Weekend Picks: Brody Jenner’s Bday & Haute Fall Fashion

Even though it’s only Wednesday, I’m as antsy as you are for the week to end. With the heat index continually rising, it’s almost an Indian summer. And with the heat wave comes even hauter events. Ditch the Air and Water show for these weekend picks.

Saturday, 10-3 am

Join the reality tv party boy as he celebrates his b-day in the Chi.  If you’ve caught him on the Hills or the Kardashians, you know this reformed playboy knows how to party. Maybe girlfriend Avril will be in tow?
