Beyonce celebrated Mother’s Day this weekend by writing an open letter to her mother Tina Knowles:

“Dear Mama, Everything I am is Because of you! You are the first voice that ever sang to me. At every turn you push me to be better. You teach me to be true to myself and the ones I love. When I look into your eyes, I am sooo proud. Now that I’m a mother, I truly realize all the sacrifices you made for us. My love for you goes Beyond what I can say. Happy Happy Mama’s Day! Love, Beyonce.

LAS VEGAS – Just a few weeks before he heads to jail for the summer, Floyd Mayweather Jr. earned a bit of cash for the canteen on Saturday by lifting the World Boxing Association super welterweight title from Miguel Cotto.

Mayweather won a unanimous decision at the MGM Grand Garden, taking the back-and-forth bout by scores of 117-111, 118-110 and 117-111. Yahoo! Sports had it 115-113 for Mayweather.

pound-for-pound king smiled as he congratulated Cotto and said, “You are a hell of a champion. You’re the toughest guy I ever fought.”

The win was the unbeaten Mayweather’s 43rd and is likely to intensify calls for a bout against Manny Pacquiao, the No. 2 pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

“When fights are on pay-per-view, you want to give the fans what they paid for and that’s excitement,” Mayweather said. “It comes with the territory when you fight a future Hall of Famer like Miguel Cotto. I had to fight hard, suck it up. He’s a tough competitor. I knew I’d have to come in the ring, fight hard and execute the game plan.

“Cotto is a future Hall of Famer. He’s no pushover, and he came to fight. He didn’t come just to survive, he came to fight. I dug down and fought him back.”

Before any more talk about a potential superfight against Pacquiao is mulled, Mayweather must serve 87 days beginning June 1 after pleading guilty to domestic violence charges resulting from a 2010 incident involving his girlfriend.

Some thought the impending jail sentence might be a distraction, but he was typically brilliant against Cotto. Mayweather, who was led to the ring by pop singer Justin Bieber, had a 179-105 edge in punches landed, according to CompuBox. More significantly, Mayweather landed the harder shots and seemed to have Cotto in trouble in several rounds.

In particular, Mayweather hurt Cotto in the 12th, wobbling him with a sharp left hand. Cotto kept trying to pressure and work the body, but Mayweather was very good defensively and blocked a lot of Cotto’s blows with his arms while they were on the inside.

Cotto, who was pummeled in bouts in 2008 by Antonio Margarito and in 2009 by Pacquiao, made it a competitive fight and brought the crowd to its feet several times by landing hard shots. The problem, though, was that Cotto rarely could land a strong combination.

That seemed to be where Cotto wanted the fight, but Mayweather did a terrific job of fighting his way off the ropes, using his fast hands and incredibly accurate punching.

Cotto landed 105 of 506 shots, most of which were thrown with bad intentions. Still, Mayweather showed his mettle by taking whatever Cotto had to give.

Mayweather now has to let his wounds heal – he was bleeding from the nose and face, beginning in the middle of the fight – before he packs up and goes off to jail.

“It comes with the territory,” Mayweather said of his upcoming jail term. “In life, there are obstacles, and I take the good with the good and the bad with the bad.”

The fight was mostly good, and when it ended Mayweather walked to Cotto and they embraced. Despite the scores, it was a pitched battle and Cotto exacted his pound of flesh. Cotto left the ring without speaking to reporters.

Now, the question will be whether he’ll be able to fight Pacquiao after he gets out of jail. Pacquiao arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday just as Mayweather and Cotto were beginning their fight. He’s going to prepare for a June 9 fight in the same building against Timothy Bradley.

Again, Mayweather said the fight the sport wants to see hinges on whether Pacquiao will agree to random drug and urine testing.

“I tried to make the Pacquiao fight and that didn’t work, so I fought Miguel Cotto instead and gave the fans a great fight,” Mayweather said. “I’m just trying to make that fight. I want to fight Pacquiao, but he needs to take the test and I’ll fight him. Miguel Cotto agreed to take the blood and urine test. Pacquiao can do the same.”

The country songstress hits the road for her new album, “Blown Away.” The singer said that even though she and her husband, hockey player Mike Fisher, aren’t always together, “He’s the only guy I’ve never had to worry about.” Still, expect the new album to have a trademark tune: The 29-year-old said, “It wouldn’t be a Carrie Underwood album without a revenge song.”

Kaley Cuoco gave the world a glimpse of her killer bikini body when she tweeted goofy pics from a getaway to Anguilla with some of her friends Wednesday.

The actress’ girls’ getaway comes on the heels of her early March split from fiance Josh “Lazie” Resnick. Since calling off her engagement, Cuoco seems to be making the most of her newly unattached status; on March 23, she cozied up to Pepper singer Bret Bollinger at a Lakers vs. Trailblazers basketball game.
