Stevie Wonder explains Frank Ocean commentThis must be the holiday weekend for further explanations, because, like Seal before him, Stevie Wonder is also taking a moment to clarify remarks he's made in the press, with his being about hot topic Frank Ocean. Ocean's musical style has drawn comparisons to Wonder's work, and thus the young artist - whose admission that he previously fell in love with a man was met with intense media coverage - was one of the topics in Wonder's recent conversation with U.K. paper The Guardian. Comments: Top five zingers for Russell Crowe[Editor's note: We're listening to readers, and we occasionally like to feature notable comments we see on CNN.com.] Poor Russell Crowe. The Oscar-winning actor from "A Beautiful Mind," "Gladiator," "Robin Hood" and "The Insider" had a little kayaking mishap over the weekend. The Coast Guard had to rescue the actor and a friend off the coast of Long Island after they called for help on Saturday night.

Anyone hoping for the chance of reconciliation between Klum and her ex Seal should prepare to have those hopes dashed. Klum tells CNN in a statement:
That's not an admission that she's seeing someone new - there's been gossip that a romance might have sparked between Klum and her bodyguard - but it is clear that Klum is putting her seven-year marriage to Seal behind her. "My priority," she said in the statement, "has and continues to be protecting and providing for our children.” Kanye considers use of word 'b***h'Kanye raised plenty of eyebrows a few weeks back when he said his song "Perfect B***h" was inspired by his current lady love, Kim Kardashian.

While he didn't acknowledge that song in particular, Kanye did take a moment over the weekend to reflect on the word's use. 'Oogieloves' sets wrong kind of box office recordAs the summer movie season draws to a close, we've got box office champions like "The Avengers" and "The Dark Knight Rises" ... and then we've got question marks like "The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure."
