Apparently real housewives in D.C. aren’t very interesting. Washington Post reports that Bravo officially pulled the plug on the ‘The Real Housewives of D.C.’ Thursday.

Andy Cohen of Bravo said, “We had an amazing season and we told stories that were unique to any other in the franchise. I wish all our DC Wives the best and hope to work with them again in another capacity.”

Is this really a great loss for TV? Probably not. In fact the world may be better off if the whole franchise is cancelled. Here’s hoping!

Jake Harris, a cast member on reality show “Deadliest Catch,” made some progress in solving some of his legal problems on Friday.

Harris was able to convince a judge to give him his license back, reports TMZ. In February Jake was arrested on suspicion of DUI, hit-and-run, reckless driving, and driving on a suspended license

A judge however dismissed the DUI and hit-and-run charges after a lack of evidence. His license was then automatically reinstated.

Harris needs to be back in court June 3rd to deal with the remaining charges.

P. Diddy is getting ready to go back to school just like the rest of us. In response to protests about poor administration at Howard University, Diddy’s alma mater, he took to Twitter to express his support.

“NO JUSTICE! NO PEACE!!! Let me know if yall need me to come down there yall! I got yall BACK! Let’s go!!! (sic)” Diddy said via Twitter. “Do what we did and take IT OVER!!!! Let’s go! And do it in a peaceful way but DO IT!! … If your at HU go to the A building now and make sure they feel you!!! And send me updates!!! Let’s go!”

Students gathered en masse on Sept. 4 outside the administration building to voice their concerns over extreme delays to process financial aid or registration. The school is taking the protest seriously, and has scheduled for the president and students to meet next week.

Diddy attended the Washington, D.C. university before dropping out to persue a top position at Uptown Records (where he signed Mary J. Blige) in New York.
