Just here to let you onow, my dear readers, that, probably next week, I will do something that has probably never been done before in the history of the internet’s worldwide columns. Just to keeo you in the mystery, I won;t tell you what it is. You just will need to come back to find out.

Meanwhile, I keep trying to obtain books on�celebrities so that we can discuss their lifes and controversies with my point of view on it all and your thoughts about it. But for now, I am planning to buy a Jay Leno book at the local Goodwill-yes I buy�there and without shame!-a book which promises to give us plenty to talk about.

You don’t know her but my must do woman of the week, and this is a mayuscule MUST cause she�makes me hard as a rock-is the Goodwill�cashier girl. Maybe tomorrow I will come up with another hottie.

For those of you who may have noticed, some of the articles posted here under my name have actually been written by�my�niece Isabel Santiago, 9. She wants to be a writer and I love her to death, so much so I�chose to stay with her watching tv�tonight instead of joining friends at the club.�My other pride and love is my other niece, 3 year old Nina Skrdla.

As many of you know, I, Antonio Santiago JR., self-appointed pseudo-celebrity at backseatcuddler.com, am also a boxing writer at ringsidereport.com. My favorite ringsidereport.com and backseatcuddler.com reader, Jay, actually sent me an email about this recently calling me gay, which actually made me very proud becuase Jay made me one of those people, like Lennox Lewis, David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Truman Capote, Madonna and Pope John Paul II, whose sexualities were at least once questioned by someone. So I feel famous

Recently, my editor at ringsidereport.com, Geno McGahee, a great man if there ever was one, sent us boxing writers a team letter recommending we ask for�review copies of boxing books which, if you can prove you are a writer online or on a magazine�and promise to write a review of the book,� you can get for free. So I started firing away and asking for all kinds of boxing books and have been successful so�far. Of course all that means is I will have much more work on my hands.

So a lightbulb went on�today inside my brain. My lightbulbs must be broken because that does not happen to me much and when it does, my ideas usually are as brilliant as those of Beavis and Butthead, or worse yet, former O.J. best friend Kato Kaelin or Nicole Ritchie. It ocurred to me that I can also ask for entertainment and fashion related books and review them here for you, my beloved�readers that I dedicate my life as a writer to.

I have asked for a couple of books, on Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. I plan to ask for books on Boy George, Lindsay Lohan, Jerry Springer, the aforementioned Madonna, Hanson, Zac Efron, Menudo, Nick Carter, Justin Timberlake, Nicole Ritchie, Jenna Jameson, Howard Stern, Vanessa Hudgens, The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cirus, Avril Lavigne, Carolina Herrera,�Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar De La Renta, Hugo Boss, F’Cuck, and just about every famous celebrity entertainer�and fashion designers or brands out there.

What you will get is my uncut, unashamed�opinion both on the book and the controversies or fashions surrounding the subjects, so far as you can enjoy them, with respect to the subjects shown where respect is merited. For example, I won’t make fun�of Brangelina’s international airport type of family.�It is cruel and dirty to make jokes of children and I find it rather admirable of the Pitt’s-or is it Jolie’s?-that they are willing to give someone from a third world country an opportunity to have better chances in life.

I�don’t want to close my column without giving a shout to the one real celebrity on my family, my father Antonio Sr. He just received his own biographical page at wikipedia.org, the sign that you have actually ARRIVED as a celebrity. Check it out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Santiago�����

My must do woman of the week: Have you�seen Kola Boof�lately? She attends her book readings naked!! Her point is women should not be ashamed of what they have and from my border-feminist mindset, I agree 100 percent and know what she means, it’s not�the body she is talking about, it’s the soul. But MY OH MY, those milk-producers she’s got look like Mount Kilimanjaro, and I am a tourist and want to visit those mountains if you get my�drift!!

Well amigas, I love you all. Love back to tj69662094@aol.com! Until next week my sisters and some brothers outthere as well, see you later!!��

This week, sad news cloud my column as the fashion world has been shocked to learn that former�Yves�Saint Laurent�model Katoucha Niane, 47, has been found dead. Her body was found in�the Seine River in Paris, Parisian police revealed.

Niane, better known simply as Katoucha,�was last seen Friday night after she left a party with a friend. She headed home, and was never seen alive again. Police say an accidental fall was likely the cause of her death.

A�Guinean,�Niane immigrated to Europe at age 17 to become one of the first African supermodels, which she did achieve. She posed for people like Irving Penn, and maintained her friendship with Saint Laurent long after retiring as a model in 1994.

Niane was circumcised when she was 9, an experience that scarred her for the rest of her life. She had been campaigning against the practice of circumcising girls in Africa for a very long time, and was a true believer in what she fought for. The incredible beauty on her Black face and her long, brown hair, which effectively made her look like a real life version of an� African Barbie, hid a heart of a feminist who never stopped believing in her causes. Our condolences go to her loved ones.���

Niane leaves three children behind. Rest in peace, Katousha Niane, 1960-2008.

In other news, you have to�check out my very good friend Luisana�Lopilato’s page. The Argentine superstar, who will not be touring with internationally archfamous pop rock group Erreway during their 2008 international tour, recently wore a blue one piece bathing suit that’s all the scream. I liked the way she looked in more ways than just one. After all, even if she is my close friend, I am nothing but a carnal, animalistic, sad�big dog looking for meat.�In other words, I am a man. �And not like Boy George, who once actually declared on “Karma Chameleon” that he was a “man without convictions”. Not that kind of man. I have convictions and one of them is that Luisana Lopilato looks fine as hell in her bathing suit. That’s why, my girl readers, you have to look it up on her page,http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=21690866, where you can see the bathing suit for yourself.

Today’s women I must do are twins, Tia and Tamara Mowry. Black, beautiful, sexy and TWINS! I love chocolate and if it’s double, better yet. You gotta endulge (or imagine you can)!

Drop me an email to tj69662094@aol.com, I would love to hear what you think about my column, my�appreciated and dear readers, of which I suspect a large portion are females. Writing for Backstreetcuddler.com is the bomb, I swear. I do believe I hold this position as the one thing Carrie from Sex and The City would envy from me!

Til next week, much love!

Well, amigas, it’s that time of the week again and I can’t wait to get this to you, assuming, of course, and being very vain in doing so, that you actually can;t wait for me to get this to you. As you can see, like all men, I think about sex 24/7, but unlike most men, I do think about other things as well.

Like fashion. Whether you are reading this just to laugh at my fashion sense or because you like it, I love fashion (as well as boxing) and try to be looking out for every opportunity I have to talk to you about fashion.

Tarararararararara……….which leads us to today’s event. From the American Airlines Arena�in�downtown Miami, Florida, we got the Lo Nuestro Awards to Latin American Music today. All the stars were there, even the ones that are not singers, and �they either shined or stormed with their outfits.

To start with, a friend of mine, Mexican diva Gloria Trevi, looked like a princess wearing a White evening gown and gold earrings. Trevi, who alongside Alejandra Guzman competes for the title of Latin America’s Madonna, has had trouble in the past, being part of Sergio Andrade‘s infamous clan and having lived in Argentina and Brazil with Andrade and other clan members before being jailed for more than two years in Mexico. After she was found innocent of charges, she retook her musical career and tonight she sparkled like the princess, beautiful woman and human being she is.

Jacqueline Bracamontes, for her part, looked splendid in a silver and cream dress, which highlighted her dreamy “back apple”, a temptation if there ever was one to men�after�Adam’s temptation�by Eve and The Devil. By the way, what’s up with women and The Devil always trying to tempt us poor, weak males?

Salsa�singer Giselle,�the�Latin American version�of Beyonce Knowles, wore a peach dress that really, really highlighted her natural skin color, making the Puerto Rican girl one of the night’s highlights by far. It may be that I am impartial towards Black women, but the girl looked delicious in that dress, as in delicious as a peach. (White women, don’t worry, I�am into women of every color, it’s just that I like Chocolate a lil’ better).

The one who did get noticed for the wrong reasons, as always, was Puerto Rican merengue�legend Olga Tanon. Tanon has had a long and fructiferous career and deserves the�adjectives legend and diva by far and away, and the fact she�works hard to provide a better life to her two children, one of which has a potentially deadly blood disease, makes her a hero in my eyes and she has my full support, and she is also a�personal friend of mine, but when it comes to fashion tastes, she’s always ranked high…in bad taste. Today, she wore a�navy blue…something, because I�can’t call it an�outfit really. It looked like she picked out the curtains from her room and put them on, and her look reminded me of the El Morro Castle in San Juan because that…thing, made her look antiquated. Olga, you are youthful, strong and the sweetest person one can imagine. But you must look what you are, not what women were in the 5th Century!

Ok, ok, today’s woman I must do in life….I will go with the aforementioned Giselle, very tempting and a good, young body, my best bet is I will never get close to her ’cause she’ll be like “Loser!”, but hey I can dream….it isn’t like you never dreamed�about Justin Timberlake or, if you are a bit older, Kirk Cameron or�David Cassidy, is it?

�On a sadder note, I would like to dedicate this week’s fashion column to my friend from childhood, Matty Couture, who passed away�two saturdays ago in a car crash. She was 21. Rest in peace, friend. You will be missed.

Well until next time, adieu mis amigas del alma, and take care. Keep buying good sense fashion clothes so your husbands’ minds keep as busy as mine! And remember,�girls, Antonio Santiago loves you!����

Well, the Super Bowl came and went, and I did not get to see Gisele Bundchen.�All the time she spent here was spent in deep secrecy and she didn’t even do sightseeing. Maybe she�spent all the time getting boned by�Tom Brady�and that’s why the Patriots lost Super Bowl 42 to the New York Giants, 17-14. Let me tell you, I guarantee you she’d had a better time in bed with me.

But I do have some fashion news for you my dear women. After all, it was Grammy night last night and Grammy night is, well, like�High School Football Friday nights, when some parents come in their best behavior and some animals�don’t. For the record, the only reason I don’t approve cold blooded�skin removal from�those who mentally abuse their children into becoming the best athletes or entertainers and then take it off on other people when their kids fail, is that I am a supporter of animal rights, so they have rights too. �

�So, Grammy night last night. What did we see? We saw Alicia Keys in a navy blue one piece dress with a matching scarf and gold earrings, plus a red purse. It was tastefully combined and looked great, her skin tone the perfect background to such an excellent combination. And the dress highlighted her derriere, bringing an image we the male�monkies of this world should treasure forever.

Joey Fatone, formerly of N’SYNC fame, seemed to have pulled it off with his elegant tuxedo. That is, until you looked at his feet. Poor Joey seems�like he was�playing basketball and forgot he had the Grammys ahead of him that night, because he wore some sneakers that reminded me of Larry Bird’s best days…as a forward for the Boston Celtics. Fatone’s sneakers are a no-no for the Grammys. Fatone’s date, Lisa Rinna, saved the day for them with a sleek, silver one piece that did falter a bit around her feet too, because it was a tad too long and made her look like she was stepping on it.

Jam and his wife, Lisa, dressed very elegantly, him with brown sunglasses, a suit, white shirt and a blue necktie. His boys were equally elegant. His wife looked like a Goddess with a precious lime dress which combined with her nice hairdo made a great impression. The only one that was a fashion victim out of Jam’s family was his daughter. I feel sorry for the child, because teens and pre-teens can be cruel and if they see what she wore, she’s on for a terrible time on Monday at school. Old time dresses with cufflinks are just so ’80s. As in the 1880′s. They made her wear something like that! Shame because she is very pretty.

Actress�Tia Carrere did not look a day over the original Wayne’s World release. Hey Garth, like, “Way, dude!”. I hadn’t seen her in a very long time and she looks good. I liked her Blue dress but it could have been better had she not put a Golden garment over her waist.

There were many, many more star sightnings and fashions to be talked about last night, my friends, but my purpose is to entertain you, not make you feel like you are reading the credits after a movie down to the key grip guy. So those are the ones who caught my eye.

Today’s celebrity I must do of the week, Alicia Keys. Her dress last night more than convinced me she and I would “match up” real well. Where are the drinks being served at? I want her happy and in the mood. Don’t we all guys? Who needs Gisele Bundchen when you have one Alicia Keys?

Until next week, my dear friends, I hope you once again have enjoyed my zany, wild and outspoken comments and dubious fashion sense, which I myself sometimes recognize it’s there, other times it’s gone down the toilet. But it’s all dedicated to you because you love me and I love you too, and like John and Paul said, all we need is love.

On that note, see you around! Let me know if you or a girl you know are up for a date!�

Tom Brady and his New England Patriots just beat Ladanian Tomlinson and the San Diego Chargers, 21-12, to secure a spot in the upcoming National Football League (NFL) Super Bowl. What does that mean to me? Not much, except, #1, I won’t get my buddy, Brandin from Wisconsin, to brag about how the Chargers won it all come this summer, and #2, that Brady and girlfriend Gisele Bundchen will, essentially, visit me.

The last time my state of Arizona hosted a Super Bowl, my�brother Jose,�my father and I discovered where the stars would�stay at and we met such stars�as Joe Namath,�Ronnie Lott and Chris Mortensen of ESPN in person. Well, ladies, we have already found out the NFL will use the same hotel as before and I am paying a visit to Mr. Brady and Ms. Bundchen, if more than anything else, to report to you on how Ms. Bundchen was dressed around town.

They are�not the only stars expected. Mary J.�Blige and Mexican rock/pop sensation RBD have also confirmed they will be around�town for the week heading into the big game.

There will be lots of parties, lots of star sightings, lots of fashion hits and misses, and I will be there, happy to report to you, my friends.

My must do woman of the week, Melanie Griffith.�Ms. Antonio�Banderas looks like her cherry’s sweeter than cherry pie and I am hungry!!!!!!!!!!

Please check ringsidereport.com this week, because an interview with yours truly will be published, that way you can have a chance to get to know this humble writer a bit more. I’ll be waiting for�you to show up!

And remember, you are the ones that make Backseatcuddler.com, not us. And we love you for being here with us all the way.��

Whoever has not heard of the Cartier fashion house by now probably lived in Mars for the last 20 years or has been buried deep beneath their quilts for many long, frigid winters. Cartier is to fashion what Mack is to trucks, Disney to cartoons and NASCAR to Southern hillbillies.� It’s a name everyone knows and a brand to be reckoned.

But let me ask you something. Do you know Daisy Fellowes, Carlos de Beistiegui or Sir Yadavindra Singh? Be honest now. It’s ok if you don’t know them.

�Exactly. I thought so. Neither do I. They, however, are among the elite crowd that Cartier historically catered for, and on their recent fashion launch party in London, England, Cartier released accessories that are similar to ones worn by them. And judging by the photos at my side, they had pretty darn good taste too.

Among Cartier’s accessory collection, there is a platinum corsage necklace that is adorned with emeralds, pearls, engraved rubies and diamond beads. It is long, and an example was worn by an elephant during the Jaipur Polo tournament of 2006. Now, as you all know I am a rabid boxing fan and understand as much about Polo as Polo’s most famous player, Prince Charles, probably understands about boxing,� but the sight of an elephant wearing a Cartier necklace over his head is something I’d paid for. For the poor thing, however, it must have been the heck of a headache.

I am sure the necklace will not be as much of a headache to you my female readers and it would not highlight your noses as much as it did that poor animal’s. In fact, you would look super glam with it and deliciously exquisite shall you wear it on a ball, a wedding reception or a gala, with a white or pink dress. For prices, call 1-800-Cartier.

While generally a feminine accessory, the piece is unisex, although I don’t expect many men outside India to use it. And I certainly don’t expect to see anyone at the street basketball courts I frequent wearing them either, because there they would be subject to the craziest stuff you have ever heard someone say to another one.

Cartier is also launching pieces inspired on their 1924 Tutti Frutti line, much of which was done inspired by Indian culture.

Another highlight item�on Cartier’s 34 piece collection, named the “Inde Mysterieuse�High Jewerly Collection”, is a platinum and diamond necklace complete with engraved emeralds; it is sold at select Cartier Boutiques in the United States. Two emerald diamonds hold this elegant piece together, while a third hangs on to it like a tennis shoe hanging on a phone pole cable, but much more graciously. This beautiful piece can go with any color you want to wear, as most Indian inspired items usually can.

Well before I leave I want to congratulate my friends Nicole Ritchie and Christina Aguilera on their babies. One thing, however, to those of you celebs who read this: please consider giving your children normal names. Somehow, I always thought that names like Apple, Winter or Suri are actually meant to bring a person’s self esteem down. Then again, Im planning to name my daughter Cherokee, so what do I know?

The celeb I want to do�of the week has to be Amanda Peterson, the fantastic looking �actress who was on Can’t Buy Me Love with Patrick Dempsey in 1987. She hasn’t done much after that but somehow I cannot imagine such a beautiful girl turning into a less than hot woman. I would happily move to Greeley, Colorado just to be with her, even if Greeley consists only of one street and a gas station.

Well, my amigas, it is time to say sayonara and see you next week. Until then, keep wearing your best!�

Colors. Life is filled with color, like a Kodak or Polaroid picture, and so will 2008′s fashion year, at least at the beginning. There will be colors to choose from, colors to wear, colors to tear and to choose to vomit from.�Whatever your personal reaction depends on you and solely on you, my dearly beloved�reader. �

Just like 2007 offered a ton of different boxing fights to choose from as your favorite “fight of the year” (check out my column at ringsidereport.com) 2008 will offer us a ton of different fashion statements to make. Just make sure yours isn’t as accurate as the�circus clown’s.

To begin this year, we have the cocrodile skin purse by Spiegel, combined with Hilary London’s diamond necklace and ninewest’s blue stilletos, should make for a royally beautiful night out. Compliment that look with a black dress, or a blue blouse with black pants. After all, if you wear all blue, you may end up looking like…err, the Blue�Men. We don’t want that.

Spiegel’s blue cocrodile skin purse is available at spiegel.com, for 79 dollars, while Hilary London’s necklace can be found at Hilarylondon.com for 139 dollars and the blue stilletos for 89 dollars at ninewest.com

Meanwhile, Pyramidcollection (pyramidcollection.com) brings us a pair of beautiful, purple Swarovski earrings with gold and silver amethyst symbol. �Very classy and for any occasion, be it an elegant gala or a rock concert. These earrings go for 39.95.

To compliment the earrings, Storm brings a purple watch with matching fantasy purse and diamonds included, to create a fashion storm if there ever was one. 160 dollars at stormwatches.com. Imagine wearing that with the purple mini purse offered by geticatalog! 20 unexpensive dollars at geticatalog.com

From Blue and Purple we go on to Fuschia and Red, as coldwatercreek brings us Fuschia colored stilletos,�wisely combined wth tiny diamonds all the way to the edges. If you use them with pyramidcollection’s Fuschia skin purse, you are ready to go out. But if you add Old Navy’s�red rock diamonds, you will be ready to go out to�an event�like the Cannes�Film Festival and match fashions with the top Hollywood stars and celebrities. The entire look is worth 65.50 for the stilletos at coldwatercreek.com, 79.95 for the bag at pyramidcollection.com and 9.50 for the necklace at oldnavy.com

Finally, lots of gold. Gold will come in different items you can find from Ninewest,�Max Azria (bcbg.com), serengeti and Forever 21.

I want to wish you a Happy 2008 and lots of gold yourself, as in for your bank account.

My must do femme fatale of the week is Lorena Herrera. The Mexican icon is as hot as chili and even more because she can make me sweat away in my room.

Gracias�for reading my column once more! Hasta el 2008, amigas!�
