'Idol' Castoff Pia Toscano to Sing on 'Dancing With the Stars' for Mark Ballas

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted Apr 19th 2011 09:00PM

After just a few weeks of dating, 'American Idol' castoff Pia Toscano and 'Dancing With the Stars' pro Mark Ballas will be taking their romance public--by appearing on 'Dancing With the Stars' together!

TMZ.com confirms that Toscano will be performing on the ABC hit show next week. And the best part? Her new boyfriend Ballas will be dancing to her song! The deal has been in the works for a while but the terms were finalized Tuesday, TMZ reports.

Toscano will also be appearing on Wednesday's live 'Idol' show for a special cast-off reunion.

It was fellow 'DWTS' contestant Chris Jericho who helped Toscano get a date with Ballas. The wrestler and 'Idol' castoff had mutual friends and it was through Jericho that she managed to exchange phone numbers with the dancing pro.

The New York Post also reports that Toscano didn't bother breaking up with Carlos Nunez, her boyfriend of four years, before she went on a date with Ballas.

This "breaking news" has been discussed elsewhere. She did not dump her boyfriend over Mark. They had parted ways before that. She is young, 22, and should be able to have fun. Leave her alone.

Just another publicity stunt. But since when do dancers get to dance to a specific guest vocalist?

Who cares if Pia's singing on DWTS and she's NOT singing TO Mark! He's just dancing WITH a dance partner to her song, just the way it always is! Stop shoving Pia/Mark down our throats!

Conehead with awful nosejob and zero personality.

This whole thing is either G. W. Bush's fault or a conspiracy by the Tea Party, or some right wing plot, or a racist innuendo.

Not sure what this message is leaving for the other contestants voted off, or, for that matter, the one who go into the finals. They can stop trying because we are giving the props to first Casey, and now Pia. This show this year sucks!

I was so mad when I saw That butt-ugly Mark Ballas and his goon daddy Corky in the audience at America Idol drooling and oogling Pia. I think they might have try to ahve a 3-ways with her. She's just a poor starstruck kid who doesn't know better. I'm packing my bags and heading to Hollywood and plan to introduce myself. I'm better looking and a better dancer than goof-ball Mark. What a homely jerk. When she meets me she will forget about that fool.

Who cares why or how she got there,She is a fantastic talent who is going to hit the big time . Good for her. You go girl

Idol made a mistake by voting Pia off. She has a beautiful voice. So Mark B. isn't a hunk. Don't be so superficial, he seems like a nice guy and until I know different I think he is a great dancer too. Don't be so judgemental.
