Jon B has opened up about one of the most memorable moments of his career, creating an official remix for Michael Jackson’s You Are Not Alone, as he celebrates 30 years since his debut album.

Speaking to PEOPLE ahead of his Still Got Love Spring/Summer Tour, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and producer, 51, was clear about the significance of the collaboration. 

“I remixed the song You Are Not Alone for Michael Jackson. And it was an official remix. It wasn’t like I just did it on the side. They asked me to do it and I was honored.” 

He added that at the start of his career, he was also managed by the same company as Jackson, deepening the connection between the two artists.

Though he has yet to see the new Michael biopic starring Jaafar Jackson, Jon B has warm memories of working alongside the King of Pop in person. 

“It’s an incredible honor,” he said, emphasising that the collaboration happened “in the same room, really collaborating, not over the phone or via text message or something like that.”

He placed those sessions in the context of a broader career defined by in-person creative partnerships with legends. 

“That’s really my name of the game as far as using the opportunity that I have as an artist to live out my dreams. The first thing for me was, all right, I’m gonna work with all my favorite people.” 

That list included Tupac Shakur and many others.

Jon B’s debut album Bonafide was released in 1995, producing the breakthrough single Someone to Love featuring Babyface, which first appeared on the Bad Boys soundtrack. 

“To [be featured] on my record, my very first song that I ever put out was a tremendous honor for me,” he said of working with Babyface, whom he described as “the pinnacle of all artists for me to want to work with.”

His 1997 follow-up single They Don’t Know from the album Cool Relax remains a live highlight three decades on. 

“It’s still being sung in the club. Everybody’s singing it word for word, and you’re just thinking, ‘Man, that started out as me shedding my feelings.’ As a songwriter, that’s very fulfilling.” 

He calls it the song he is most proud of.

Jon B’s latest album Waiting on You was released in March 2025 and features Tank, Rick Ross, Donell Jones and Alex Isley. His next tour stop is 10 May in Palm Springs.

Renée Zellweger is set to lead the cast of the upcoming feature film A Woman in the Sun, joining forces with fellow Academy Award winner Sissy Spacek and rising star Mia Threapleton. 

The project will see Zellweger take on the role of Claire Keating, a bartender on Nantucket whose life is upended when her mother falls ill and her daughter moves back home. 

Written and directed by Julia Cox, the film explores the struggles of the island’s shrinking middle class as Claire is forced to confront her past and take charge of her future.

The film marks a significant directorial debut for Cox, who previously earned acclaim for writing the Oscar-nominated Nyad. 

Zellweger, who is also producing the project through her Big Picture Co. banner, described the script as a “storytelling treasure” and expressed her excitement about championing Cox as an emerging filmmaker.

Production is scheduled to begin this September, with the project set to be introduced to international buyers during the Cannes Film Festival.

The cast brings together an impressive amount of industry talent. Zellweger, a two-time Oscar winner, recently returned to her iconic role in the latest Bridget Jones film, Mad About the Boy. 

She is joined by Spacek, a six-time nominee and winner for Coal Miner’s Daughter, and Threapleton, who has been making waves in projects for directors like Wes Anderson and Damien Chazelle. 

Rihanna has just added a deeply personal piece to her famous tattoo collection, choosing a design created by her three young children. 

The singer’s go-to tattoo artist, Bang Bang, also known as Keith McCurdy, shared a look at the sentimental new ink on Instagram this Friday, revealing that the Umbrella star had her kids’ scribbles meticulously tattooed onto the back of her knee. 

The artwork was taken directly from a piece of paper decorated with Paw Patrol stickers, which McCurdy used as his reference to recreate the childhood doodles with total precision.

The 38-year-old superstar, who recently welcomed her third child, was seen in social media clips looking relaxed in a black hoodie and sunglasses as McCurdy got to work. 

Rihanna shares her three children, sons RZA and Riot, and eight-month-old daughter Rocki, with her partner A$AP Rocky. 

Fans have already flooded the comments to praise the “heartwarming” choice, with many noting how precious it will be for her to look back on as the children grow up.

This latest addition joins over two dozen tattoos already adorning the singer’s body, many of which McCurdy has personally inked. 

Her collection includes famous pieces like the cascading stars on her neck, an Egyptian falcon on her ankle, and the expansive image of the Goddess Isis on her ribcage. 

She also famously has the phrase “never a failure, always a lesson” written backwards on her collarbone so she can read the motivational reminder whenever she looks in a mirror.

The new tattoo comes just days after Rihanna turned heads at the 2026 Met Gala, where she embraced the “Costume Art” theme in a metallic Maison Margiela gown.
