Stores are stocked with school supplies. Kate, Meredith and Rosie are all hoping we appreciate their points of view and styling choices. And the networks are serving up new crime shows I’ll never watch with titles like “Standoff,” “Justice,” “Vanished,” “Kidnapped” and “The Unit.” (I believe the latter is about a hotheaded penis who doesn’t like to play by the rules.) Yes, the fall is upon us and the summer of ’06 is but a memory. Let’s look back at some highlights -- and lowlights.

NELLY FURTADO’S "PROMISCUOUS" -- You’re darn right, she is. I thought Nellie was over but she pulled a Sandy from Grease, went slutty and came out on top. This song is her version of ONJ putting out the cigarette with her shoe and saying, "Tell me about it, stud."

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA -- During one scene involving fancy outfits, Meryl Streep gives Anne Hathaway a look that’s so withering that I felt I’d been fired in the audience. It was like acting squared.

LANCE BASS -- I’d like to take this opportunity to the former ‘N Syncer to the community of out gay guys trying to make their way in show biz. The water’s fine, Lance. It’s just not very lucrative.

ANOTHER GAY MOVIE -- Not all the gags worked, but this gay-gross out comedy has balls. Unfortunately, the ones you see on screen belong to “Survivor” jailbird Richard Hatch.

QUINCINEARA -- So sweet, smart and subtly powerful: It really got me in the mood to do some gentrifying.

POSEIDEN -- I thought this movie was going to be a big hit and proclaimed so much on the radio show I co-host, Twist. Was I high? Waitress, can I have some whipped cream with my humble pie.
