UFC fighters Tito Ortiz and Rashad Evans went to war last night in Philadelphia, to determine who would get a light heavyweight title shot against the winner of the upcoming Jon "Bones" Jones vs Quentin "Rampage" Jackson fight.

Evans was in the best shape of his career and it showed, as he dominated the bout. He ended it with a vicious knee to the body, followed by several hard punches to the face, prompting the referee to call a hault to the bout with seconds remaining in the round.

It was a good call by the referee.

Ortiz was gracious in defeat, admitting Rashad was the better man on the night.

“I have to take my hat off to Rashad,” Ortiz said. “I came in here and gave it my all. I have nothing to take back. He beat me at my best and he beat my ass.”

Now Rashad has to wait to find out who his next opponent will be, but he doesn't seem worried regardless.

“I want to get on Jon Jones and get my belt back. Whether he has it or Rampage, I’m getting my belt," Rashad said.

Drake is one of those artists who isn't afraid to show emotion in his records. That's not unusual for r&b artists, but in hop it's rarely, if ever seen. His fans obviously dig it because his debut album 'Thank Me Later' is certified platinum, and he consistently packs arenas for live shows.

Drizzy's emo side was on full display again Thursday (August 4) during his show at The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor. in Canada.

The 24-year old expressed his love for fellow Young Money artist Nicki Minaj, and lamented the fact they aren't as close as they used to be.

"Maybe I should call up Nicki Minaj and tell her how much I love her and how proud of her I am," he said. "Because it feels like ever since we became famous we don't talk anymore. And all I want to do is hear her voice for once in my life.... maybe I should. And that's real sh*t too."

Yeah Drake... maybe you should.

Kelly Rowland is enjoying huge success with her new album 'Here I Am,' but the finished product didn't come without a lot of hard work.

In this new interview with Artisan News Service, the Texas beauty talks about the process of putting the project together.

"The biggest obstacle in getting the album done was probably having everything ready, and putting all the songs together -- the sequencing," Kelly said. "I recorded maybe 50-60 songs for this album. So choosing them all and making it happen and the album title 'Here I Am.' I just really wanted it to be a definitive moment for me, and I got a chance to have that happen."

'Here I Am' currently sits atop Billboards Hip Hop/R&B albums chart.

As we previously reported, Big Sean is in trouble after an upstate New York woman complained she was sexually assaulted during a concert last Thursday.

Big Sean, real name Sean Anderson, and another man, Willie Hansbro, were both charged with misdemeanor counts of forcible touching, unlawful imprisonment and sex abuse.

However, Sean is denying the allegations. He released a statement to Miss Info yesterday through his lawyer, Scott E. Leemon.

“Last night, recording artists, Sean “Big Sean” Anderson and Willie “Sayitainttone” Hansbro were arrested and then immediately released by the NY State Police in connection with an allegation made by a female who was at their concert in Lewiston, New York. Both men were charged with misdemeanors and they both vehemently deny the allegations. I am confident, that after further investigation, both men will be vindicated.”

During her tour stop in Houston last Friday [July 29], Katy Perry paid homage to UGK by performing an acoustic version of their hit collaboration with Jay-Z, "Big Pimpin."

Props to Katy, but this would have been a lot better if she would have brought Bun B out to represent for H-Town, and his late rhyme partner Pimp C.

How do you think Katy did?

Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's downgraded the U.S. credit rating for the first time ever from AAA to AA+.

John Chambers, the head of sovereign ratings for S&P, told CNN much of the blame falls on the hands of Congress and it's inability to stabilize the country's debt situation with the deficit reduction plan that was passed on Tuesday.

"Our political view of the United States have been altered," Chambers said. "We've taken the rating down a notch. The political brinkmanship over raising the debt ceiling was something that was really beyond our expectations. The U.S. getting to the last day before they had cash management problems. There are very few governments that separate the budget process from the debt authorization. And we also think more broadly that this debate -- although we do have an agreement that will deliver $2.1 trillion dollars in savings over the next decade, it's gonna be difficult to get beyond that, at least in the near term. And you do need to get beyond that before the debt to GDP ration is going to stabilize."

So what exactly does all this mean?

The New York Daily News reports that it hit will hit Americans directly in their pocketbooks by raising borrowing costs.

With the country's trust factor dented by political haggling in Washington, the fallout has the potential to affect mortgage rates, credit card bills and boost borrowing costs for American consumers and companies.

The downgrade could further weaken an already-fragile economy by undermining investors' faith in U.S. bonds, increasing borrowing costs and further slowing whatever chance there was of a recovery.

It could also increase the cost of home mortgages, auto loans and other types of lending tied to interest rates paid on U.S. Treasuries.

JPMorgan Chase estimated that a cut would raise the nation's borrowing costs by $100 billion a year, Bloomberg News reported.

Republicans and Democrats are already pointing their fingers at each other, which is what helped to get us here in the first place. Our political parties have to find a common ground and be able to work together if things are going to get better.

Several weeks ago we got our fist look at Bane from the Warner Bros. movie 'Dark Knight Rises,' now we get a peek of Catwoman as played by Anne Hathaway.

The character doesn't resemble any of the ones from Batman movies of years past (no cat ears?), but that might turn out to be a good thing as director Christoper Nolan usually has a few tricks up his sleeve.

We'll find out when 'Dark Knight Rises' hits theaters summer 2012.
