       *"American Idol" judge Randy Jackson will join Paula Abdul for a duet to be featured on his upcoming CD, "Randy Jackson's Music Club: Vol. 1," which will feature the veteran producer arranging and playing instruments.

        "It's hot," Jackson said of the collaboration on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show. That's about all he would say about the project, choosing instead to keep further details under wraps.      

       Other guests on the album include Richie Sambora, Mariah Carey and Joss Stone, Jackson said, adding that "Idol" host Seacrest would be featured on the album, too, though in what capacity was unclear—even to Ryan himself.      

       "You've heard that technology can make voices better—Paris Hilton, Britney Spears," Seacrest said. "There is not enough Pro Tool in the world to make me sound good on a song."      

       The album is due for release in a couple of weeks, to coincide with the start of the new season of "American Idol."      

       Meanwhile, Abdul is said to be currently recording a studio album of her own, reports E! Online. The CD will be her first since 1995's "Head Over Heels."
