"I love you!" squealed Paris Hilton, when heckled by thousands of fans. Watch her hit the decks here...

SPLASH

Paris Hilton did a little DJ gig to thousands of fans in Brazil last night only, she seemed to enjoy it a little more than they did.

The 31-year-old heirhead heiress hit the decks at the Sao Paulo Pop Music Festival and did her best Lady Gaga impression in an embellished knickerbocker playsuit and suspenders.

Paris had a ruddy good time waving her flag in the air like she just don't care...

SPLASH

Paris played such chuuunes (we cant pull that off) as Rihannas We Found Love as well as her own new single, Last Night, um, last night.

But there wasnt all that much love in the room for hotel heiress Ms Hilton who was booed as she took to the stage.

In case it's not clear, that's Paris Hilton on stage...

The video features footage of the small town Scotty grew up in with shots of his church, Garner Magnet High School, the local fire station and front porches as well as plenty of footage of Scotty hanging out with his friends and baseball team.

The video also showcases the other side of Scottys life. Cameras follow Scotty on stage for his live show, backstage, meeting fans and on the bus, capturing candid moments such as Scotty snoozing on a bus seat. Directed by Todd Cassetty, the Water Tower Town video is an ode to the place Scotty calls home when hes not on the road and ends with a shot of Garners very own water tower.

GODFREY The pastor of the rededicated Resurrection Lutheran Church said Sunday the building should be more of an oasis or mission post than a warehouse.

The Rev. Ken Tegtmeier said in his sermon that buildings are not ends in themselves but serve a purpose.

Some see the purpose as a place to visit on Sunday to proclaim the Lord, then leave their faith at the church, as you would store items in a warehouse, he said.

But, when seen as an oasis or a mission outpost, the building is merely a place to restore your beliefs and travel out on a journey to proclaim your faith to the outside world, the pastor said.

This place provides us with strength and nourishment for the journey, he said. The journey is more about making God known in our daily lives, Tegtmeier said.

A group of about 75 attended the service in the newly refurbished sanctuary, which was dedicated on the 20th anniversary of the building of the church in Godfrey, where it moved from Henry Street in Alton.

The members visited an outdoor garden containing a statue of Jesus and said a special prayer to dedicate the garden. Special prayers were also offered for the Young Hall, the church offices and the sanctuary.

The church was built 20 years ago at 1211 W. Homer M. Adams Parkway. The cornerstone of the new building was laid June 28, 1992. The building was formally dedicated Sept. 20, 1992.

The first services were held July 18, 1978, at the original building on Henry Street.

The Pennsylvania State Police have made an arrest in a church fire in Dauphin County. Evan Donnelly, 25, was arraigned after he was releaded from the hospital.

Donnelly, from Albany, NY, driving a Subaru Forester, was doing doughnuts in the TA truck stop on SR 39 near SR81.

When a truck driver tried to alert Donnelly that golf clubs had fallen out of his SUV, he became angry and confronted the truck driver.

Donnelly yelled at the driver, smeared blood on his truck and then drove off.

The truck driver called police and told them that Donnelly has allegedly burned down a church.

A long-vacant site in the heart of downtown Los Angeles has been sold to investors who are expected to start work within two months on one of the largest new apartment buildings to be built in the region since the economic downturn.

The seller was Beverly Hills developer Sonny Astani, who secured city approval to build a 700-unit, steel-and-glass apartment building with a rooftop pool on nearly a full city block. It would include enough ground floor retail space for a grocery store and almost an acre of open space.

The development would cost $300 million to build and house about 1,000 residents on what is now a 3-acre parking lot on 8th Street flanked by Grand Avenue and Olive Street. The existing buildings on the block are early 20th-century office structures, facing 7th Street, including the Brockman Lofts.

A 40-foot pool on the roof of the eighth floor surrounded by cabanas, a lounge and barbecues would be the centerpiece of the development, said Astani, who won't be involved in building the project. "It was a complicated structural engineering process to design it," he said of the large pool.

Astani sold the entitled land to a Colorado limited-liability corporation called CPIVG8 for $63 million. At $500 a square foot, it was one of the most expensive land deals ever in downtown L.A., Astani said.

With vacancy falling and rents rising in much of Southern California, apartments are considered a choice investment among many institutional and individual investors.

"Downtown is a great center for job growth, and the multifamily market has stayed vibrant through the downturn," real estate broker Bradford McCarthy of CBRE Group Inc. said.

Astani built the $260-million Concerto, a 30-story condominium tower, a few blocks away at 9th and Figueroa streets. He sold his interest in the property in 2011 after a complex legal battle with hedge fund Starwood Group after federal regulators seized control of Astani's lender.

The patio. Nothing is more synonymous with summer in the city. Heres a collection of Torontos favourites.

You know that saying about how house parties always end up in the kitchen? Well, all of Torontos best parties between June and September end up outside. On Saturday night, for example, my friend and her neighbours overtook the roof of a Sobeys, because on a warm night, you wouldnt dare want to be anywhere but under the skies. Yup, just say the word and youll notice patios are now selling points: youd get dizzy at the number of patio opening parties that have become actual occasions. And I dont just mean people being cute with their backyards. (I was even invited to something actually dubbed a partyio, or patio party.)

Since all the days and alfresco nights are permanently glued together now, lets see if I can remember all the new additions everyones been talking about and/or drinking for free at. First there was the opening of DEQ, the Ritz-Carltons opulentyet somehow underwhelminghalf indoor/half outdoor space. Its fine, and there are fire pits, but it stops being expansive just as you realize it overlooks, I believe, the back of another building. (But the amazing hand-shaken minimalist daiquiri is like chloroform, so youll forget.) And Italian restaurant Piola opened a sorely-needed front sidewalk patio on West Queen West, just shy of Dufferin, creating a feel someone described to me as a taste of Little Italy without the obnoxious. The Thompson Hotel also re-unveiled its rooftop pool space, slightly re-designed with new finishes and, look, more fire. (I also get confused when people bitch that its so exclusive. I think its pitch perfect for Toronto views on any non-weekend day because everyones at work. Just elevator up.) Then Grand Electrics patio opened (yay!) and it looks so cute and side-of-the-road taco stand-ish, but I still see people waiting in line. Tomorrow night, Yorkville-adjacent Malna Restaurant at Avenue and Davenport will open its 14-seat outdoor space, too, andsurprisingly and welcomingly way-off-trendwill take reservations! (Protip: thats just in time for Summerlicious, and the restaurant is participating.)

And last Friday, the Drake Hotel celebrated the opening of its newest summer theme, the carnival-meets-amusement park Drakeland. The Hotel is continuing its tradition of transformation hot off the sizzling successes of last years Summer School and, before that, their first instalment of the seasonal series with Camp Drake. I remember when the buildings Sky Yard was as good as it got for rooftop bliss. Now, weve got healthy competition and more than enough favourites to go around. And I think back to mine: weekends with board games (fine, Scrabble) and half-price wine at The Roxton (379 Harbord Street), Tuesday afternoons hiding at La Hacienda (640 Queen Street West) with those lick-your-fingers nachos, or the ridiculously legit tapas in the velvet night at Julies Cuban (202 Dovercourt Road). Or The Done Right Inn.(Thought: why arent there any rooftop patios that host actual dance parties? We cant be that lame with noise laws.)So, in the spirit of the season and because I am so sick of Best Of lists, I once again surveyed some of Torontos social-est butterflies for a quick compilation favourite outdoor spots worth a trip this summer. And yes, lets have some fun and compare by adding your own recommendations below and comparinglike, maybe, some spots in the east end?

Easy Question. Bairrada (1000 College Street). The back patio is a hidden gem; I almost dont even want to tell the people about it. Its all picnic benches, the food is to die for, the sangria is cheap and if youre down for Euro Cup they have screens for the games. Hands down my favourite patio in Toronto. A close second is probably still the Green Roomalthough, is that place still open? Stefania Yarhi, photographer of the stylish and woman behind Textstyles.ca. (And, yes, according to a Yelp review from May 2012, the Green Room is still poppin.)

I met my guy on the Teatro (505 College Street) patio (well, at the bar technically) so its always been a favourite of mine. Tati Bistro (124 Harbord Street) feels like a treehouse in the very best way. And the Toronto Island Cafthe most idyllic spot in Torontojust got a liquor license so the good just got even better. Alison Lawler-Dean, senior PR manager, Joe Fresh

The Gem Bar & Grill(1159 Davenport Road) is my favourite patio by far. I am a bit biased because its mere blocks from me, but despite my clear subjectivity, its beautiful at night and offers patrons a secluded space adorned with multi-coloured LED lights. (Plus, theres tons of loud-mouth conversations, making for hilarious, overheard, out-of -context scenarios.) Navi Lamba, social media at GCI Canada, and a bystander to last weeks MMVA meltdown

De Ocampo receives from UK’s QE II Order of the British Empire

Abbottstown Borough's new stormwater management ordinance will be ready for adoption within the next few months and will include an exemption for any building of less than 800 square feet.

The new stormwater ordinance that is under consideration in Abbottstown is a variation of the one suggested by Adams County, said borough engineer Chad Clabaugh.

Adoption of a stricter stormwater ordinance is required by the state, said Clabaugh, but each municipality can set exemptions so that property owners are not required to have full stormwater management studies completed on smaller projects.

If the borough did not include a square footage exemption with its new stormwater plan, said Clabaugh, then each and every plan would be required to be prepared by a stormwater management engineer and then be reviewed by the borough engineer.

"The reason we are recommending that exemption is because a two-car garage can be built under 800 square feet," said Clabaugh. "This would allow borough property owners to use a simplified approach for those types of plans and save them a lot of money."

For example, said Clabaugh, a property owner wanting to build a new shed under 800 square feet would only need to fill out an application at the borough office and present the borough with a simple plan showing the location of the intended building, and that it is under the exemption size.

Residents can buy aerial views of their lots for $7 at the Adams County Office of Planning

Clabaugh said that notes on each building on a property will be kept on file indefinitely at the borough office because the exemptions pertain to the total cumulative impervious surface, not just a single project.

"Anytime a property owner is adding to a building and it will exceed the 800 square feet, then they will need to have a stormwater management plan for that project," said Clabaugh.

Clabaugh presented council and the borough solicitor with copies of the proposed stormwater management document. Council directed solicitor Guy Beneventano to review the document and make suggestions for any additions, such as the types of fines that would be included for violations.
