What got Adam Lambert talking about funky panties, Kris Allen gabbing about digestion problems and Megan Joy and Anoop Desai saying, "no way"? Your questions, that's what.

We sat down with the touring 10 yesterday and asked them some of the charming questions you'd submitted, and they were kind enough to answer. The gang talks about upcoming projects, life on the road and tease some super secret projects.

Here we go...

Kate: Ask Allison to talk about how she felt about the bra incident in Vancouver.
Allison Iraheta:
Adam and I were singing "Slow Ride," and all of a sudden a bigass pink bra is thrown on the stage, and I picked it up with my foot and threw it to him and we had fun.

Adam Lambert: That was my favorite moment on tour so far. It cracked me up. And then wadded-up panties came onstage, and it looked a bit funky. I picked up the bra and flung it back out in the audience. But the panty, I just slid it around the stage with my foot. I didn't want to touch it.

Zizim: The one question on everyone's minds: Is Anoop really dating Megan Joy?
Megan Joy:
No way. That's not true, and that's an old rumor! No one is dating anyone on this tour.

Anoop Desai: We are all just friends.

Jackie: Kris, what made you eat 10 plums that fateful day?
Kris Allen:
Oh, Twitter. I tweeted it. It was 14 plums, not 10. I was at the studio in a house in L.A., and there was a plum tree there. And they were so good I just kept eating them. Don't ever do that. It's not a good thing. Plums turn into prunes and you know what prunes are used for. It was pretty rough. But they were so good.

Kristina: Allison, what is your debut album going to be like, and who are you working with?
Allison:
It's definitely rock. I'm getting some recording and writing with other awesome writers done out there. I wish I could name them all, but some of them are David HodgesKevin Rudolf and Kara DioGuardi. Kara's songs are amazing. Lyrically, I'm focusing in reality and the world out there right now, my life and what's happened to me in my life.

Anonymous: Question for all Idols: How did you feel about that ridiculous protest outside the San Jose concert on July 12?
Adam: Oh, that was fun. It was six people, and I don't give a s--t. The amount of support, even in Utah of all places, everywhere else has been overwhelming. There will always be people who have their opinions. I don't care.

Leo: Adam, how are you working on the record on the road?
Adam: It's been double duty, and it's been rough. I recorded all day yesterday [Wednesday] in L.A. But that's a secret. It's not for my record, possibly for a soundtrack. That's all I can say. It's not for New Moon, but that would be cool. It's a lot of work. It's like, OK go tour, go record, go write, go do press and photo shoots. But I stay pretty cool under pressure. They have a masseuse backstage, and that helps.

T.T.: Are you guys reading the reviews of the Idol concert tour? Have they created any discussion or friction among the Idols?
Lil Rounds:
I don't read the reviews. Some of the other guys definitely do. I hear it's going great. And in USA Today I was in the headline, but I wouldn't have known that if someone didn't tell me, because I try to stay away from the reviews.

Catira: Matt, you've been killing it on tour! Amazing set. You are so talented! Also wanted to say I am pretty sure you will get signed by a major label after the tour ends. Have you received some label offers already? Any meetings?
Matt Giraud: I've been talking to people, and I'm writing music. I just got hired on for the Michigan-based Yobi.tv for an online singing competition called Make the Cut. I'm the host/judge/mentor. Auditions are going on right now. I'm looking for people who are passionate and different. It's kind of cool to be on the opposite side now. I'm going to channel Paula [Abdul] a bit and be the nicer guy and try to help them out.

Annie: Are the Idols partying like rock stars on tour?
Michael Sarver:
We don't go out much. If we get together and have a drink, we go in one of our hotel rooms. But it's too difficult to go out. Our schedule is pretty busy, so when we have a night off, I like to sit in my hotel room and do nothing.

IdolFan1: Is it true the Idols check into hotels under fake names?
Danny Gokey:
Yes. I can't say what mine is, but I can say it's just a made-up, random name that sounds Italian. Some of them are funny. Some of them are sayings, and one person's is something you have to say in a special way.

MelBear: What is more fun, doing the TV show or touring?
Scott MacIntyre: The tour is much more fun, and it's easier. As far as workload, there is nothing more stressful than being on the American Idol show. We were getting maybe three or four hours of sleep a night some weeks. I'm getting a lot more sleep on tour.
