Want to know where Madonna got that gaudy pro wrestling -style title belt made for her HARD CANDY album cover? Well, www.wrestlingnewsdes.com has your answer! Legendary pro wrestling title belt maker Reggie Parks is featured this morning in a huge interview with the local paper in Arizona, talking about Madonna, WWE, UFC, and the process of making a really great title belt. Key excerpts: On the cover of her new album, "Hard Candy," Madonna sports the type of belt usually reserved for boxing or wrestling champions. It has a thick black leather strap and a gold-plated buckle with a large diamond-studded "M" in the center. Over the top of the "M" are the words "give it to me" and beneath it the nickname "M-Dolla." On the sides are diamond-studded dollar signs. The belt's not fit for a queen, but it's perfectly suited to the Queen of Pop, a champion of record sales and image makeovers. And it was made by the King of Belts — Tucson resident Reggie Parks. For 45 years, Parks has built championship belts for celebrity customers including Hulk Hogan, boxer Floyd Merryweather and the 2005 Chicago Bears defensive line. He is a pioneer in the industry, introducing new techniques and helping to make the championship belt a symbol of greatness. And he shows no signs of slowing down. Reggie Parks sits in front of his computer searching MSN.com to find footage from Madonna's new concert tour. The 73-year-old has been a fan of the Material Girl ever since she became his most famous client. Parks taps his foot as Madonna and Justin Timberlake perform their duet, "4 Minutes," at Madison Square Garden. "She's pretty good, eh?" he says. Madonna ordered two championship belts, the kind usually worn by large-bodied professional wrestlers and boxers, from Parks this spring. She wears a diamond-studded black leather belt on the cover of her new album, "Hard Candy." The second belt was sewn onto her skin-tight costume, to allow her extra mobility on stage. "And we might be making a third belt, for the wax Madonna at the Madame Tussauds museum," Parks says.
