“American Idol” is about to get a Loud awakening. Rihanna will heat up the stage when she returns to the hit show next week.
Fresh off her “California King Bed” duet with Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles at the ACM Awards, the “S&M” singer will perform an unspecified song from her Loud album on Thursday’s results show. This is not her first appearance on the ratings juggernaut, having performed “Rockstar 101” a year ago.
Returning “Idol” champ Kelly Clarkson will also share the bill with the red-haired siren. Past performers on this season include Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, Diddy-Dirty Money, and the Black Eyed Peas.
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."
