Victor Cruz has a $400,000 advance deal for a memoir, a personal invitation from Anna Wintour to attend the Met Ball and turned down "Dancing With The Stars" -- but he says he is most looking forward to spending any extra money he earns after the New York Giants' Super Bowl win on a new house for his mom.

While refusing to comment on his expectations for a pay raise, $450,000-a-year Cruz said that the one thing he looks forward to buying is "my mother's house ... it's time that I buy her a house."

He has credited his mom, Blanca Cruz, a customer-service representative at Benjamin Moore who lives in Paterson, N.J., for pushing him to work for his dream.
