Following the news last week that Angelina Jolie was filing for divorce from Brad Pitt, one person was instantly thrust into the narrative on social media and the tabloids: Jennifer Aniston.

Aniston's divorce with Pitt in 2005 ended a five-year marriage and came amid rumors that Pitt had been unfaithful with Jolie while the two made "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" that year.

Aniston has been in a relationship with actor Justin Theroux ("The Leftovers") since 2011, and the two married in 2015.

As Aniston has stayed quiet about the Jolie-Pitt split, Theroux spoke with Business Insider on Monday about the news while doing press for his next movie, "The Girl on the Train" (opening in theaters October 7).

"As a child of divorce, all I can say is that's terrible news for those children, and that's all you can really say," Theroux said, referring to Jolie and Pitt's six children. "It's boring to sort of comment on anything else. People are having a bad time — that's horrible."

The way Theroux sees it, Aniston being thrust into the marital problems of Jolie and Pitt by the tabloids is just the latest wave of what he calls "nonsense."

"There's an endless appetite for trash, apparently, though everyone would say that they don't have that appetite," Theroux said. "But I think a lot of people do because people buy it. But there are bigger things to b---- about. It's shocking how much bandwidth things can take up when there are far more important things going on in the world."

Everyone remembers their first paying job.

Typically, it isn't the ideal situation, but that paycheck sure made everything a lot better.

Business Insider spoke to several television stars to find out what their first paying gig was. While a few of them were lucky enough to land a showbiz job at a young age, the majority of the stars we spoke to had pretty humble beginnings.

Some stuck close to home, while others found their bounty in restaurants, snack shops, sports arenas, and even a junkyard!

Donald Glover, "Atlanta" (FX)

"I guess other than babysitting, like my brother and sister, I broke down boxes at a teacher’s school supply store."

Ming Na Wen, "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." (ABC)

"My first job was working in my parents’ frickin' restaurant. Those slave-drivers! I was working there at like 12, 13 years old. They'll deny it, of course, because you know! I was waitressing, and then I was a cashier. Yeah, that was how I earned my keep in my family."

Ben Feldman, "Superstore" (NBC)

"Baskin Robbins was my first real job. I was like 14, and I got hired at Baskin Robbins and fired for giving away ice cream. Because I was a 14-year-old who worked at an ice cream store. So yeah, I naturally did what any 14-year-old would do, which is give all of his friends giant, bathtub-sized ice cream scoops. And then, I got fired. That was my first job, and probably the closest I’ll ever have gotten in the real world to ‘Superstore,’ because after that, it was waiting tables constantly."

Less than a year after its release, Adele's "25" album has officially been certified diamond by the RIAA for crossing the 10 million unit sales mark in the U.S.

The singer's last album, the massively successful "21," took nearly two years to achieve diamond status after its release in 2011, and it currently boasts a sales mark of 14 million units sold. 

Adele has also become the first woman to achieve two diamond certified albums in the U.S. since Britney Spears sold over 10 million copies of "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops I Did It Again" in 1999 and 2001, respectively, according to Vulture.

It took 45 weeks for "25" to become certified diamond. The only albums that have sold as many copies in less time were NSYNC's 2000 album "No Strings Attached" (43 weeks) and Backstreet Boys' 1999 hit "Millennium" (29 weeks), according to Rolling Stone. 

Adele's lead single from "25" has also been certified 7-times platinum by the RIAA as of last week.

Seth Meyers has really hit a groove in the last few weeks with his “A Closer Look” segments which have examined everything from the Trump birther remarks to the befuddling cable news coverage of the bombing that occurred in Manhattan and New Jersey. 

On Monday night, the “Late Night” host delved into the first presidential debate between nominees Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and he had a lot to say.

The almost 12-minute segment is a hilarious breakdown of all the highlights, from Trump’s pleads for someone to call Fox News commentator Sean Hannity to Clinton’s shimmy.

And then there’s the observation of Trump being so unprepared for the debate that, “at one point it looked like he maybe forgot Hillary’s name,” said Meyers.

Then there's Clinton landing her “trumped up trickle-down” economics zinger with the grace of “Miracle on the Hudson” pilot “Sully” Sullenberger.

“You just expect an explosion of goose feathers,” said Meyers.

Amazon is readying its own separate music service to compete with Apple Music and Spotify, and “will release more details in the coming weeks,” according to Bloomberg, which cites a person with knowledge of the matter.

The streaming plan will reportedly cost around $5 per month and Bloomberg says Amazon will "probably lose money on the monthly fee."

That should scare competitors like Apple, Spotify, and Pandora. Why? Because it suggests Amazon is prepared to lose a big chunk of money on the service if that means making Amazon's Echo speaker family and its Alexa digital assistant part of your everyday life.

Let’s say Amazon loses $5 per person, per month, on the service. That's a lot of money, but it would still probably be worth it, according to Greg Portell, an analyst at consulting firm A.T. Kearney. "Amazon’s currency is engaged users, not subscribers to a music streaming service," he told Bloomberg. "If music helps them get you on their platform, the benefits for Amazon far exceed $5 a month.”

We don't yet know what the full feature set for Amazon's music service will be, and it could end up having a lot more limitations than the all-you-can-eat buffet of Spotify or Apple Music. An earlier report from Recode's Peter Kafka said this cheaper plan will only work with Amazon's Echo player, citing industry sources.

But if Amazon can afford to lose $5 per person, it potentially could put out a product that could compete with Spotify and Apple, and put them in a tough position. Spotify lost $194 million last year, and is reportedly looking to IPO in the second half of 2017. It’s hard to make money selling subscriptions to music streaming services, especially if Amazon doesn't have to, and is trying to poach your customers.

The video playbook

Amazon has benefited from similar positioning in the video streaming market, where it competes with the likes of Netflix, HBO, and Hulu.

"We get to monetize [our subscription video] in a very unusual way," Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said this summer. "When we win a Golden Globe, it helps us sell more shoes. And it does that in a very direct way. Because if you look at Prime members, they buy more on Amazon than non-Prime members, and one of the reasons they do that is once they pay their annual fee, they're looking around to see, 'How can I get more value out of the program?' And so they look across more categories — they shop more. A lot of their behaviors change in ways that are very attractive to us as a business. And the customers utilize more of our services."

Amazon can use TV shows and music to help it sell more shoes, Echo speakers, or Prime subscriptions. Bezos doesn’t have to sweat the margins in the same way as competitors like Spotify or Netflix, whose entire business is built around a single offering.

The Academy might have a lot to thank Denzel Washington for.

The actor directed and starred in a movie adaptation of August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Fences," which will likely decrease the chances of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy from happening for a third straight year.

"Fences" is one of Wilson's classics that examines the African American experience by following the Maxsons, a black family in 1950s Pittsburgh. Troy (Washington) is a former star baseball player who now works as a garbageman and struggles to provide for his family. 

Washington won a Tony Award for his performance of the lead role in the 2010 Tony Award-winning revival of the play. He performed opposite Viola Davis, who played Troy's wife Rose and also won a Tony for her performance. Davis reprises her role in Washington's film adaptation.

"Fences" is likely to garner a lot of attention for offering black actors a chance to break into the award races, and Wilson's work stands the test of time.

The film is set to be released nationwide on Christmas.

"The Daily Show" went live after the first presidential debate concluded Monday night, and host Trevor Noah took the opportunity to rip into some of Donald Trump's debate missteps, including his odd "sniffing" problem.

Noah started out by dismissing Trump's claim that Hillary Clinton had been "fighting ISIS" for her "entire adult life."

"ISIS has been around since 2004," Noah said. "So that would make Hillary 26 years old? And she can't be 26 because Donald Trump wasn't hitting on her. I don't understand."

The host proceeded to criticize Trump's claim that avoiding federal taxes made him "smart."

"I'm sorry, what? Dude, taxes are a responsibility, not something to evade," Noah said. "You're running to be the No. 1 citizen of a country. You shouldn't brag about ways you found ways to get around the rules."

Noah concluded with a humorous montage of the sniffing sound Trump made throughout the debate, which was so persistent that it led Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and presidential candidate, to question whether it was due to cocaine use. Trump suggested afterward that the sound was caused by the microphone he was using.

"I don't want to start any rumors, but there's a reason I think Trump didn't do well," Noah said. "I'm not sure and I'm not trying to start rumors, but Trump was sniffing a lot at the debate ... He was probably sniffing all of the bulls--- he was saying."

While blockbusters like "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and "Avatar" have demolished box-office records, they're still no match for the heavy hitters of years past when you adjust for inflation.

So for this list, we looked at domestic box-office grosses adjusted for inflation to see what old movies would have made in today's dollars, as calculated by Box Office Mojo. That means there's no "Avatar" on this list.

The original 1977 "Star Wars" comes in high, but not quite first. You might be surprised by some of the other titles.

Watch out, "Real Housewives," "Big Brother," and "Survivor" — Netflix is getting into the business of reality TV.

"We are embarking on a lot of unscripted programming," Netflix's chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, said during a Royal Television Society event in London on Tuesday, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

According to Sarandos, the streaming company has about 20 unscripted shows in production. He even named one type of reality show that the company was especially interested in.

"The newest thing we're encroaching on are competition shows," Sarandos said.

As an example, Sarandos pointed to Netflix's "Ultimate Beastmaster" project with Sylvester Stallone attached as an executive producer. Netflix's first competition show, "Ultimate Beastmaster" will feature 108 contestants from around the world who tackle physically tough obstacle courses until only one person is left standing.

This push into unscripted television is just part of Netflix's bid to double its number of original programs for the fifth year in a row. It now has 30 scripted originals in production along with 35 kids programs and 60 documentaries.

Original productions are attractive to Netflix, The Hollywood Reporter points out, because they are watched more than licensed shows and help build Netflix's brand as a quality entertainment destination.

"This year, we had 17 different shows for 54 Emmys," Sarandos highlighted.

At least one person in entertainment doesn't see Netflix's original programming growth as a good thing. John Landgraf, the president of FX, said last month that he thought that there were too many shows on TV and that quality would suffer with increased programming.

FX has about 17 shows, and Landgraf said he may be able to keep up with 20 or 21 maximum.

"You could give me all the money in the world and I couldn’t supervise 71 shows the way I do ours," he said.

What do you do when you can’t sell your apartment? If you're Kelsey Grammer, you team up with your next door neighbor, tech CEO Larry Mueller, to try to sell your condos together. The pair listed a combination apartment at the Jean Nouvel-designed building at 100 Eleventh Avenue yesterday for a grand total of $19.6 million.

Grammer listed his individual apartment for $9.75 million back in July, while Mueller's apartment has been on the market since April for $9.85 million (originally $10.6 million). Both men bought their pads in 2010, Grammer for $6.4 million and Mueller for $5.74 million.

Combined, their apartments encompass the entire 19th floor of the building for a total of 5,750 square feet, with four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. It comes with terrazzo floors, motorized window shades and 11-foot ceilings.

Mueller made headlines in 2010 when he sold an apartment he paid $6.1 million for at Robert A.M. Stern’s 15 Central Park West for $13.73 million. When he bought the Nouvel pad, he told the Observer, "I think it will be a great investment." He does not seem to be having the same real estate luck he once did, but maybe all he needs is a famous friend with an equally fabulous apartment.

"Forza Horizon 3"

"Forza Horizon" is the "Fast & Furious" of racing games. It's reverent of cars, sure, but its focus is on fun. "Forza Horizon 3" is all about making you, the player, happy all the time. It gives you a huge world to explore — a massive section of Australia — and hundreds of cars. 

The game's selection of vehicles is, to put it lightly, very large. Over 350 vehicles of all types are in the game, and they can all be tuned as you like. It's gorgeous and fun and — best of all — respectful of your time. Check out our full review right here.

Release date: September 27

Platform: Xbox One and PC (Windows 10 only)

"Mafia 3"

In "Mafia III," you are Lincoln Clay: an orphan who found a family in the black mob of New Bordeaux. After returning from Vietnam, Clay's adopted family is killed by the Italian mafia, which sets off Clay's quest for revenge. 

At its heart, "Mafia III" is an open-world crime game in the same vein as "Grand Theft Auto." But where the latter goes for a satirical take on American culture, this game aims to feel as authentic to its fictional version of New Orleans as possible. 

Release date: October 7

Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

"Gears of War 4"

"Gears of War 4" focuses on JD Fenix, the son of the original trilogy's main character. Along with his friends Kait and Del, he fights all sorts of nightmarish creatures in a post-apocalyptic landscape.

But let's not kid ourselves: You're here to shoot, stomp, and chainsaw the so-called Locust, right? Right. "Gears of War 4" has all that and more. (And when we say more, we mean a grizzled, elderly Marcus Fenix with a sweet beard, as seen above.)

"Westworld" is HBO's latest show with potential to be everyone's new obsession. Filled with intrigue and mind-bending futurism, "Westworld" paves its own way in masterful fashion through questions that are hyper-relevant to our current exploration into robotics engineering and artificial intelligence. The show manages this while maintaining a fantastical element of late 1800s Western society and confronting viewers with questions of their own empathy and potential for cruelty.

"Westworld" is based on the 1973 movie of the same name, written and directed by Michael Crichton (of "Jurassic Park" fame). The concept of the HBO show is essentially the same: In the future, humans have advanced technology to the point where anthropomorphic robots are indistinguishable from real people. These robots (or "hosts") are placed in a gigantic theme park where guests pay exorbitant fees to visit and pretend they are living in ye olde Western times.

The original movie centers on a parent company called Delos which contains three parks: Western World, Medieval World, and Roman World. As far as we can tell from press screeners given, showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have pared Delos down and are only focusing on Western World — hence "Westworld."

By focusing on one location, the HBO series is able to deepen its narrative and expand the cast of characters. The biggest strength of "Westworld" is the writing's ability to draw in viewers with the mythology of the theme park. We are teased again and again with glimpses into the park's 30-year-old history, and learn more about the possibly dark past of each human and host character.

At each episode's end, viewers will wish the season was a binge-able Netflix series like "House of Cards," but the weekly anticipation will pay off just as "Game of Thrones" successfully delivers Sunday after Sunday. We certainly hope it eventually draws in a "Game of Thrones"-sized fan base, since Nolan and Joy already have five full seasons planned out and season one has us eager to discover more.

Sex and violence is a given. Robots that look and feel human at the disposal of rich park goers looking for a rowdy good time? It's only a matter of time before a host gets raped or murdered (or both). The writers tread this inevitability carefully — yes there's gore and uncomfortable assaults, but it never goes into gratuitous territory. The camera pulls back and leaves viewers to their own imaginations at the right time. 

That brings us to the heart of the story "Westworld" aims to tell. 

As trailers have revealed, Westworld begins to run into issues with its hosts becoming self-aware. Nolan spoke with Entertainment Weekly about their chosen starting point for the series:

When it comes to the question of consciousness, we always start with ourselves as the answer. As the be-all-end-all. It's understandable – we're the only consciousness we’re familiar with. But we wanted to challenge that assumption. The 'hosts' are discovering that they've been created in our image, but beginning to question if 'humanness' is really what they want to aspire to.

What does it mean to be human? If something looks and feels human, and is capable of displaying emotional actions and reactions, should we empathize with it? Kill it? Rape it? What moral obligations do humans have to their robotic creations, especially ones forced into such violent narratives?

"Westworld" confronts its audience with these questions and much more. The stellar cast (which includes Anthony Hopkins, Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright, and Thandie Newton) will seduce you into their universe of intrigue while keeping you entertained and in awe — similar to how the fictional park guests likely feel when they step into Westworld. 

We won't say much more, since the viewing experience is enhanced if you don't know much about the individual characters, but this new series is definitely a must-watch. Tune into the series premiere on Sunday, October 2 at 9 p.m. EST, and see for yourself why "Westworld" is a universe worth diving into head first.

One of the world's most popular first-person shooters, "Destiny," may see some huge changes in its sequel,  according to a new report on Kotaku. 

First things first: "Destiny 2" could be coming to PC in addition to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. 

The first "Destiny" is a console exclusive — it's playable on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. No PC. The latest expansion, "Rise of Iron" (pictured above), is the first to exclude both the Xbox 360 and PS3 — their older tech was holding back the game from doing bigger things.

It looks like "Destiny 2" will continue this trend, but its availability could expand to the PC as well.

Beyond what we already learned about the upcoming sequel from previous leaks, the report says that "Destiny 2" will feel more like a living world, "with towns, outposts, and quests."

The game is also said to address many of the bigger complaints that players have about the game. "This is the overhaul to fix big things," a source told Kotaku. The game's publisher, Activision, didn't respond to a request for comment as of publishing.

Over the weekend, I made my way down to Anaheim, California, right on Disneyland's doorstep, for Minecon 2016— the fifth annual gathering of Minecraft players and enthusiasts from all over the world. 

I went in not sure what to expect: I play Minecraft with my nephews, but I had never been around so many other Minecraft fans before, and I'm not what you'd call a super-fan.

With an estimated 12,000 Minecraft lovers in attendance, this was digging myself in deeper than ever before. Still, it means that just about two years after Microsoft bought Minecraft developer Mojang for $2.5 billion, the game's growth has not slowed down whatsoever.

The first thing I learned was that Minecraft videos on YouTube are serious business. Any time YouTube was even mentioned, the sheer level of cheering and clapping from the many kids in attendance felt like being at an Elvis Presley/One Direction double bill concert.

But the bigger thing I came away with was just how much Minecraft means to the kids of the world, and how much of a family affair the game really is. If nothing else, I'm more convinced than ever that Minecraft is here to stay for a very long time. 

Here's what it was like on the ground at Minecon 2016.

During the opening ceremonies, the host asked three kids from the crowd what they were most excited for. All three of them said "the chance to meet YouTubers."

Drew Barrymore is no doubt best-known for her huge Hollywood roles in blockbuster titles — "E.T," "Charlie's Angels," "Never Been Kissed," and "Donnie Darko" — and while she still plays a major role in the movie and TV industry through her production company Flower Films, a big focus of her life now is situated at the helm of her cosmetics business.

Barrymore founded Flower Cosmetics in 2013, which offers an affordable cosmetics line, sold exclusively at Walmart.

The cosmetics industry has many established players and the sector is extremely competitive; something Barrymore clearly knew a thing or two about when she launched Flower — her ex-husband's father, Arie Kopelman, is the CEO of Chanel.

Speaking to Business Insider at Advertising Week New York on Wednesday, Barrymore explained the three reasons why she made the leap.

"It was getting my sort of college degree in being a co-creative director for Cover Girl for eight years, being part of the campaigns, and concepts, and marketing, and photography," she said. "Working with [makeup artist] Pat McGrath and trying to drive the brand into something I felt like could best serve, as well as the women we were trying to reach gave me so much education that it felt like a waste not to do something with it."

Barrymore then joked: "I've also been in a makeup chair since I was 6-years-old and had the fortune of working with the icons of the beauty industry, so learning, being in love with products, pigments, brands, companies, and just being a constant student of makeup."

She described the third reason as a "hybrid" of the love of makeup and the advertising of it.

"I think there's such a crucial necessity for positive messaging so that women feel empowered and are not making themselves up to be something else," she said. "It's always about being the best you. Who you are inside and your joy levels and a smile is better than any lipstick. It's sort of anti-makeup messaging, but I think it's more human-messaging and the rest will fall into place."

What most surprised Barrymore about running a cosmetics line was the "level of time-consuming anxiety" that comes with constantly attempting to track down the latest innovations.

Barrymore said: "That's really what the beauty game is all about. It's about constant new-to-market products. So traveling to labs and creating 30 to 50 new products every single year is so much more all encompassing and consuming than I would have assumed."

"When we launched, we launched with 180 products and that felt like an undertaking. But every year there are 30 to 50 [new products]. Chasing innovations and being competitive with the labs is one of the most challenging and exhausting [aspects] but when you win a victory, you feel like you want to throw a party. You got that formula? This is a good day," Barrymore added.

The Flower brand has since expanded into other verticals including eyewear and a recently announced home line. We asked where she might take it next.

"[The idea is] to build the branches of your tree from a nucleus. The nucleus is color cosmetics with Flower: Fragrance, brushes, bags, eyewear — things that naturally evolve and don't feel like they are greedy and all over the place," Barrymore said.

"With the [home] line comes the love of home, and design, and lifestyle — those are natural branches to that tree. Slow and steady wins the race and being on point with what you're trying to do, rather than just throwing it out there and seeing what sticks," she said.

As far as marketing is concerned, Barrymore remarked that there has never been more content available from beauty bloggers and companies offering makeup "how-tos."

"If anything, it's overloaded. Where do I begin to go down the rabbit hole of people showing their knowledge, application, love, passion, their latest thing? It's all being shared out there and that's fun to see major companies that used to just rely on TV and print accessing these women bloggers out there and wanting them to talk about their products because it's a more human channel," Barrymore said.

As for herself, Barrymore says Instagram is her online channel of choice. The actress, producer, and entrepreneur has more than 5.3 million followers and regularly shares updates about her businesses.

"Instagram: that's my platform. I need one and one only.  I've never done Snapchat, never done Twitter. Facebook is important but I'm personally invested in Instagram — that's my channel," she said.  

Barrymore participated in an Advertising Week New York panel on Tuesday afternoon with her ex-husband Will Kopelman's father Arie Kopelman, who is the CEO of Chanel, and her ex-husband's brother-in-law, ad tech company Kargo's founder and CEO Harry Kargman.

Donald Trump and his supporters have been doing all they can to spin his performance during the first presidential debate with Hillary Clinton on Monday. So "Late Night" host Seth Meyers decided to examine the spin in a new edition of "A Closer Look."

"All Trump had to do was be a normal person and he would've been declared the winner," the host said. "And yet, he still managed to lose."

Meyers then took a look at the conservative political pundits, who couldn't even argue that he won the debate, although they provided a lot of excuses for him. Several touted the first 10-to-30 minutes of the debate, in which Trump was the most effective. Others accused Clinton of acting "smug" and even "unattractive."

"She didn't look attractive?" refuted Meyers. "Donald Trump's face looked like someone was making a fist inside a sock puppet."

And leave it to Trump to actually declare he had won the debate, citing a poll from conservative news site Drudge, and even CBS, though CBS wasn't aware it had done so. Meyers referred to a tweet from CBS News' chief White House correspondent.

"In the end, even if you're a Trump supporter, you have to agree it wasn't a great night for the Republican nominee," Meyers concluded.

DON'T MISS: Our review of "Forza Horizon 3"

In case you don't know, "Forza Horizon 3" is the latest entry in the long-running "Forza Horizon" series.

The "Forza Horizon" series is about about racing hundreds of different cars, trucks, buggies, and all mess of other vehicle.

In "Forza Horizon 3," the game's open-world is a massive section of Australia.

Celebrity chef Alton Brown offers a laundry list of useful high-tech kitchen gadgets at the beginning of his new cookbook, "EveryDayCook."

There's the electronic food scale, the propane torch, and (of course) the nitrous oxide foamer — to name just a few.

You can be forgiven if you're an average home cook and don't have all these items. But the "Cutthroat Kitchen" host says there's one item no kitchen should be without: a sturdy pair of springloaded tongs.

"I cannot function without spring-loaded tongs," he tells Business Insider.

If it's any indication how seriously Brown takes his tongs, one of the first pages in "EveryDayCook" is an overhead shot of him lying on a table surrounded by his many favorite gadgets. Aside from his trusty Brooklyn Cut chef's knife, the only gadget his hand is none other than a pair of spring-loaded tongs.

"The standard-issue, non-locking spring-loaded tongs that I'm clutching in this picture are so indispensable," Brown writes, "that many line cooks often refer to them as 'my hands.' I have three pairs just so I don't have to worry about losing one."

And don't bother with the locking ones, he says. "They're a pain in the butt."

Unlike his earlier books, Brown tells Business Insider, "EveryDayCook" is less of an instruction manual and more of a catalog of good-neighbor recipes. He wants to offer more straightforward dishes that assume some level of savvy on the part of the reader.

But that doesn't mean Brown's food is boring. The fact you need a canister of pressurized nitrous oxide to make a stack of pancakes should give you an indication how Brown approaches cooking.

"Those kinds of things usually come out of some kind of free association, where I'll read or see something where somebody's done something related," he says. "Something will spark you about that."

Tongs are an important tool in getting to that level of creativity because they offer an easy way to quickly manipulate a wide variety of foods. You can grab entire cuts of meat, transport vegetables, and toss pasta in a sauce all with the same tool (though perhaps after a quick wipe with a towel).

No other cooking implement offers a similar degree of dexterity. You can claw at boiling lobsters one moment and mix a salad the next.

You might not instantly possess the skill or knowledge Brown has, but at least you'll do yourself some favors in minimizing cooking time and maximizing eating time.
