million records, won six Grammy Awards and has released seven multi-platinum records, but the next thing she’s gunning for is a bachelor’s degree!
While chatting with the hosts of Good Morning America last week, Mary mentioned that she’s planning to go back to school and will be joining Howard University’s class of 2014. Mary has since then confirmed the news, stating, “the city of New York gave me my high school diploma … and now Howard University has accepted me.”
Congrats, Mary!!

No offense, but if she had her degree “given” to her, and has obviously been out of school for a while, taking on a college like Howard will definitely be a challenge. But I give my full support lol.
Nice job Mary! You’re never too old to get a formal education.
Hahahah each celebrity woman making nose jop
WEIRD.
Kinda like Shakira (although Shaki went in disguise lol)
Awesome! Go Mary J.
“whitney” at least she is trying and you are never too old to get an education.
what i can’t stand is ignorant sarcastic individuals like yourself, who don’t feel better unless they make snarky comments about someone else. get a life and stop projecting your misery on to others.
Have a nice day.

And all cynics who think that she was only accepted because she’s a celebrity couldn’t be more wrong. Rest assured that she was offered a spot because the board of admissions did not understand estimate her intelligents.
Congrats!
