EXCLUSIVE: GAYLE KING’S BIGGEST CONCERN ABOUT GOING TO SPACE? KEEPING HER WIG ON!
“I’m defying gravity — but this hair better not!”
Houston, we have a hair situation.
TV royalty Gayle King may be heading to space, but before she boards any rocket, she’s got one non-negotiable concern: making sure her wig stays firmly in orbit.
“Gayle’s biggest fear isn’t zero gravity — it’s her wig floating off mid-lift-off,” one friend tells Rob Shuter Substack. “She said, ‘If I’m going to defy gravity, I need to look fabulous.’”
The beloved CBS Mornings co-host has been buzzing about the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to space — but she’s also made it clear she’s not about to let NASA catch her off-guard.
“She told us, I need industrial-strength wig glue. She is not about to be the meme of the mission.”
Let’s face it: this is a woman who interviewed presidents, survived Oprah’s book club deadlines, and broke morning news stories in stilettos — if she’s going to leave Earth’s atmosphere, she’s doing it with every hair in place.
“The suits? The training? No problem,” says the insider. “But that hairline better be NASA-certified.”
Gayle’s space style is already the talk of the CBS newsroom — with insiders hinting she’s having a custom space helmet fitted to accommodate a flawless blowout.
“Forget countdowns,” another pal laughs. “She wants a final glam check before liftoff.”
One thing’s for sure: whether she’s floating through the cosmos or just floating through Studio 57, Gayle King doesn’t do low orbit or low maintenance.
XOXO, Rob
