Adam Lambert teaming up with Kara DioGuardi
A source close to the singer revealed exclusively to EW.com that Lambert recently met with acclaimed producer Linda Perry (Christina Aguilera, Pink, James Blunt); and had writing sessions with Idol judge and in-demand songwriter Kara DioGuardi and Grammy nominated Sam Sparro (”Black and Gold”).

Kylie Minogue is also teaming up with ‘American Idol’ judges Paula Abdul and Kara DioGuardi on her next album. A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Kylie will be in the US on a mini-tour at the end of the summer and she hopes to record some new music with American friends around those dates. “She already has loads of ideas for album number 11.” The Australian pop singer previously worked with Paula and Kara on her 2000 hit ‘Spinning Around’ – which was originally intended to be the single to re-start Paula’s career.

Ashley Tisdale says she was involved in every aspect of the album’s ‘Guilty Pleasure’ production. Her favorite track, “What If,” was a collaboration with the Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, who Tisdale calls “a talented person who knows what she’s doing.” ‘What If’was the last song I recorded, and I just feel like it’s the most personal. It makes me very vulnerable, I think, for everybody to hear it. I don’t want to talk specifics, but the song is about when you’re in a relationship, and you get into arguments, you’re always willing to try and save the relationship. You’re willing to work things out — but the other person is always willing to walk away. So at the end of the day, without all those games, if I needed you, would you be there for me?”

According to a press release, production on “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” will start this summer and will get a big premiere next year on the Disney Channel. Kara DioGuardi has been tapped to pen music for the movie, as well as Toby Gad and a slew of other songwriters. The full soundtrack “will feature a mix of pop, rock, R&B and hip-hop songs.” We will keep you updated on that…

Kara recent studio collaborations also include Leann Rimes, Skillet, Leona Lewis, Carrie Underwood.
Next month, Kara will be working with country groups, Little Big Town and Rascal Flatts.
