Is Traci About to Expose the Abbotts After May 28 Young and Restless?
Traci (Beth Maitland) thinks she's writing fiction. But everybody knows all fiction has to come at least partially from the writer's own experiences. Especially since Traci has already said this book will be based on her drama with Martin (Christopher Cousins). But in order for Traci to create a 'fictional' character who would fall prey to such a scheme, she has to ask herself, 'What made this woman so desperate for love that she'd be willing to accept it from anyone? Even a man who was unhinged and criminal? How could she not see the warning signs? Is it because she didn't want to?' And when Traci goes digging there, what might she turn up?

Traci, as the youngest Abbott, lost her mother at the earliest age. Sure, John (Jerry Douglas) tried to step up. But he had his hands fool with Jack (Peter Bergman), his only son and heir, who spent his teens and twenties being the player about town. Jack left John a lot of messes to clean up. Meanwhile, there was Traci's older sister, Ashley (Eileen Davidson). She was brilliant – a chemist at the family company. She was popular and self-assured and gorgeous. John called Ashley 'my beauty.' And he called Traci… Traci. That's going to leave scars.

What if, in writing her 'fiction,' Traci ends up accidentally exposing Abbott family secrets? She can insist she made it all up. But the reading public will have their suspicions. So will her siblings. Will this book that's supposed to promote healing, end up tearing Traci and her family apart?

Jack White-Trump Feud Erupts Over Gold Oval Office
Jack White and the Trump administration are beefing — again. Donald Trump recently remodeled the Oval Office, covering everything in those gold medallion-thingys, little gold cherub babies, basically gold everything, and people are not happy about it. Jack, a 12-time Grammy award-winning musician, is one of those people. He can't stand Trump's "vulgar" transformation of the Oval Office. "Look at how disgusting trump has transformed the historic White House. It's now a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room," Jack wrote in an Aug. 19 Instagram post. "Can't wait for the UFC match on the front lawn too, he's almost fully achieved the movie 'Idiocracy.'" The guitarist, who released six studio albums as a solo artist after The White Stripes disbanded, pointed out the president's "disgusting taste," suggesting he's a "conman" who shouldn't be trusted with nuclear codes. "Also pictured in this photograph, a REAL leader of a nation in a black suit," he finished, referencing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sitting beside Trump. The White House caught wind of Jack's viral insult and responded. Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, reportedly told The Daily Beast that Jack is "a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career." Defending the president's "guady" gold room, Steven apparently said, "It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of 'The People's House.'"' Jack, set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year with Meg White (the other half of the White Stripes), had a lengthy response to the White House's rather brutal rebuttal in an Aug. 20 Instagram post. "Funny that it wasn't me calling out trump's blatant facist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his ractist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc.," he wrote before listing a laundry list of allegations against Trump and his administration including "ignorance of dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and "constant lying to the American people." "No, it wasn't me calling out any of that, it was the fucking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults. How petty and pathetic and thin-skinned could this administration get?" Jack said. In response to the claim Jack is "masquerading as a real artist" he said, "trump is masquerading as a human being." "He's masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy. He's been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he's involved in has propsered except by using other people's money to find a loophole after loophole and grift after grift," Jack continued before criticizing Trump's supporters. In the caption of the Instagram post alongside several jarring photos of recent Trump-related news, Jack wrote, "I was raised to believe that we defeated fascism in World War II and that we would never allow it again in the world." Jack's response received praise from some celebrities. Comedian and actor Patton Oswalt wrote, "You hit a fuckin' nerve 'cuz they don't put out statements this length for earthquakes and shootings. Keep going." Actor Beverly D'Angelo wrote, "Thank you Jack. As you always have done, you've given a voice to those who for whatever reason ( including current culturally endemic oppression ) really need it. I needed this. I'm with you. PREACH" Actor Adam Goldberg told Jack to "Keep it up!! 👍 👏" Jack's been a longtime critic of Trump and his administration. Meg and Jack had filed a lawsuit against Trump's 2024 re-election campaign for the use of their hit song "Seven Nation Army." While the lawsuit was dropped, Jack's been rather vocal about his dislike of Trump on social media. Following Trump's 2024 victory over vice president Kamala Harris, Jack was part of several celebrities, including Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, and Cardi B, who spoke out against the Republican victory. Jack wrote in a Nov. 6, 2024, Instagram post, "Trump won the popular vote. End of story. Americans chose a known, obvious fascist and now America will get whatever this wannabe dictator wants to enact from here on in. We all know what he is capable of: Project 2025, deportations, nationwide abortion ban, ending his own 2 term limit, backing Putin and his war, shutting down the Board of Education, adding to climate change, limiting LGBTQ rights, controlling the DOJ, keeping the minimum wage down, etc. etc. etc.." Jack went on to criticize the "rich pricks riding in their Cybertrucks listening to their Rogan and Bannon and Alex jones podcasts laughing all the way to the bank looking foraward to their tax cuts that don't apply to the middle class." What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.

'The Map That Leads To You' Ending, Explained
A whirlwind romance spanning a two-week vacation in Europe seems like an absolute fever dream, and it's hard not to be taken in by it. The Map That Leads to You and Madelyn Cline's character, Heather, is proof of that. No matter how you plan things out, life is unpredictable and you never know when you'll meet a captivating stranger from New Zealand named Jack (KJ Apa), who inevitably sweeps you off your feet. But a big summer fling usually it either ends really, really horribly, or ends up being one of the best, most beautiful things that's ever happened in your life. Most of The Map That Leads To You is one big adventure that follows Heather living her best life with her friends, and eventually joined by Jack and his friend Raef (Orlando Norman). The two fall in love and become inseparable, but once the trip comes to an end, what happens then? Here's a breakdown of the ending of Amazon Prime Video's new original film, The Map That Leads To You. One of the worst possible things to have happened after a Eurotrip romance happens to Heather. Jack had decided to give their relationship a chance, and agreed to fly with her to New York as she begins her new working girl life. They go through airport security and everything, but after he tells her that he's going to the restroom, he never comes back. Heather gets on the plane to JFK alone, and only gets a text from Jack once she's aboard. "I'm really sorry." Of course, she doesn't know that though Jack was putting up a worry-free, happy front, he was secretly dealing with the return of his cancer. After starting her job and living her New York City life with a big girl job in banking, Heather goes home for Christmas with her family. She has heart-to-heart conversations about her dad, who knows a thing or two about abandonment after having been left by her mother. During one of their talks, Heather says that though Jack ended up breaking her heart he did allow her to feel what it's like to be free—of her own expectations, the pressure of making other people proud. She just lived. She tells her father the truth, which is that she doesn't really want to work for a bank in New York. She doesn't quite know what she wants for herself, but it isn't that. Over the holidays, Heather's friend Connie (Sofia Wylie) announces that she and Raef are engaged, and are set to get married in the spring. Both Heather and their other bestie Amy (Madison Thompson) are supportive, and excited for this good news. Aside from asking the two to be her bridesmaids, Connie also says that the wedding will be in Barcelona—where it all began. So the very first scene in the movie, where we see Heather wearing white in what appears to be a bridal suite in Europe, was totally a red herring. It's actually her getting ready for Connie and Raef's wedding. At the reception, Heather, of course, had to ask Raef about Jack. Connie had previously told her that Jack had ghosted Raef, too and hadn't been in contact for a month since the trip. But now, Raef tells her that though he'd never RSVPed to the wedding he did send a gift and something else. It was a letter that Jack had entrusted him to give Heather, should she ask about him during the wedding. In the letter, Jack apologizes for what he did and admits that he left her, hoping that she would hate him and move on. He didn't want her chasing someone battling cancer, someone with an uncertain future that would likely lead to death. He also writes that he realized he was using his grandfather's journal as an excuse to run from the truth of his disease. But, he says, he was glad that the journal ended up becoming a map that led him to Heather. While reading Jack's letter, Heather finds unintended clues as to where the love of her life might be. She remembers a conversation they had about a festival his grandfather had enjoyed witnessing in the village of Santa Pau in Spain, where it was like the people were "dancing in the face of death." Where else would a dying man go? She packs her bags, bids her friends goodbye, and jets off to Santa Pau. Lo and behold, Heather finds Jack in the middle of the crowd. He was completely surprised that she had found him, and repeats what he said in the letter. He doesn't want her to commit to something with an uncertain future, something that might just end badly. But Heather tells him, "I'm here now, and I love you, and I want to dance." Well, that's hard to say. The movie ends with the two kissing and enjoying the time they have now, in Santa Pau. There's no talk of what happens next, where they're going, how Jack's going to get treated, or what Heather wants to do with her life and career. There's not even a post-credits scene! Basically, we get one hell of a cliffhanger. The book that the film is based on, written by JP Monninger, also does not have a sequel. So it seems like a second movie to follow-up on the two lovebirds is highly unlikely. But if you want to relive this adventurous romance, you can certainly rewatch the movie or read the book.
