>Another Season 8 finalist, Scott MacIntyre, has been keeping busy on the promo trail in support of his post-Idol album Heartstrings. In an interview that took place at Pittsburgh's 100.7 FM, Scott chatted about his experience on the show and the Idol tour. Watch the interview below:




Scott talked about how he's dealt with kidney failure and kept the story from being revealed until after he left the show. Scott also talked about his favorite moment of the season, "Pants On the Ground" man, and proceeded to sing the two most famous lines of the song. He followed that with a backhanded compliment of the remaining Season 9 finalists.

>Bo Bice treated fans to a free download of his latest song, "Coming Back Home," off his forthcoming release 3. Per an e-mail that was sent out to fans:

Bo's got a surprise gift just for you! Check out this track from 3 and let us know what you think on Bo's Facebook page!

>Siobhan Magnus was the latest Season 9 alum to make the talk show rounds following her exit last week, and as usual, the most awkward appearance was on Monday night's episode of CBS's The Late Show with David Letterman. Watch Letterman interrogate Siobhan about her fondness for glass blowing below:




As likable as Siobhan is, she has a habit of talking a minute a mile, especially when she's trying to explain something. But no matter, once Siobhan opened her mouth to reprise "Paint It Black" (aside from "the scream") nothing she talked about before was important anymore.
