As the age old adage goes:  all good things must come to an end.  And, as Grammy nominated R&B trio SWV can attest to this week, the saying has never been truer.

After two seasons of sharing their musical highs and lows with devoted fans, weak ratings ultimately led to the ‘Weak’ singers seeing their reality show ‘SWV Reunited’ axed from the WeTV roster.  The announcement, lent by the group via their official Facebook page this weekend, comes as a shock for viewers who’d been inquiring about the show’s season 3 return.

Well…mystery solved.  Get the disheartening news below:

Reunited..but will it feel good?

Fans of the hit series ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ will have to wait until next Sunday to learn the answer to that question when the show returns for an eighth cycle.

Why this is set to be its grandest? The return of original ‘Wife’ Sheree Whitfield who- much to the dismay of the show’s fans- will serve as a “friend of the wives” and NeNe Leakes who announced she was leaving the series at the end of last season only to surprise its cast with a comeback last week.
