Steve Burton is officially dating Michelle Lundstrom, Daily Drama reported on Wednesday.
Although the outlet didn’t share any additional information about the couple, specifically how long they’ve been together, nor where or how they met, it did publish two undated photos of the pair out and about in New York City (see here).
In one photo, Burton and Lundstrom are seen smiling while walking around with their hands intertwined. In another, the couple poses atop the Empire State Building’s Observation Deck, which provides an impressive view of the New York skyline.
Burton and Lundstrom have not gone “social media official,” whereby publicly acknowledging their relationship with photos and declarations. Still, Daily Drama, which houses Burton’s podcast that he co-hosts with Bradford Anderson (“General Hospital”), indicated Burton confirmed the relationship with them directly.
The relationship news comes nearly six months after Burton finalized his divorce from ex-wife Sheree Gustin,...

“Cat and Dog” is a comedy movie written and directed by Reem Kherici starring Franck Dubosc, Reem Kherici and Philippe Lacheau.
This movie is a mix of human actors where only Reem Kherici stands out. She’s inspired, cheerful, and fluid in her role. The two male protagonists just do their job. However, the film introduces two true stars to save the day: a dog and a kitten, two computer-generated characters that truly steal the show.
The script is simple and unassuming. The special effects are nothing outstanding, but the puppy and kitten are so charming that it’s worth overlooking the film’s cinematic shortcomings and simply bask in the cuteness and charm of these two new pals.
Plot
As Monica and Jack prepared for takeoff, they suddenly realized that their respective pets, Diva and Chichi, were missing on the tarmac. Monica’s famous influencer cat and Jack’s...

Must-watch comedy series, eye-opening documentaries and an expansion of the “Bridgerton” universe are among the noteworthy additions to Netflix this month.

And on May 23, the documentary “Victim/Suspect” examines how sexual assault victims too often get turned into suspects when they report their assaults.

Netflix recently announced it would be investing $2.5 billion into South Korean programming. Before Squid Game season 2 comes down the pike, however, the first seeds of that investment will bear fruit for Netflix in May 2023.
Netflix’s list of new releases for May 2023 is highlighted by the May 12 release of Korean series Black Knight. Set “in a dystopian 2071 devastated by air pollution,” this show will follow world-saving deliverymen known as “Black Knights.” Other international offerings this month include Japanese sumo drama Sanctuary on May 4 and Spanish crime thriller Muted on May 19.
Netflix’s domestic TV options this month include Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story on May 4. That will be followed by post-apocalyptic animated comedy Mulligan on May 12 and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s TV debut Fubar on May 25. And for those hoping for “triples,” I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson premieres on May 30.
On the movie side of things, Netflix has an unusually busy month.

Senator Sarah Hanson-Young.
Labor has attacked the federal government for five and a half years of inaction over screen sector reforms while the Australian Greens have advocated a suite of measures to support the industry.
The Greens urged the government to impose a local content quota of at least 10 per cent on streaming services, harmonise the Producer Offset at 40 per cent and raise the Location Offset to 30 per cent.
The removal of the 65-hour cap for the Producer Offset, closing the New Zealand content ‘loophole,’ maintaining the existing content quota system and establishing terms of trade between broadcasters and producers were among the Greens’ proposals – all policies advocated by Screen Producers Australia.
Labor Senators accused the government of failing to articulate an agenda or vision for the Australian screen and music sectors and of cutting funding for public broadcasting by about $500 million.

Barbecue only very briefly features a cookout, yet it makes up for that absence by serving up a feast of fatuous gibberish about enjoying the time you have with friends and loved ones.
Antoine (Lambert Wilson) is a good-looking, physically fit family man who, shortly before his 50th birthday, suffers an unexpected heart attack. That cataclysmic event compels him to reassess his life, which means that the smug Antoine — who also loves cheating on his wife — decides to eat buttery foods, smoke joints, and act like a condescending prick to that wife and the group of friends who join him on vacation at a gorgeous country estate.
