Exclusive: American Idol's Pia Toscano Scores a Record Deal!


Well that was fast!

Less than 24 hours after her shocking early American Idol exit, season 10 finalist Pia Toscano has scored a record deal, UsMagazine.com has exclusively confirmed.

The 22-year-old New Yorker -- booted from the Fox series Thursday -- will record her debut album under the Interscope Records imprint, which is chaired by Idol mentor Jimmy Iovine.

"Pia is being signed to a deal with Interscope Records who are rushing her into the studio to record an album ASAP," a source familiar with the contract talks tells Us. "Starting [Thursday] night after the show, Interscope told her they wanted her and first thing [Friday] morning Interscope brass started calling every top songwriter and producer in town to get an album together and rush release it."

As for the contract, the insider says, "Papers are being finalized. It's basically a done deal. She's signing. They rushed everything but she's so excited."

Though Idol fans are still coming to terms with her dismissal, Toscano -- who will hit the road this summer for the Idols LIVE! concert tour -- is taking her bad news in stride.

"You don't know for sure why things happen, but you know, it did!" she told reporters during a Friday conference call. "It was my time to go on the show and I'm excited to see what my future holds."

ONTD has been so messed up for me the past few days, When i get to the second page it brings up old posts from the day before, and i miss a lot of posts.
Is this happening to anyone else??
[info]malloryt12 Re: Somewhat O/T — 9th-Apr-2011 04:55 pm (UTC)
Sorry, bad first comment
[info]lizbabe Re: Somewhat O/T — 9th-Apr-2011 04:55 pm (UTC)
Same thing is happening here. I thought we just didn't have any news. How do we fix it?
[info]malloryt12 Re: Somewhat O/T — 9th-Apr-2011 05:00 pm (UTC)
I don't know :(, i was hoping someone would know what to do.

I'm an ONTD junkie though so I go to the twitter page and get links there
[info]rutalking2me Re: Somewhat O/T — 9th-Apr-2011 05:10 pm (UTC)
i would also like to know how to fix this problem. it's annoying as hell.
[info]thrillisgone_89 Re: Somewhat O/T — 9th-Apr-2011 05:00 pm (UTC)
it has done this to me before, but not recently. it's def annoying tho.
[info]expromqueen Re: Somewhat O/T — 9th-Apr-2011 05:10 pm (UTC)
dis shit is all jacked up :/ oh well i gotta work tonight anyways
[info]aslighttwist Re: Somewhat O/T — 9th-Apr-2011 05:32 pm (UTC)
I seem to only have that problem when I'm not logged in.
[info]imsodeep Re: Somewhat O/T — 9th-Apr-2011 05:33 pm (UTC)
omg thank you I thought I was going crazy
[info]love_alice Re: Somewhat O/T — 9th-Apr-2011 05:39 pm (UTC)
all of lj is under a constant/series of DDOS attacks. usually it just means overloading the servers somehow (i think?), but suffice to say russians are fucking shit up hard rn.
[info]robertsbox_xo Re: Somewhat O/T — 9th-Apr-2011 06:06 pm (UTC)
happened to me earlier this week
[info]lizbabe 9th-Apr-2011 04:55 pm (UTC)
She was my favorite on Idol, but I'm not sure I'll care about her album. She was a big fish in a little pond.
[info]darlingdivine 9th-Apr-2011 04:55 pm (UTC)
Yay for Pia! Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts! :)
[info]flawlessxangel 9th-Apr-2011 04:55 pm (UTC)
Damn that was fast.
[info]baboona 9th-Apr-2011 04:56 pm (UTC)
she has a good voice but zero personality/originality
[info]sumlikeithaute 9th-Apr-2011 05:18 pm (UTC)
mte.
[info]monalq 9th-Apr-2011 05:59 pm (UTC)
Yup.
[info]tiinuli101 9th-Apr-2011 08:23 pm (UTC)
THIS! I like her voice, it's gorgeous, but I don't really connect with anything she sings.
[info]dorkster_mandy 10th-Apr-2011 01:28 pm (UTC)
Very true.
[info]charmqn86 9th-Apr-2011 04:56 pm (UTC)
Good for her. But, don't have hope that her album will do ok at all. People will probably stop caring about this "travesty" and move on.

Its a rarity to see a successful idol contestant/winner.
[info]sergeantquakers 9th-Apr-2011 05:02 pm (UTC)
How dare you imply that legendary talents Ruben Studdard and Fantasia Barrino aren't successful!
[info]thrillisgone_89 9th-Apr-2011 05:07 pm (UTC)
fantasia is successful, tbqh.
[info]thrillisgone_89 9th-Apr-2011 05:02 pm (UTC)
lots of them have been successful. longevity is the problem.
[info]luvthatdrtywata 9th-Apr-2011 07:26 pm (UTC)
yep. i like to call it the 'michael johns effect.' relatively good looking, solid voice, goes early in the comp, america has a collective bitch fit then forgets about them completely before the shows even over.
[info]very_vogue 9th-Apr-2011 04:57 pm (UTC)
Is Idol worth watching this year? I haven't watched since season 8, for reference.
[info]thrillisgone_89 9th-Apr-2011 04:59 pm (UTC)
now that pia's gone, it's not worth watching.
[info]charmqn86 9th-Apr-2011 05:00 pm (UTC)
season 9 was bad. season 10 has basically become another boy's club.
[info]jennyholly2 9th-Apr-2011 05:06 pm (UTC)
no.
[info]tankmachine 9th-Apr-2011 05:10 pm (UTC)
it started off with potential but idk anymore

Pia was one of the best and she landed in 9th place so
[info]darlingdivine 9th-Apr-2011 05:13 pm (UTC)
This.
[info]efface 9th-Apr-2011 05:21 pm (UTC)
No way. The judges are enough to make the show just awful. Everyone is so nice and Steven Tyler is creepy looking and thinks everything is beautiful. One episode was enough to convince me not to watch ever again. Plus, I hate Jennifer Ho-pez.
[info]howlcosmiclove 9th-Apr-2011 05:36 pm (UTC)
Nope
[info]bloody_pickle 9th-Apr-2011 06:03 pm (UTC)
Yes but only because Ryan is being a hilarious bitch this year
[info]bonitaquetal 9th-Apr-2011 04:58 pm (UTC)
We all knew this would happen. She's got the whole package. She's too pretty not to get a deal. I hope she does well.
[info]ggish 9th-Apr-2011 05:37 pm (UTC)
THIS.
[info]luvthatdrtywata 9th-Apr-2011 07:28 pm (UTC)
she has the whole package to win miss america. not to be a pop star. you need a personality and stage presence to be a pop star. i laugh whenever they'd bring up celine or mariah, like you've gotta be kidding me. those bitches have ridiculous personalities, pia is beige wallpaper.
[info]mellawe 9th-Apr-2011 08:10 pm (UTC)
but she's lacking personality . And we already have a Celine Dion
[info]godrixon 9th-Apr-2011 04:58 pm (UTC)
LOVE HER <33333333333333
[info]ugly_jacket 9th-Apr-2011 04:59 pm (UTC)
i expect her to be autotuned and gyrating on my computer screen in no time
[info]mata_harii 9th-Apr-2011 05:00 pm (UTC)
She's really pretty.
[info]bananasnrum 9th-Apr-2011 05:00 pm (UTC)
Next Kelly Clarkson - not.
[info]tj_raoul 9th-Apr-2011 05:02 pm (UTC)
She's miles ahead of Kelly. Hopefully her music will be better too.
[info]helmiwell 9th-Apr-2011 05:05 pm (UTC)
Pia wishes she could touch Kelly vocally.
[info]xo_soccer9 9th-Apr-2011 10:19 pm (UTC)
lol
[info]bloody_hell 9th-Apr-2011 05:01 pm (UTC)
This season is a flop
[info]tj_raoul 9th-Apr-2011 05:02 pm (UTC)
Good for her, her voice is crazy. I love her tone.
[info]helmiwell 9th-Apr-2011 05:03 pm (UTC)
This bitch is so overrated. She can sing but she is wooden as hell on stage and she is so old fashioned.

I prefer Haley.
[info]godrixon 9th-Apr-2011 05:08 pm (UTC)
cool story
[info]crazyventures 9th-Apr-2011 05:11 pm (UTC)
omg icon
[info]supernature_971 9th-Apr-2011 05:29 pm (UTC)
LOL Your icon !
[info]ggish 9th-Apr-2011 05:46 pm (UTC)
this might be a really dumb question, but I won't let that stop me - Is that lady gaga in your icon? it's very marlene dietrich in 'Blonde Venus.' Wasn't sure if that was intentional or not...

i ignored haley at first, i started liking her last week but this week when jacob got through and she went 'oh snap!' she became my favorite. she is fucking adorable. but please, no more cheesy karaoke janis songs girl, you are better than that.
