Piping hot

The first freshly brewed episodes of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" for Netflix don't disappoint. Jerry Seinfeld continues to loosen up his fellow comedians with the lure of shared stage secrets and bottomless cups of joe. Among the highlights: Kate McKinnon interpreting burps, Dana Carvey revisiting the Church Lady and Jerry Lewis, who passed away shortly after his joy ride, getting teased for inhaling bacon. Stick around until the end of the Zach Galifianakis interview for a bonus edition of "Between Two Ferns" with an unexpected guest.

Boys of summer

Now that hoops heads know where LeBron James is going to play next season, it's time to preview other remade rosters in the NBA. It's an "NBA Summer League" triple-header of rivalries featuring rookies and no-names: the Celtics vs. 76ers, Mavericks vs. Suns, and Clippers vs. Warriors. No, DeMarcus Cousins won't be playing for Golden State this summer.

Wiig-y wedding

Maya Rudolph's character is getting married in "Bridesmaids" (2011), and her sad-sack maid of honor, Kristen Wiig, needs to meet the bridesmaids, who include Melissa McCarthy, queen of gross-out gags. Wiig received an Oscar nomination for co-writing the screenplay.
