NATIONAL ENQUIRER...

SHOCK NOVELIST Stephen King's daughter Naomi is in a lesbian uproar -- she's
set to "marry" a woman who's her graduate school professor!

Naomi, 29, and 53-year-old Thandeka -- who doesn't use a last name -- plan a
"ceremony of union" within a month, according to William Murry, dean at the
Meadville/Lombard Theological School where Naomi is a student.

The couple's odd romance has stirred controversy at the school, part of the
University of Chicago.

"It's outrageous!" a source complained to The ENQUIRER.

"Teachers aren't supposed to date students. Anywhere else, one or both of them
would be thrown out. But Naomi's dad is famous and wealthy, and the school is
afraid of her.

Naomi and Thandeka -- both openly gay -- first met last winter in a class
taught by Thandeka, an associate professor of theology and culture, according
to the source.

"Their romance created a stir. For one thing, they're two women. Some people
have a problem with that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
FAST FACT!
Horror master Stephen King admits to having a fear of the number 13.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
"And many people are upset that the school allowed this teacher-student
romance."

But Dean Murry told The ENQUIRER: "We hope they get married here at the school.


"They're two mature, responsible people."

Murry said the school has no problem with same-sex marriages.

And neither has Naomi's dad Stephen King, said a source close to the family.

"Her dad's attitude is, 'As long as Naomi's happy, I'm happy.' "

I saw King and his wife interviewed on Dateline last night. Mrs. King had her
hair cut in a very masculine style. Does anybody know if this is her usual
haircut?

I must say, King seemed very loving and devoted to his wife. And, she to him.


They're very down to earth and unpretentious people which seems amazing when
you consider how wealthy they are.

A lesbian theology professor?

I always thought theologians were stuffy old Catholics who spend all their time
watching Mother Angelica on EWTN. Not freaky ultra-liberal lesbians named
Thandeka.

U of Chicago theology school is something other than Catholic, it could
be Unitarian or Episcopal, I'm not sure.

Haven't you noticed, that most women when they reach middle age, seem to favor
the masculine hair style? I've noticed this in all ethnic groups.

It's just a matter of age and illusion. As you age and your face begins to
give in to gravity, long hair tends to add to the appearance by visually
pulling your face down, too. Softer hair that doesn't have visual "weight"
tends to lighten/brighten the face and erase a few years. Plus it's damned
easier to take care of short hair when you have better things to do.

Volfie -> short, naturally wavy and very straight, thanks

Actually, I couldn't get past how old and thin Stephen King looked.
Unsurprising, when you consider what he's been through.

I turned on the TV in the middle of the interview, and they were talking about
the accident. When the initially showed King, I didn't recognize him. I
figured he was the guy who had hit him, until I noticed King's eyes.

Well, this haircut was like a man's bushy crewcut. It wasn't in any way like
the usual women's short haircut. Not the older women I see, anyway.

I wondered if Mrs. King was growing her hair out after losing it to
chemotherapy. Or, has she always worn her hair like this?

Talking about the Kings and chemo: have you seen Stephen lately? He looks
TERRIBLE. I think he isn't recovering from that accident as well as he would
like everyone to think.

Volfie -> he looked skeletal

ITA. He's lost alot of weight and he wasn't wearing his trademark glasses.
And I had never seen his wife before until the Dateline interview. She did
look rather masculine. But you're right when you say they seem very devoted to
each other. They were holding hands during the interview.

While I agree that he was much too thin for my comfort, before the
accident he had actually lost a fair bit of weight on purpose and was
in excellent shape. Dateline used an older "before" picture, when he
was still rather portly, to play up the weight loss, but it certainly
wasn't as drastic as the show would have us believe.

I didn't like the look of his arms, though (for some reason, arms, for
me, are the barometer of how skinny one is).

Cheers,

Jennifer

She has always been extremely frumpy. She must be preternaturally down to
earth, because the first thing I would do if I had all that money would be a
makeover!

Hi, I'm an SK fan and also an occasional lurker.

I just thought I'd mention that Tabby usually
has her hair cut this short. I remember the first
time I saw her on TV I was also surprised
at her choice of haircut, but it was similar to what
she
had at this interview. That was six years ago,
when she was promoting one of her books.

SK has been on a weight loss/exercise regime for
over a year, and had lost a great deal of weight
before the accident happened. In fact, he was
taking his daily 4-mile walk when he was struck.

There are pictures of him all over the internet
from his book signings back in February of this
year that show him slimmer than what you would
normally recall. The weight loss has not all been
from the accident.

This was exactly my thought too so I didn't want to comment on her
*butchy* appearance.

However, if she's NOT undergoing hairloss from some kind of cancer
therapy, well, then let's just say that Tabitha King makes Gertrude
Stein look like a hardcore femme. I wonder if she maybe passed a few
of her, umm, amy-john "genes" down to daughter.

I believe there is a Unitarian Universalist School of Theology in
Chicago. Can't be a very long course. You have to have a PhD to get
into it, and I mean, how long can people be expected to be students
before they get to start working for a living? (I was raised UU, and
once made inquiries of my minister as to the prerequisites). Anyway,
20 years of more ago, UU was going to start marrying same sex couples.
It didn't really catch on, after it became clear that, marry them they
may, but it would have no legal validity.

But they DO do it. And with all the pomp and circumstance of the legal kind.
Rather nice of them, actually. I've always held them in high regard for that.

Volfie -> it didn't start me going to church, you understand, but if I *did*,
that's probably where I'd go
