Sara Romweber Dies; Let’s Active Drummer Was 55

Sara Romweber was a legendary drummer who played with Let’s Active, Snatches of Pink, and of course with the Dex Romweber Duo. She has now died of a brain tumor. The beloved musician was 55 years old. Romweber has been well-known for years in North Carolina’s thriving indie music scene. But she also made her break into mainstream music recognition. She was part of the ’80s-era trio Let’s Active, which was led by early R.E.M. coproducer Mitch Easter. That power-pop group enjoyed a great deal of success on college radio charts. The trio opened for R.E.M. and other acts. Romweber specifically played on Afoot , Let’s Active’s 1983 debut EP and Cypress , their 1984 album. Let’s Active received critical praise, but only limited commercial success. The trio’s 1984 song, “Every Word Means No,” has been described by Billboard as a “quintessential gem” of the time period. Not every band manages to produce a song that endures through the ages as representative of the era. In particular, Let’s Active was praised for its hooks and cleverly skewed lyrics. Mitch Easter stated that he would write songs and hand them off to Romweber, who would figure out how to make them work musically. Romweber’s musical legacy was not limited to Let’s Active, however. She joined he Winston-Salem area group, Snatches of Pink, which is a hell of a band name. More recently, she teamed up with her younger brother, Dexter. Together, they formed the Dex Romweber Duo. From 2009 to 2014, they released four albums. That included collaborating with Jack White on a single, “The Wind Did Move.” American musician and label owner Ralph Lee “Mac” McCaughan took to Instagram to eulogize Romweber. “Sara Romweber was one of the kindest, most unique, & inspiring people i’ve known & she passed away yesterday,” he begins. “She was so important to me that i wrote a paper about her my freshman year in college,” he shares. He continues: “The Romweber home on Pine St in Carrboro was open to everyone & the heart of a musical community.” Mac notes that “you can see some of this in the episode of ‘IRS The Cutting Edge’ if it’s on anywhere.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam Mac’s post continues as he praises her brilliance as a drummer. “A fantastically powerful and creative drummer,” he describes her. Mac expresses: “watching her play was a joy no matter what band.” “And,” he says. “I’ll be listening to these masterpieces this morning.” He concludes that he will be “thinking about Sara and her family.”

Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott: Officially Still Together Following Cheating Scandal

Last week, Kylie Jenner accused Travis Scott of cheating on her during his current US tour. From the very start, Kylie’s “evidence” of Scott’s infidelity appeared to be rather flimsy. Nevertheless, many rallied around the 21-year-old and urged her to kick Travis to the curb. In retrospect, Travis may have been a victim of the times. After all, part of the rush to condemn him was a result of the fact that Kylie had recently been betrayed in a different cheating scandal that had nothing to do with Scott. As you’ve likely heard by now, Khloe Kardashian’s baby daddy, Tristan Thompson was recently caught cheating with Jordyn Woods , who happens to be Kylie’s longtime best friend. Although maybe we should say former best friend at this point Anyway, insiders say the Jordyn situation has made Kylie “paranoid” about being betrayed, which may be why she was so quick to believe questionable evidence against Travis. Fortunately, though she hit the roof when she first heard the accusations, it appears that Kylie held off on making any rash decisions. Insiders say that despite reports to the contrary, Kylie and Travis are still very much together. That claim seems to be corroborated by Travis’ shout-out to Kylie at his Madison Square Garden show over the weekend. “Remember to keep your family first,” Scott told the crowd before referring to Kylie as his “wifey.” Scott’s loving tribute comes as a surprise to many fans. When the rapper deleted his Instagram account over the weekend, many assumed he was bracing himself for a tidal wave of bad press. Ya know, the kind of bad press that might ensue after a male celebrity gets caught cheating on the mother of his child. But it looks as though he and Kylie are still going strong. As for Jordyn and Kylie, well — it seems the billionaire cosmetics mogul only has so much forgiveness to go around. “At first the family thought Kylie would eventually take Jordyn back, but now they don’t think that she will,” a source close to the situation tells us Weekly. Obviously, that might change with time. But for now, at least, it looks like Jordyn gave up the good life for a one-night stand. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner: Finally Ready to DUMP Travis Scott?!

Kylie Jenner: I’m Having a REALLY HARD TIME Right Now, OK?!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for the Kardashian family, huh? Everybody knows the family thrives on drama, but it’s been a little much, even for them. Just after Valentine’s Day, Khloe Kardashian finally dumped Tristan Thompson . That’s been a long time coming — he got caught cheating on her more than once while she was pregnant with True, and it stands to reason that he stepped out more than just those two times. Unless he is just very dumb, which is a solid possibility. She’s been trying to make it work ever since then, but something happened last month to finally push her to end things. What happened was that Tristan hooked up with Jordyn Woods . According to some witnesses, both Tristan and Jordyn were at the same club on February 16th, and they were “all over each other.” It’s bad enough that Tristan was caught once again, but for him to have the nerve to do it with Jordyn, Kylie’s longtime best friend and someone who’s always been close to the family? Just keep it in your pants, dude, it’s not that hard. So yeah, when Khloe found out about it, she broke up with Tristan, and since then, we just can’t stop hearing about this whole mess. There have been tons of reports, but on Friday, Jordyn gave an interview to tell her side of the story . As she tells it, she and Tristan were in the same group at a club, and then the group took the party to his house. She wasn’t with him, like she didn’t go home with him , but, you know, she went home with him. She said that they weren’t hanging out all night or anything, they were just in the same place, but that “On the way out, he did kiss me.” There was “no passion, no nothing,” so it’s not like they got hot and heavy. “It was like a kiss on the lips,” she explained. “But no tongue kiss, no making out. Nothing.” Throughout the whole interview, Jordyn kept saying things like “I allowed myself to be in that position,” so it’s clear she’s taking some responsibility for it all. And while she admitted that she was drinking, she insisted that nothing else happened besides that one kiss. Khloe was not impressed by the interview . She tweeted directly at Jordyn, asking “Why are you lying?” “If you’re going to try to save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story.” “BTW,” she added, “you ARE the reason my family broke up!” It was a little harsh, and she’s since taken it back a little bit, tweeting that “Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family. This was Tristan’s fault.” So we know how Khloe feels about everything … what about Kylie? Because remember, Jordyn is (was?) Kylie’s best friend. The two go way back, and Jordyn was even living with Kylie when all of this went down. She moved out pretty quick, and although there’s been no official word on how their friendship is … it can’t be great right now, you know? Kylie’s got to be pretty upset about what happened, and that’s not even considering the reports that Travis Scott has been cheating on her . Earlier this week, TMZ reported that she’d seen “proof” that he was hooking up with someone else, and that Kylie was so upset that he cancelled a concert to deal with the situation. At first it looked like she was going to dump him, but now sources are saying that she’s willing to try to work things out. Like we said, it’s been a busy time for the family. So it makes sense that, according to a family insider who spoke with People, she’s not doing so well. “Kylie had a rough week ,” the source claims. “She is still devastated about Jordyn and had an argument with Travis after she checked his phone and saw something that she didn’t like.” But with Jordyn, “She has basically lost part of her world. She is very, very upset.” “She always trusted Jordyn with everything.” The source says that “Kylie just can’t make sense of what happened. She still has so many questions for Jordyn.” As time goes on, we imagine that everyone involved will keep talking about this more and more — you know Kris Jenner is already pumped about getting all of this on the show — so she’ll probably get her answers. But we can’t imagine their friendship will ever be the same, if they even speak to each other again. Does everyone know to leave Tristan Thompson alone now? If any good can come from this, that would be it. View Slideshow: Jordyn Woods: Who is Kylie Jenner’s BFF (and Khloe’s Home-Wrecker)?!

Yikes! Jeannie Mai’s Ex’s Angry Girlfriend Is Dragging Her For Revealing She Paid Him In Divorce

Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Jeannie Mai’s Ex-Husband’s GF Thinks She’s Salty & Single Over THIS… Jeannie Mai has worked the nerve of her ex-husband Freddy Harteis’ new love. After The Real posted a clip of Mai describing the lesson she learned in paying out money to her ex in divorce, his girlfriend Lindsay Toole dragged her in the comments for ‘lying” and still being single. In the clip, Jeannie explains, “I was married to someone who had more money than me, but because I was the stronger earner and we lived in California — a shocking thing slapped me in the face when we divorced and I had to end up paying him my earnings,” Mai explained before adding that the experience taught her a lesson about “looking out for myself.” View this post on Instagram Today in #GirlChat: Jeannie opens up about her divorce. A post shared by The Real Talk Show (@therealdaytime) on Mar 1, 2019 at 9:16am PST Welp, Toole’s take is that Jeannie is “greedy” and that’s why she’s still single. She wrote: “Your complete focus on YOURSELF is why you’re DIVORCED. YOURSELF being the most important thing to you in the entire world is why you keep making up LIES for MORE attention. Ain’t nobody talking about YOU. Because we don’t care! Stop trying to tear someone down who has done absolutely NOTHING to you,” Toole continued. “Never one time has Freddy brought up your name or drug it through the mud where it belongs.” Whoa! She continues… “Every week you got some new dramatic story so that you can more pity and more attention. How many more lies are you going to make up before you are satisfied? Freddy and I are both working our butts off to have what we have. Not because you gave anything. Freddy walked away from 1 MILLION dollars so he could finally give our family peace. And God has blessed him fruitfully in doing so! Let it go. Stop trying to make up things for people to feel sorry for you. You made Freddy signed [sic] to keep his mouth closed. I didn’t sign for this very reason,” Toole then threatened to “expose” Mai further if she continued to talk down on Harteis. “I knew you would come back at his throat again. I will speak the truth Jeanie [sic]. I’m pre-warning that I will tell what really happened if you continue to publicly lie and humiliate Freddy!” View this post on Instagram Life has its way of flipping your world upside down and then having you land on your feet where you belong.

Jocelyn Savage’s Family Wants To Confront R. Kelly At Chicago Trump Tower Home

Follow this link:

Source: Scott Olson / Getty The family of Jocelyn Savage , a woman they say is under R. Kelly ‘s control, have been desperately trying to get into contact with her over the year. The family aims to confront Kelly at his Chicago Trump Tower residence, but they hope law enforcement officials will provide protection. TMZ reports : Gerald Griggs — an attorney who reps Joycelyn Savage’s family — tells TMZ he and the family are actively working with prosecutors in Illinois to conduct a new welfare check on Joycelyn at Kelly’s Trump Tower pad. Griggs says the Savages believe Joycelyn is living there, too, along with Azriel Clary. Both women were at R. Kelly’s court hearing over the weekend, supporting him. Griggs says Chicago PD conducted a welfare check in January, but he doesn’t trust they did a thorough job. He says the fam wants one done when they can be there to witness it. The Savages ultimate goal hasn’t changed — they’re hoping they can somehow get through to Joycelyn and convince her to leave Kelly. The Savage family claims that figures close to Kelly have issued threats their way. — Photo: Getty

Tristan Thompson and Jordyn Woods Tried to Hide Affair by Doing THIS

Now that Khloe Kardashian finally dumped Tristan Thompson , everyone’s wondering exactly how it all went down. Reports say that Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson were banging for a while before they got caught. And apparently they had a plan to keep their trysts a secret. Clearly, it didn’t work. People reports that, during their illicit hookups, Jordyn and Tristan had a plan if they got accused of boning each other. That contingency was to … simply deny it. “It seemed she had an agreement with Tristan that they would deny hooking up if they got caught,” the insider reveals. That’s a good start to a plan. That’s not usually enough to keep something an actual secret. But the source says that Jordyn was convinced that “no one would find out.” Whoops. Ultimately, their clever plan to not tell people that they were banging wasn’t enough. “Jordyn was shocked when the family did find out and confronted her,” the insider shares. “Jordyn acted very distraught,” the source notes. Of course. She was practically family. She was BFFs with Kylie for years and had been living in her home. “But the family feels that she is mostly upset that she got caught,” the insider notes. Jordyn may have been distraught, but the actual cheater in the mix apparently felt differently. “Tristan didn’t seem like he cared too much,” the source characterizes. Maybe he’s just good at hiding his emotional pain. Or maybe, as was also reported after his cheating scandal in April 2018, he just feels entitled to cheat and doesn’t see how it’s a big deal. “He seemed to mind the drama,” the insider admits. “But didn’t act like he regretted hooking up with Jordyn.” “He actually denied, too,” the source shares. “And has had no explanation since as to why it happened.” Despite his history, the Kardashians as a whole were apparently hesitant to believe that he had cheated with Jordyn, of all people. “When they first started hearing on Monday that Tristan made out with Jordyn, no one really believed it,” the insider shares. “That Tristan would be inappropriate, yes everyone knows that he can’t behave,” the source says frankly. Sadly, that has been apparent for a while. “But that Jordyn would make out with him,” the insider says. “It first seemed like a made up rumor.” “It wasn’t anything they wanted to drop,” the source says of how the Kardashians viewed those initial reports. “So several family members reached out to people they believed had been at the party,” the insider shares. It’s always interesting to hear about how celebrities confirm what is and is not true. The “bubble” can be powerful — we’ve seen celebrities buy bogus stories and disbelief the truth. Though, really, anyone can do that. But they asked around about Tristan and Jordyn “and they were told it was true.” So how is Khloe grappling with all of this? “She’s very good at compartmentalizing,” the source characterizes. That can be a good thing if you’re a medical examiner. It’s not always good for your real-life relationships. “And at the end of the day,” the insider claims. “She wants True to have a happy relationship with both of her parents.” Some believe that Khloe stuck with Tristan the first time out of a misguided belief that she owed it to True to stay with a cheater. Still, apparently Khloe isn’t plotting against Tristan, as “she’s not one to seek revenge or hold on to negativity.” Can’t relate. “Khloe is doing okay,” the source assesses. “She’s still upset about what happened,” the insider acknowledges. “And talks about it a lot.” “But it really seems she is able to see what everyone else has been seeing for so long,” the source notes. “That she was always too good for Tristan.” According to the insider, “she deserves so much better.” Tristan can find plenty of women who would be happy to be in a relationship with him and even have his child while he gives other women the business. But that’s not Khloe. He should have respected that. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian: Tristan Thompson CONFESSED to Banging Jordyn Woods! (And It Was All Caught on Camera?!)
