1) Soy(latte) Green

Healthy, and just trendy enough to offset the Coldplay CD you bought at the counter: Starbucks’ new, summertime-only iced green tea drinks.

2) Walken the comic

Christopher Walken in “Wedding Crashers”: his most lacerating statement on suburban boredom since his comically suicidal Duane in “Annie Hall.”

3) Haute haute heat

Theater of the baroque: The Paris couture shows wrapped up this week, with breathtaking collections from Chanel and Christian Lacroix (right).

4) Love stories

Gen X has “Before Sunrise” and “Before Sunset”; older cineastes have Ingmar Bergman’s “Saraband,” his

follow-up to 1974’s “Scenes From a Marriage.”

5) Drunks

The upcoming “Thin Man” collection on DVD: Myrna Loy and William Powell as the bubbliest, sharpest, most sozzled screwball comedy couple ever.

6) Brats

Walking the line between potential child abuse, exploitation and misguided good will like no one since Michael Jackson: the ABC execs who greenlit the kids-in-crisis reality show “Brat Camp.”

7) Satanic verses

Proving the church’s cultural relevance, Pope Benedict XVI weighed in on “the Harry Potter matter” (as far back as 2003!) warning that the books “deeply distort Christianity.” We eagerly await the encyclical on the ramifications of

Brangelina.

8) Star exclusives

Disgusting yet intrepid: the dispatching of two Star magazine reporters to Ethiopia, to interview the bereft, poverty-stricken grandmother of the recentlyadopted Zahara Jolie, who claims the child was “taken from me.” Or, as Star puts it, “Talk about a lucky baby!”

9) Killer vids

The best thing about the new Killers video for “All These Things I’ve Done” (aside from its shameless stealing of U2’s ages-old “Joshua Tree” imagery): Even the band admits they don’t understand what it means.

10) Stewart’s crusade

Devoting a huge chunk of airtime to delivering the simplest, clearest explanation of the burgeoning Karl Rove scandal: Jon Stewart on “The Daily Show,” further proving the tragic irrelevance of your nightly news.
