Pia’s $100K party fee

Don’t cry for Pia Toscano, the “American Idol” wannabe from Howard Beach who was dumped prematurely last month.

The 23-year-old singer made a deal over the weekend to sing at a private birthday party this week for a staggering $100,000 fee.

Officials at “Idol” yesterday said they could not immediately confirm the report, first carried on the gossip Web site TMZ.

But, according to the site, Pia first turned down an offer of $50,000 to sing.

The party people then doubled the offer and Pia, who used to be a wedding band singer before making it to the “Idol” finals last winter, accepted.

No word on who was giving the May 8 birthday party or where in LA it was being held.

Toscano was, at one point, considered the best singer in this year’s crop and a good bet to give New York its first “Idol” winner.

Still, she has gotten more attention than anyone else on the show since her shocking dismissal three weeks ago.

Pia, who lived with her parents in the Queens neighborhood right next to JFK Airport, said she plans now to move to LA to begin a recording career.
