She may not have won the big prize during her season of 'American Idol,' but Pia Toscano is still walking away with a record deal. The singer, currently getting ready to hit the road with a group of fellow 'Idol' contestants, including winner Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina, for a summer tour, has inked a deal with Interscope, the label founded by her mentor on the show, Jimmy Iovine.

'American Idol' got its second shocking elimination of the season, only this time, the judges weren't able to save Pia Toscano. In a major surprise, the 22-year-old beauty, who wowed America early on with such performances as 'I'll Stand By You,' 'All By Myself' and this week's 'River Deep, Mountain High,' leaves the competition tonight as season 10 wields down to just eight contestants.
