Old post but adding for others - The following stored procedure will give you what you need:

• sp_replmonitorhelppublication (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186304.aspx)

It allows you to view the status plus other information for all replication publications for a distributor (run it on the distribution database)
