Huffington Post: Orson Scott Card Calls Backlash To Anti-Gay Views 'Savage, Lying Deceptive Personal Attacks'

Posted: 31 Oct 2013 07:45 AM PDT

"Ender's Game" author Orson Scott Card is calling criticism in response to his anti-gay views "savage, lying deceptive personal attacks."

In an interview with Deseret News, he opened up about the backlash -- which includes a proposed boycott of the "Ender's Game" movie -- he has faced over his homophobic ideas.

"I've had no criticism. I've had savage, lying, deceptive personal attacks, but no actual criticism because they've never addressed any of my actual ideas," Card told the Utah publication. "Character assassination seems to be the only political method that is in use today, and I don't play that game, and you can't defend against it. All you can do is try to offer ideas, and for those who want to listen to ideas, great. For those who simply want to punish you for not falling in line with their dogmas, there's really not much you can do about it."

Posted: 31 Oct 2013 07:46 AM PDT

Happy birthday, Princess Leonor!

The Spanish royal turns 8 years old today, bringing her that much closer to becoming her country's monarch. As she gets older, the youngster has been gearing up for her future role as queen, studying languages like Mandarin and English, taking up ballet and preparing for her First Communion -- she's heir to the Catholic throne, after all.

But Leonor has also been nailing down her royal style, and we have to say that she's already showing major fashion promise. So we're going to go ahead and call it now: This princess will be gracing best-dressed lists before you know it. Here's why:

Huffington Post: 'I Went To Breakfast With Friends While My Husband Was Served Divorce Papers'

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 09:29 AM PDT

The four hardest words to say to your spouse are undoubtably, "I want a divorce."

That's why Mary Jo Fay, a relationship coach, made sure she was out of the house when her soon-to-be ex got the life-changing news.

"I was in such a state of depression not knowing what was coming in my future that it made [the divorce decision] all the more difficult, so I took the cheaters way out," she told host Nancy Redd on HuffPost Live Monday. "I should tell you that we had four years of psychotherapy trying to save the marriage before I did this, so it wasn't like a big surprise, but I went out and had breakfast with girlfriends and had my husband served at home."

Huffington Post: 15 Things We Learned From Ava Ryan, 3-Year-Old Vine Video Sensation

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 07:35 AM PDT

Katie Ryan originally signed up on Vine (username Katie Ryan) to share videos she took of her 3-year-old daughter Ava with family and friends. "We have family in California, and all over the place, so we thought it was great for everybody to get to see her," she told The Huffington Post.

Thing is, Ava's always been a ham.

Now, the Dearborn, Mich. preschooler is a Vine star. Her mom's feed, chronicling Ava's precocious bon mots and pre-k sass, has 127,000 followers around the globe -- and a Metro Detroit TV station is trying to get her on "Ellen."
