The Many Stoves of Mario Batali; 1 WTC Grows Up
We realize there's only so much time one can spend in a day watching new trailers, viral video clips, and shaky cell phone footage of people arguing on live television. This is why every day The Atlantic Wire highlights the videos that truly earn your five minutes (or less) of attention. Today: Mario Batali shows off his fancy home kitchen, Bruce Springsteen rewards early arrivals in Los Angeles, and how 1 WTC got so big.

Here's a tour of Mario Batali's home kitchen, courtesy of enthusiastic orange-clogged tour guide Mario Batali.

Here's the second trailer for The Newsroom, Aaron Sorkin's oft-retitled cable news drama. (We were partial to Newsroom, but it's an improvement on More As This Story Develops.) Unlike the first trailer -- which seemed to suggest Sorkin was still in grim Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip mode -- the new footage is peppier, as if Sorkin and HBO realized they were in danger of losing the Sports Night crowd. This should bring them back in the fold. [via HBO]
