In what Tom Bergeron said was "thanks to our friends at Fox and a little show called 'American Idol'--I don't know if you've ever heard of it," Pia Toscano, the Celine-esque ballad belter whose castoff two weeks ago showed that the teenybops with their AT&T cell phones texting away were knocking off female vocalists one by one and leaving the cute boys alive, will be performing next Tuesday night on "Dancing"'s results show, while current BFF and "Dancing" pro Mark Ballas will be dancing to her performance--"Idol" co-owner 19 Entertainment, who manages Toscano and all of the "Idol" finalists, said that the gig didn't conflict with "Idol"'s Wednesday and Thursday telecasts and gave the approval (she'll be performing on "Idol"'s results show tomorrow night):
