Art Bell's Wife Dies Unexpectedly
Ramona Bell, the wife of syndicated radio legend Art Bell, died unexpectedly Thursday at age 47 while vacationing with her husband in Laughlin, Nev., according to an announcement by Coast to Coast AM, the program Bell founded and still occasionally hosts.
"At present, the exact cause of Mrs. Bell's death has not been determined," the announcement states. "It apparently took place during her sleep." An asthma sufferer for years, Ramona Bell reportedly experienced an attack before her death.
The Bells married in the early '90s after meeting as coworkers at radio station KWDN in Las Vegas. Art Bell broadcast his show from the couple's home in Pahrump, Nev., a remote desert town 50 miles from Las Vegas near Area 51, where Ramona booked guests and handled many other duties. The couple also own FM radio station KNYE, an eclectic oldies station they began in Pahrump four years ago.
Though Bell has not been an everyday radio host since 2002, he appears weekends on Coast to Coast, engages regularly in ham radio chats at call sign W60BB and is frequently seen on his studio webcam. The photo of the Bells ringing in the New Year was one of dozens contributed by fans to an Art Bell online forum since Ramona's death.
As befitting a host who became famous for covering paranormal subjects, Bell once claimed to have seen a UFO while driving with his wife, according to a July 13, 1998, Newsweek article:
Four years ago he and Ramona were driving around 2 am. on the lonely stretch of road leading to their house. "Coming up from behind us. oh my God, was a gigantic triangular craft," says Bell. "It had a strobing red light on the front and a white light on each back point. We watched it float across the valley for five minutes, before we lost sight of it."
Update: Art Bell remarried in April and announced plans to leave the U.S.
Comments
Last night on Coast to Coast George Noory announced that Art will be taking the weekend off due to a virus. I wonder who beleives that? He just doesn't want to talk about him moving to the Phillipines, or his child bride.
The court pre-trial depositions revealed that Brain Lepley (the alleged rapist of Bell's son) did not deceive Art Bell IV, as the oral sex act between the two was consensual and that Bell Jr. was of legal consenting age. Lepley was tried and convicted, but the case was subsequently reversed by the appellate court.

RE: human trafficking -- Much of the human trafficking in Southeast Asia centers around Thailand, where the sex trade accounts for between 2 to 14 percent of the GNP. However, Manila is still a hub for sex tourism and many girls are kidnapped there. They are shipped from southeast Asia (Indonesia, Thailand) to countries like Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan to Russia and then on through Ukraine to Western Europe.
Much better. Remember, there is yet a third page here if this one gets to long.

Who does this describe?
Where is Dr. Evil? He really livened up the joint!
I can't believe there are only 15 signatures at the site to get Art Bell off C2CAM. Are you people pressing the right button to save your sig after u sign it?
I don't want him petitioned off the air. I want to continue to enjoy this drama. Too much fun. I'm sure the young lady can watch out for herself
I think the drama is over. Eventually an announcement will be made that Art will not be broadcasting from the Philippines. Some technical/practical reason will be given. And, it will be bullshit. IMO
LUH HUH HUH OOSERS!
The Rense stuff is pretty sad. Ramona stood by him while all of this was going on. She put up with a bunch of grief from people who believed this stuff, and she probably stuck up for Art and son-Art. She stayed with him, despite people looking questioningly at her. She stayed with him, despite questions that she was probably asking in her own mind. How many tears did she shed at that time, standing up for her man? That has to be heartbreaking for a woman.
His repayment for her loyalty is to talk pityingly about how tough life is going to be for him after her death. There was nothing mentioned about Ramona's uniqueness during his self-serving broadcast. It was all about how he felt.
He repays all of her sleepness nights sawing logs in the next room of the RV while she died. It was too tough for HIM to stay up. He was tired, after all. He couldn't even drive her to a doctor or hospital. He owed her that, at the very least.
His response to her need has stripped the human skin back and exposed the cold, reptilian heart. It was always there. We are just now seeing it for what it is.
He now pees on her memory by lauding Airyn as the most beautiful woman he has ever seen and calls her his soulmate. The song he previously dedicated to Ramona is now dedicated to the child bride.
Now he hides behind, "Ramona must have wanted this for me. I told her to come and kick my ass if this was wrong." Pretty easy to say. Pretty easy to say that she was given the job of guardian angel. (Pretty arrogant, too. Like Ramona wants to spend the afterlife still washing your underwear and living vicariously through you, Art.)
Shame on you, Art. Ramona was worthy of so much more than you gave her.
I lifted this from another forum and posted here and on Coast 2 Coast:
www.fantasticforum.com
Could be BS could be be real?
Knew there was Oats and Gunderson, but didn't know there were actually two cases 20 years apart. Thanks for clearing that up.
ShadowCaster's post on fantastic forum. Interesting.
This isn't over yet.
Great post, Laurie.
I bet he was on video confrence when the pizza was delivered..What a jerk!
what an ungrateful putz....
Egads....please say it ain't for real!
Does anyone else think George sounded just a tad bit disdainful when he announced Art's "virus" excuse at the very beginning of the Fri's program?
I caught it too, Yeti...
he didn't elaborate like he usually does on how wonderful Art is....was...
Did I miss something? I thought Ramona died in the RV.
Did I miss something? I thought Ramona died in the RV She did but its a bigass city bus size RV not a 20 footer
Thanks
Arts webcam picture on the C2C website this weekend is his new bride, dated 4/22/06.

I noticed that, rather than say, "Art has a virus", he said, "Art says he has a virus".
Where is the webcam picture for this weekend? (link please) Is it the same old pictures of the child bride in the slutty T-shirt we saw before?
LMAO about Art farting and snoring in bed..LOLOL..Such a horrible metal picture.(and smell).Poor Ramona
Art Bell
For example, Art Bell, the radio show host, insists that Apollo astronauts landed on the moon, and he supports the Bush administration's story of the September 11 attack. Art Bell also supports discussions about all sorts of issues that I would describe as idiotic, such as ghosts and UFOs.
Does art Bell truly believe that astronauts walked on the moon? Does he truly believe that fires caused the World Trade Center towers and Building 7 to collapse? Does he truly believe that Martians are creating "crop circles"?
A few years ago there was a confusing conflict between Ted Gunderson and Art Bell, in which Art Bell felt that Ted Gunderson was accusing him of child molesting.
http://educate-yourself.org
Art Bell quit doing his radio show, supposedly because he was so upset by this. He later decided to return to the radio. Today he supports the Bush administration, the Apollo moon landings, and discussions about UFOs and ghosts. You can determine the truth from the lies simply by taking the opposite of whatever Art Bell tells you. Coincidence?
Or was Art Bell offered protection from the law in return for resuming his radio show and defending the perverts in our government
wow, i am shocked and appaled @ all of the attacks toward Art. All of you were so quick to console and parallel your lives with the radio master mind, but it is obvious you had no compassion. you only wanted to be someone in his life, now you rip at him like hungry phirannahs. none of you have any idea what he went through and the pain i have no doubt he still suffers. Not one of you are any beter than the crucifiers of christ. This man has done nothing other than try to take away his pain, and get on with his life. I hope all of you are taught to identify with Art by a similar loss. maybee then you will have some compassion. Heretics!
Sadd, you have some reading to do to catch up.
Hey Sadd, start reading over here www.cadenhead.org Many informative links in there. When you are done, get back to us.
I know nothing more now than i knew before with the exception of this.
It's funny that George Noory is talking about sending money to children in 3rd world nations... and Art is marrying them. The little ad banner for adopting poor children on the c2c website has a picture of a girl who looks almost exactly like Art's new child-bride
This although cruel is very funny and in humor everything goes. I still say you are all extremely judgemental and mean spirited. And hope that your Karma catches up to you! good day
Sorry Sadd....
That won't work. Bad karma is what Art and his friend are doing exploiting young women in foreign countries in desperate situations. If that rocks your world and you want to be one of the 3 monkeys , Hear, See, and speak no evil, keep your head in the sand, but don't tell the rest of us what we can or should not talk about. It would be a good idea for you to research the subject of women and children being exploited in other countries.
i absolutely never would tell you what you can or cannot talk about or feel or how to live your life in fact i encourage you to live as freely as you want. I am just sure that everyone else would like to live just as freely without ridicule.
Sadd, you encourage the exploitation of women and children from third world countries?
okay unless i am completely missing something, where is the proof of exploitation? Is it not just speculation. I feel as if i am missing something seriously, and maybee i need you to dish it up on a silver platter. I haven't seen any proof. Is she not in her 20s. I would think that if the man were doing something wrong he would not make it a point to tell 10 million listeners. I will admit I am shocked at the whole turnaround. I am sure it is to mask some pain, however I dont think he killed his wife and I dont subscribe to the con theory. If i am missing something please highlight it for me.
Please, guys, don't answer this idiot named Sadd.
If you don't think this is exploitation then I can't help you.
Thats what i thought. now i am an outcast because i dont subscribe to your beliefs. I gave you a chance to spell it out for me and for what ever reason you cant or wont so you just call me an idiot. Thats nice, way to prove my point.
Your moral base is not the same as mine be that as it may.
If you are right, at the very worst for Airyn she gets a beter life. at the very worst for Art, well then he will get whats justfully his. Later fellas i gotta crash. have a good night.
Justice is what I'm hoping for.
I hope you have a really good nightmare, you idiot Sadd.
Is it not possible for us to simply cease the controversy and speculation, and allow our second-favorite Coast-host to do as he pleases? Afterall, he loves Ramona.
"You just.. never know.."

visitor you can **** my **** in *** with your ***in ****es
He was, and always will be, a good man. Do not fret, dear coast audience, for I have seen what happens, and in fact this was all meant to be.. for both his and Ramona's sake. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a computer to recover. =]
I prefer George Noory, anyway.
George Noory is a good man, a good man!
i've already done the numbers, and art and his new wife were meant for each other! oh this is so wonderful!
This comment references the "help sponsor 300 poor children" ad by George. If it only takes a couple bucks per kid per month, why doesn't he simply foot the bill for all of em? I mean, he is a millionaire.

Stop talking tagalogg, you hypocrite!
i dont appreciate all of this badtalk about meh. if i faced you guys, you'd be done for.
-A.B.
I am considering closing this link, for it seems to draw those who are unwelcome elsewhere.
ive already started listening to tonights show (satellite) and george made a few comments about art! wait'll you hear it!
f
What did George say?
that guy is full of it. I listen on satellite too. It doesn't start for half an hour.
I don't expect George to rail on Art, but if he acts like this is a good thing, I'll never listen to him again, or at least take him seriously.
Visitor-Your satellite must be a time machine too!
I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU ALL SOMETHING:
I know smoking is VERY difficult to give up, but ...
Hypothetically, let's say that each and every one of us reading this page is a heavy smoker. Then let's say that each and every one of us is living with a mate who has severe, life-threatening asthma. Don't you think most of us would make every possible effort NOT to smoke around our mate? Smoking outside alone at a distance from the house, maybe, but nothing closer.
I couldn't believe Art said Ramona's asthma was not effected by cigarets. Wouldn't ANY doctor advise Ramona and Art to stop smoking immediately? This is just as baffling to me as any other of Art's odd doings.
What am I missing here? I'll ask the other page, too.
Smoking is real hard to quit. I guess neither one of them had the willpower.
Yikes!! I think its strange that he even has some kids that dont even belong to him on their from a space camp!
"How would YOUR husband, brother, father, uncle, son, handle the things you have said???? Put this close to home so you can really FEEL what you have done!"
OK, you asked that of us. Now let me ask this of you: If Ramona had been YOUR wife, sister, mother, aunt or daughter, how would YOU have handled it? If Airyn had been YOUR daughter or niece, how would YOU have felt?
Well, I sure hope that if my husband, brother, father, uncle or son loses his wife, he'll have the decency and self-control to WAIT. WAIT until his wife's memory is given the time and respect it deserves--and that he's asked others to give. WAIT for the desperation to lessen. WAIT to find whatever physical comfort he can. WAIT to grab the first willing body that happens along for fear it's his last chance. WAIT to announce that this willing body, this port in a storm is the "most beautiful woman" he's EVER seen. WAIT to consider the feelings of loved ones (and the insulted intelligence and loyalty of the viewing audience). WAIT to consider the short and long-term consequences. WAIT until it at least APPEARS that he's waited.
Perhaps our assumption that Art Bell should know better is wrong. It makes us question everything else about Art.
George Noory says that Art will be on the air with him the week of April 24th to make an announcement about the move to the Phillipines and the set up for the broadcasts from Manila. Only the second time both men will be on air together, the last being Hurricane Katrina's arrival on shore. George says it will be at least 2 weeks for the show to be ready to go in Manila. Might I suggest some bumper music for this historic tete a tete? "Don't Stand So Close To Me" by the Police.
i had the weirdest dream about ramona, art's dead wife, she was with a Gray in a triangle shape ufo and the lights were red and flashing. she was in the control window with a zelta-gni in her hand, and the zelta-gni was talking, not her. but it was her voice and she kept asking "Art? Art?" like that.
Wow guys. we are some serious ghost hunters.
I love all the sharp insight opinions given by everyone except two.
Let's face it, nothing will happened to Art-the-young panty-grabbing bell. Art is heading to another country that pushes little girls on old men. he will cheat on his wife with a younger girl. And George will continue boring us to death until we all drop the radio station.
sorry for the errors in my post folks... I can't go back an edit it.
I think it is tacky to use ur show to sell stuff..KNOWING people will buy it just because ART BELL owned it..He could sell a terd and someone would pay $3000 for it jmore less a plasma TV..Cant he use TVs in Manilla? I think he is a wack JOb and needs to lower his pain med dose..I think he isnt thinking straight.
I think I get it; Marry someone in Pampers so you can DEPEND on having someone to change your Depends! For gosh sakes; now that is having something in COMMON!
Hey everyone needs to give Art a break, he is a windower for goodness sake...we also need to give the Menendez brothers a break, they are orphans after all...
This is kind of weird. I wonder if this is the reason he is not on the air. Looks like he has some sort of skin contusions.

PS
we need a chatroom where we all can get together and chat about this...
CSI Pahrump-I met a woman about 4 years ago who lost her marriage over the Y2K scam. She bought everything Bell was hawking from the freeze dried food rations to the freeplay radios. She spent a fortune on it, but just in case that wasn't enough stress on her marriage, she bought 900 lbs of perishable food right before New Years and had a local store store in their cooler to be picked up on Jan 1. Her husband left her after that. She was a nice woman, but her husband thought she was nuts and left her after that. They'd had a long marriage before that. Art Bell hurts people with his scams. His saying he always tells the truth on the air. Oh please! I can't believe this guy is going to go on like nothing happened. It just makes me sick to my stomach.
Jam Bo Ree, You are absolutely right. Art does look like he's got some kind of skin condition. Remember thos people who sued some resort hotel because they got bit by bedbugs? They looked just like Art. I hope he is miserable in the Philipines. Can you imagine going from a dry desert climate like Nevada to a humid, sweltering sweatbox? Someone who isn't used to that kind of weather could come down with all kinds of shit. I know he lived in Okinawa at one time, but that was when he was still a young man. Old people can't tolerate climate changes like that. He'd better watch that he doesn't get terminal heat rash of the pecker.

my feelings exactly. I thought it was pretty weird when he came back a few weeks after her death. When my brother died, I couldn't even put one foot in front of the other the first month. I could barely see straight or stand up. I felt like I was in the middle of the ocean in a furious storm and whenever I got a breath another wave of pain would take me under. If my husband died, I couldn't imagine it not being even worse. But what a downer, I am! I guess I must not be a "risk taker" like Art. I guess, if my husband dies I should leave the morgue and head straight for the chat rooms to find myself a new hubby, so I'm not a weird person who doesn't get that life is short. I guess if that happened, I should be a selfish pig and jump straight into bed with someone I met in the hospital nursery. Since I'm only 39, I'd have to go straight to the incubators to find a mate young enough to be as good as Art Bell. God, this whole thing is so sickening....
PS
we need a chatroom where we all can get together and chat about this...
Why? Don't we have anything at all better to do with our time and our lives?
I have nothing better to do because its 330am and i am in my bed on my laptop.....
I hope everyone pays attention to this:
Art Bell knew he was going to marry Airyn just three weeks after her death. This is not just my opinion, this is factual based on the dates of his own announcements.
Please note the date on the first post in this thread from Fantastic Forum I will post the address to below. It is the night Art Bell first came out with a partial announcement (the mystery announcement) which was actually more of a request on his part, the thread was created as the show was taking place on January 29th 2006 by FF's moderator "Cpt Spike Mike",
Read it here for yourself:
www.fantasticforum.com
That date was when Art Bell would have already known that he was going to get married to Airyn. And this is the important thing: That was ONLY THREE WEEKS and like 2 days from the day of Ramona's death, not 2 or 3 months like many of you have said--you are talking about the wedding ceremony itself which is true, but he knew he was going to marry her that night as indicated by his first announcement or request of his listeners. "Ask me in a year". But it looks like he just couldn't to show off his new trophy wife so on his show on 4-16-2006 is when he blabbed about it. I even recall him saying "maybe I shouldn't tell you about this now, but..."
Are we supposed to believe that Art Bell decided to marry Airyn after just 3 weeks of online communications while he grieved both privately and then also on the air--all while he milked his audience for sympathy with "I'm so lonely" (poor me).
A couple of things to mention:
The above link I gave was originally a "sticky", now Art Bell himself recently posted on 04-24-2006
(read here)
www.fantasticforum.com
...and now Fantastic Forum has removed the original "sticky" with the new one from Art Bell. If I didn't know any better I would think Art is busy trying to cover his tracks. I hope the original thread doesn't disappear, but the only way I could find it was because I copied the address from the internet explorer window.
Also the wikipedia entry for Art Bell is wrong about the date, it fails to mention the first moment when Art decided to marry Airyn: January 29th, just 3 short weeks after her death:
In honor of Ramona
media.putfile.com
Art, indeed, is the luckiest-man-in-the-world. In the span of less than one lifetime, he has met and married two soulmates, two loves-of-my-life, and the two most beautiful women in the world.
This is more than most people do in a hundred lifetimes.
He also has his own personal pig and possibly piglets in the future ... thus, he will never be wanting for food, if he likes ham well enough.
No wonder you people are so upset and wish Art to fall from grace or be guilty of some terrible crime(s).
Jealousy is a bad, bad, thing.
Is it me, or I just can't take C2C seriously anymore?
Wow, does that young lady look alot like Ramona....but...I thought the days of young girls having to marry old men to help their families were long gone....
Feudalism is alive and well....
ick

we must have the same mother inlaw. Mine went off on vacation a thousand miles away and I literally felt like a 1000 lb bag of sand was lifted off my shoulders, till her plane touched down again. I can feel her sucking the life out of me again as I type.
Art's sickness worsens. It looks like his teeth are slightly discolored now, and he has the same liver-spotty blemishes on his face.
photos1.blogger.com
What happened to his teeth? His mustache is gone because they're hard to dye.
My mother-in-law is a whiner, complainer, has to take her heart medicine in front of people and announce, "It's time for me to take my medicine", complains she's out of breath and that she needs a walker, ran up credit card bills going to the casinos, and always wants people to feel sorry for her. And that she's always poor but she don't need much and blah, blah....ugh, I just wrote her off, and avoid the in-laws now....who cares what they think...haha...I'm free
What happened to his teeth? His mustache is gone because they're hard to dye.
_____
Looks like one of his front teeth are missing, too. Even a gray mustache would look better though than what he looks like now....
She fell in love with him, ho, yeah, right....
Did the network hire, George btw, or did Art? I like Noory better....very classy, polite man....never loses his cool...such the opposite of me...maybe that's why I like him. I find him tranquil and his personality soothing.
That tom Cruise imitation on that video had me rolling...lol!
George sounds like he has to much spit in his mouth. He should swallow more often.
wanna take a ride? No no no.....please no!
Midnight in th desert digging big old hole...
art should take a ride...right over to his dentist to get that scum tooth looked at.
I feel like they are all in a tough spot, but you have to choose right from wrong and you can't support something this sick and twisted. Yeah, just look at Arts picture and tell me that young beautiful girl wants to spend the next 30 years with him.
_______
I haven't listened to C2C since this whole thing, but it's wrong I throw the baby out with the bathwater. Looks like George is keeping quiet, so he's probably stunned, too. I don;t think Art will last in the Phillipines. I've been to the tropics and unless you're used to the climate, you develop rashes and the humidity is draining and at Art's age it will be too much to take. And some condo in Manilla is probably filthy with pollution, and the 2 cats he plans to take will go nuts....And I had just read an article on the BBC site about these young women have to sell themselves to foreigners on the net...how ironic this happens
Those aren't the same teeth that are in the wedding photos.
What is that peice of paper they are reading from in the photos.....vows?
geez...
Did you see Ghost-Wolf's aliases? Not the person Art said he was.
Are those his killin' teeth?
Why does Art have to insist on moving to the phillipines when everyone knows that those women have the intent of moving here for a better life? He is doing that to force a point and a lie that she actually wants him for him....I wouldn't beleive that bullshit under any circumstances
You migrate from one board to another. Sick. I see you all still suffer from lack of "Judge NOT...."
We are having a civil and open discussion about Arts Marriage and move to the PI...How does that make us child molesters.That is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard..We are not molesters but I am SURE you are a child.
This moron doesn't want anyone talking about Art Bell at all. He went by a name of Fedup on the other board. I'm beginning to wonder if he is Art Bell, or just another loon is a control freak---like Art Bell...
No surprise there...

Strange loud booms
The friend-in-law is now posting on FF, here is some of what he has to say:
"I would also like to address the security issue, Art is in a very safe place and unless you want to get shot, I wouldn't recommend trying to visit him in Manila. He will be well guarded."
I prefer to not betray his trust and friendship by relaying any of his private life and personal business. Like I have stated before, he is a friend and I do everything I can to respect his privacy. "
www.fantasticforum.com
The whole thought that anyone is going to go after Art in the Phillipines that isn't related to the girl is hilarious. Only Art or Ed Dames is that paranoid, so that would be my guess as to who posted it. Or some syncophant from hell. There seem to be a few of those who are gushing over his nuptials to a child-bride. What a bunch of ticks. Well at least since he doesn't have his desert compound, he can now hire himself mercenaries to support his delusions. At least someone will make money off his without having to put out.
The new bro-in-law is the one posting now on FF (see above). He just became a member.
Well said.
Yeah, just look at Arts picture and tell me that young beautiful girl wants to spend the next 30 years with him.
Art doesn't have 30 years left, and she will get the money.
She be very smart girl, I theenk, very long time.
Fly on the Wall, You never know. I assume my mother inlaw is such a Bee-itch that she is immortal. People who suck the life out of those around them can live a long time. Hopefully, Ramona is still practicing witchcraft and revenge from the afterlife and is about to bring home to momma! I will cheer if that chick gets all his dough and she survives mentally having to have sex with him.
YETI, are you there? You seem to know what's going on. Why was the "Art Bell Remarries" Workbench site closed for comments and where have you all gone?
TAM | 2006-04-25 11:31 PM | link
Because of too many comments. All you neanderthals who are still using 56K modems were complaining about impossible download times.
Rogers has no desire to be a censor on these forums.
George Noory declared another alien plot, and we have all been abducted by extraterrestrials. Personally, I don't think we need extra terrestrials ... one is enough.
The new bro-in-law is the one posting now on FF

well that tells you what they think of women over there. Art isn't just buying her but the whole family. The girl is just like having a good milk cow.
People who suck the life out of those around them can live a long time.
In this case, I don't think Art is doing the sucking.
Besides, we all know there are ways to speed up the process ... now, where's my inhaler.

Yeti, you bad, bad cat ;-), how can you read that Pathetic, I mean Fantastic Forum? Those people there sound really brainwashed.
Wasn't it great to hear Art on C2C tonight?
big fan-did it give you a woody?
No, but I seem to be developing a rash!
Hopefully, it is something penicillin can still help you with.
Art ... where's my inhaler?
They are all are Art Bell ass kissers on Fantastic Forum! The people on that forum are so gay! It is hard to believe that moron ass-kissers like that actually exist. And their leader, their top nerd, Art Bell ass kisser supreme, none-other-than a guy that goes by the self-determined name of "Captain Spike Mike" because of how they role play with the forum's little crappy pirate ship concept.
And Captain Spike Mike, if by any chance you happen to read this, you are not as ugly as Art Bell, but you are as ugly as a frog that looks like Art Bell, and for that we give you the plank!
(insert faggy shark picture here)
But here's the good news, even after Art Bell himself posted that script he calls an explanation, only 25 FF Losers as of yet have posted to reassure or worship him (I'm not sure which!)
Opps, I'm sorry, I left it in Pahrump. Here, have another cigarette!
Fantastic Forum Sucks--I hate the express "so gay" but you are right about them being ass kissing idiots. My favorite is where good ole Carl comes on board the starship pervert and everyone kiss his ass as well. It's like an episode of Roseanne only more white trash.
"I hate the express "so gay""
Yeah I do too, when it is an expression, but in this case I really meant it.
If they were gay, they wouldn't give Art the time of day. Gay people don't do double wides. They are more sniveling cult members. Michael Jackson and Charlie Manson have them, so you have to expect anyone with fame will have someone so enamored they give up their will.
I expect most of them look just like his partner in crime, I mean marriage...
Hey, guys, why don't you just drop that "gay" issue, please!
I second that motion. Being gay has nothing to do with this and it is just a way for someone to use throw their bigotry into the pot. This is about a heterosexual old geezer who is preying on a young woman and the syncophants who are kissing his ass are obviously not pushing the imaginary gay agenda. Psst...Art is not courting young boys, so the gay issue is a problem of your own...
There is no such thing as a gay issue. Being gay is simply a sexual preference and should have no "special" privileges attached thereto.
I should know, I am married to a gay man.
LOL ... I don't see anyone on those sites who hasn't passed 30 quite a few years ago.

My apologies. I didn't mean there was a gay issue, I meant this guy had a issue with gays. I'm too tired though to get into a word play thing though, so if you are going to get riled at people defending you against the troll, I just don't have the energy to apologize again.
Well, I didn't really see anything that needed to be apologized for in the first place.
Art is Jewish, you are all guilty of anti-Semitism!
Art is not Jewish.
The artistic impulse was born long before Jews ever came into existence.
Art is ubiquitous and culturally diverse.
Wait! I remember the night Art was on the air for the first time after Ramona died. I hope someone else here will remember this too.
Anyways. He was rambling on and on about how she died and he'd regress into these musings about how much he misses her and how she was his soulmate and he said something that even then I thought was very odd and very, very off...
He said how she's his soulmate no matter WHO HE IS WITH IN THE FUTURE!
PLEASE someone back me up on this. It was so freaking weird to hear him say that. I mean who says that in the middle of grief and loss???
Such an inappropriate thing to say and in light of recent shocking events it's creeping me out and quite a bit.
The past is the past.
We need to move on and help make this new adventure a real success in Art's life!!!
Art will be on c2c tonight. Early in the show.
Yes,Listener, I heard him say that. I got the impression he already had someone lined up.
Yeah lets not get into a argument on the Gay issue. Some gay guys give the rest a bad rap because they do wrong things like Art by courting YOUNG boys (a girl in Arts case)most of us are upstanding members of society and you could not even tell we were Gay unless we told you. ANWAYS..On with the show..Art bell is a dirty perv ..lol
Did anyone notice on the C2C website that Art's webcam no longer has a link on the front page? Wonder if Clear Channel made them take some stuff off the website.
Just looked at "fantasticforum.com." PUKE.
If you're not already diabetic, avoid that site.
Oooppss. Noory has the Children International link back up on the C2C website. Seems like with everything going on with Art marrying a child-looking bride from a third world country that they shouldn't have that on there. Wonder if Children International know what's happening?
I heard that they are discussing doing a movie about this whole fiasco. The Olsen Twins have been picked to play Ariyn and Sharon. And Andy Rooney will be playing Art Bell.
hoodia luv--yeah, I am disgusted that they haven't taken down CI's link. I hope no children get hurt or a good organization in the process of C2C ardent support of a child molestor.
Right on, Visitor, about keeping your ears open to children & spouses with congestion from colds or asthma. (Same goes for sleep apnea, which can kill in seconds.) Basically, if you love someone who has a breathing problem, you make damn sure you can always hear them at night.

Unless you have proof that Airyn is under 18, you have no case. CSI ... that's a laugh ... no way in hell you would qualify.
By the way, there's a rumor going around that you DO animals. Is that true?
If you can't disprove it, then YOU are guilty!
Get out of your bed, get off the laptop ... get a life.
Same goes for sleep apnea, which can kill in seconds.
LOL ... sleep apnea can't kill you in seconds, moron.
I can hold my breath for 3 minutes and I'm not dead yet.
God, you people are S-T-U-P-I-D !!!!!
Let me inform you of something ... the proper use of the brain is TO THINK !
Some of you people should try it sometime !!!
When the truth comes out, and it is proven that Art had absolutely no negative hand in Ramona's tragic death ... many of you will be very ashamed of yourselves.
Nah, actually not, I expect that most of you here have no capacity for REAL human emotion, thought, or logic (that's already been proven) ... you simply parrot the garbage that you watch on TV all day, all night, all afternoon.
S-T-U-P-I-D !
Oh well, it's you again, big fan? Why don't you go away and preach somewhere else....you just bore me to death!
Right. I bore you so much that you have to respond.
LOL, like I've said before ...
S-T-U-P-I-D !!!!!
Holding your breath voluntarily and not breathing due to sleep apnea are two completely different things.
By the way, we're all very proud that you've learned how to spell your own name so well, in capital letters, with a hyphen between each letter and all those exclamation points. Good for you!

Yes, sleep apnea kills. My brother died 2 years ago of sleep apnea. He was in perfect heath. He worked 2 jobs though and he must have fallen into a deep sleep and couldn't wake himself up. So, before you pronounce your fucking idiotic medical opinions, make sure you know what you are talking about.
Someone could die listening to an idiot like you. Had my brother not taken a nap without a pillow or he had had someone there to wake him up when he stopped breathing, he'd be alive today. If you have sleep apnea, go to your doctor and find out what you can do to ensure your safety. If it is bad enough, they can give you a device that wakes you up if you stop breathing. If you notice a loved one stops breathing, gasps, etc. in their sleep, have them see their doctor.
P.S. I highly doubt you can hold your breath for 3 minutes, but you can lose conciousness in much less times, so the person who wrote seconds is correct. I'm sure he didn't mean 3 seconds, but you are so high on your cult love for a pervert that you are making stuff up now.
My comments relate to the fact that you said sleep apnea can kill you in "seconds."
It can't. You are still stupid.
I know all about sleep apnea ... several members of my family have it.
Now go back to trying to convict Art Bell of being a child molester and pervert when it has been proven in Phillipine registry documents that she is at minimum, 18.
big fan you are the stupist person on the board.
learn too have a good educTion before messing with us.
we are all ok and you are
s-t-u-p-e-d

LOL. Oh, my God, unf*ckingbelievable !!!
Thank you for proving my case.
And I do apologize for calling many of you stupid ... obviously, it should have been s-t-u-p-e-d.
LOL
I leave now, forever.
I can't take it any more ... I am laughing myself to death.
Goodbye losers ... or do I mean loosers ... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Good riddance, freakazoid!
I'm glad he's gone. He was messing up our pARTy.

You are fucking wrong. It can. I aspirated on a cold pop in college and my esophogus spasmed and cut off my breathing. I felt a pain in my chest and had enough time to say "ouch" and the that is the last thing I remember. So, I lost conciousness almost immediately after my breathing was blocked. When you are sleeping, you are already in a semi-concious state. It can take less then a minute for a person to be past the point of where they can wake themselves up and save themselves. You don't know what you are talking about idiot.
Also, every heard of someone who has died from a bee sting or peanut allergy. They can stop breathing and lose conciousness immediately. You are just a fucking idiot who thinks he knows what he is talking about, but doesn't.
big fan-also, I hope for their sake they only have a mild case of sleep apnea. My brother didn't. Not everyone dies of sleep apnea. It has varying degrees. I'm so glad your relatives are lucky enough to be able to live with it, but to those of us who have lost someone we love to it, don't act like you know something that you don't. Because if you knew anything about sleep apnea, you would know it can kill you quickly/
Sleep apnea kills at night, study says
By Reuters | March 24, 2005
Patients with sleep apnea are more likely to die from heart attacks at night, while sleeping, than in the day, which is the time when everyone else is most vulnerable, US researchers reported yesterday.
Most heart attacks take place between dawn and noon in the United States but sleep apnea -- marked by a tendency to snore, stop breathing and then startle awake -- changes this pattern, the researchers found.
What is still not clear is how much sleep apnea raises the risk of premature death overall, the researchers wrote in this week's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
''Our study cannot address the question of whether obstructive sleep apnea increases the overall risk of sudden death from cardiac causes," Dr. Virend Somers of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minn., and colleagues wrote.
As many as one in four Americans suffers from some degree of apnea, where the throat repeatedly closes during sleep, causing breathing to stop for 10 to 30 seconds and oxygen levels to fall dramatically.
The condition, more common in men and the obese, causes stress on the heart and makes people tired during the day.
The study of 112 Minnesota residents with sleep apnea who died suddenly from cardiac causes found they were far more likely to die between midnight and 6 a.m.
Myth: Snoring is an annoying problem, but it isn't harmful to your health.
That's what Ann Pickett used to think, until she lost her husband, Curtis, 67. He died of complications from sleep apnea, a condition in which sufferers stop breathing numerous times during the night, sometimes for as long as two minutes. Snoring is the most common symptom of sleep apnea.
"Every time you stop breathing, it reduces blood-oxygen levels and strains your cardiovascular system," says Philadelphia sleep specialist Rochelle Goldberg, M.D., president of the American Sleep Apnea Association. "Not getting oxygen can trigger an arrhythmia [dangerous irregular heartbeat], particularly in people who already have heart problems."
When you can't breathe, your body tends to emit stress hormones such as adrenaline, a potent constrictor of blood vessels. That means sleep apnea also kills by raising blood pressure and increasing stroke and heart attack risk.
"Curtis snored frequently and was a restless sleeper, but we'd never heard of sleep apnea," says Ann, 59, a secretary in Dallas, Georgia. "By the time it was diagnosed, his case was so far advanced that it had brought on serious heart and lung problems." Though only somewhat overweight, Curtis developed very high blood pressure and congestive heart failure, which contributed to his death in 2002.
Since Curtis was the one with health problems, it was a bit of a shock when he one day said to Ann, "You don't seem to be sleeping much better than I used to. Maybe you should get checked for sleep apnea."
Diagnosing apnea often requires a night in a sleep lab, hooked up to instruments that measure airflow, breathing efforts, heartbeat, sleep patterns and oxygen levels in blood.
To humor her husband, Ann spent the night at the Wellstar Sleep Disorder Center at Wendy Hill in Atlanta, where she, too, was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Doctors prescribed CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), considered the most effective treatment for apnea. The patient wears a mask over the nose, which is attached to a tabletop blower that delivers pressurized air to the nose or mouth, keeping airways open.
"My husband probably saved my life," says Ann. "My blood pressure had been alarmingly erratic. When I started sleeping with the CPAP unit, it went down and stayed down. The apnea was caught before it weakened my heart. I probably added twenty years to my life."
Sleep apnea can kill in seconds. It can give you a stroke, a heartattack or you can stop breathing long enough that your organs begin to shut down.
What happened to my posts? Some of the ones I read yesterday were from an imposter.
Never mind. I found them.
Last night on Coast to Coast George Noory had Richard C. Hoaxland on the celebrate his birthday. Art Bell made a surprise appearance, didn't talk anything about his marriage. Whitley Strieber was also on> Neither Noory. Strieber, or Hoaxland gave Bell their congradulations on marrying his mail order child bride. Their silence was deafening.
Well, good for that at least. I'm still so disgusted, I haven't been able to listen to George or Whitley's show at this point, but I feel sorry for them for being put in such a hideous position by Art. I'm a little concerned with the letters Whitley has sent to people discussed on other thread, but I understand if you have been friends this long with someone, this has to be a nightmare for him. If I find out however, that any of them think this really is a great thing, then they have lost all credibility with me.
Big Fan - If you don't like our discussion on this board - get off. Go type your love notes to Art Bell on HIS message board. Thanks.
Big Fan - I forgot to ask you. "Hi, Art. How's the little woman?"
p.s. Have a safe trip. They usally say "don't drink the water." But for you, drink it. Got my eye on that Trans Am of yours. How many miles on her? Anyone die in it lately?
Jack Bauer... The JACK BAUER... LOLLLLL love your show.
Now kill off your girlfriend, I cannot take her. PLEASE for goodness sake do an ART BELL on her and then call her your soul mate.
Big Fan writes "you simply parrot the garbage that you watch on TV all day, all night, all afternoon."
WE DO NOT!!!!
Now my final thought on this is, Coming up next... American Idol, right after local headlines.
PS
if Art's on tonight... I hope Art give us the usually warning when he is about to air something spooky.
This warning will be for every young girl who wants a better life...
Dirty OLD BELL alert: turn off your radio. Moms and dads, please lock away your kids.
PS PS I'm not saying he killed his wife. I'm saying he NOT sorry she's gone.
Art Bell is hurrying to the KNYE radio station... 100 mph in his Trans AM... Hits a 10 pound lizard crossing the highway... What kind of sound does it make?
"Pahrump Pahrump"
Thanks kids I'll be here all week. Please tip your waitresses. What a country!
Great to see all the supporting data on sleep apnea. It's a well-informed group we have here!
BUT, of course, Big Fan claims that just about everyone in his family has sleep apnea, so what the hell do I know??? Why, he held his breath for THREE WHOLE MINUTES--clearly causing himself SEVERE brain damage in the process--just to prove me wrong.
Kind of pitiful, isn't it....
Bell's Hell, I think we should encourage him to take up free diving he's so good at holding his breath. Well, I guess the oxygen deprivation explains his not seeing anything wrong with a liverspotted old lech losing his wife, falling in love instantaneously afterwards and marrying a childbride. It's finally making sense now...his supporters suffer from oxygen deprivation to the brain.
Totally sweet...

Yes...free diving! He should free dive into a hot Jacuzzi with his mouth wide open! Snap his esophagus shut and turn him into a true believer.
Neither Noory. Strieber, or Hoaxland gave Bell their congradulations on marrying his mail order child bride. Their silence was deafening.
What show were you listening to?
Art and George had quite an extensive conversation about it before the others came on.
This warning will be for every young girl who wants a better life...

Warning? They should all hope they are so lucky as to find their own Art Bell.

Uh oh...Looks like Art is getting way sick with some sort of face cancer, and I think his new bro has it too. Maybe they need new wife transplants!!
Uh oh...looks like the KFC was all out of gizzards and beaks tonight...someone is a little ornery!!!

And, of course, he's 100% correct about all the human trash that are posting those things about him in this forum.
Anyone know where to get hen's teeth?
Some lame-o couldn't think of his own name, so he used mine. What a douche.
He put a sign in his yard Sunday
saying he'll pay $1,000 for a virgin bride between the ages of 12
and 24.

Signing as?
Shocked & Dismayed-the word is narcissist. It's all about Art. Art, Art,Art. Not his wifes memory, not his son, not his cats, not the welfare of a young desperate woman, not his friends who are making excuses for inexcusable behavior, not the fans so attached to him that they are going against their own values to keep in his good graces. It's all about Art getting his needs met and his only. If everyone else gets hurt and he is happy that is all that matters to Art.
A couple of women in our family have died unnecessarily. If they were taken to the hospital in time, they would not have died. They were not murdered. Their husbands just never considered anyone but themselves. Is this depraved indifference? The rest of the family thought so.
People who lose a spouse walk around in a daze. Not Art. A few days after the love of his life dies he's emailing another woman and later vidoeconferencing her. Give me a break. This guy isn't human.
Q: "Signing as?
visitor | 2006-04-26 10:15 PM |"
A: Not signing as, but sounding like a Cro-Magnon.... :-)
hey! take that picture of Art and me off this site, Jam bo ree. You're hurting my wife's feelings.
Right. Too many details. His son must be about 25 by now. No mention. Also, I could never leave my animals. It doesn't make sense.
He has an amazing ability to cut off relationships like a light switch. He tells his listeners year after year his love and devotion to his cats and then Ramona dies and he not only has an instabride and so over her, he's not into his cats so much anymore. I guess we should be lucky he didn't think to bury his cats alive in a tomb with his wife in some C2C Egyptian reenactment.
I agree with the comments about narcissism. Shocked and dismayed is right - when someone dies, there is a eulogy about THEM, what made them special, some of their nice traits, humourous stories about them. Art talked on and on about how lonely he was going to be.
The same thing happened with Airyn. All we found out about her was that she was young and beautiful ("Look at the picture! Look at the picture!). He said that she was a nice girl. He said she was a college grad who was going to teach, but that he has "retired" her from that. Most of the time, he talked about himself and about how he thought she was his soulmate. He says that she loves him and that she is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen.
After all that he put Ramona through with the lawsuit and the troubles his son had, he couldn't be bothered finding out that her brother died of asthma. He was tired, so he went to bed. Well, so what if he was tired? Suck it up and help her. Take her to a doctor or a hospital.
It seems that only Art is important in Art's world. That is a sign of narcissism. His comments about how anyone he got involved with would have to recognize that Ramona was his soulmate were quickly swept away as, guess what, Airyn is the soulmate now.
Some narcissists find it easy to replace one person with another because that other person is only important for how they reflect him - as a source of narcissistic supply. When all a person has been is a function, it is relatively easy to replace them, because they weren't valued as real people.
According to Sam Vaknin who writes about narcissism in Malignant Self Love, a narcissist does not want to be bothered with the problems, emotions or needs of another person.
All children are narcissistic - most of them grow out of it. They often come across as intelligent, charismatic and fun. They believe that they can charm anyone and, initially, they often do.
Global advanced trait descriptions of the pathology include: religious, mystical, artistic, anti-authority,work ethic, adventurousness, dependence, need to dominate, sexuality, physical security, extraverted, conflict seeking, etc. etc. etc.
Does any of this sound familiar?
I dated a narcissist back in the days when I liked bad boys better than nice guys. When he was talking about himself, he was funny and erudite. Start talking about anything to do with me or someone else, and his eyes would glaze over. Start talking about him again, and his whole body would start almost wagging with joy.
I left that relationship tired by the constant work and the intensity. It cured me of wanting to play social worker to a bad boy. I can see a lot of similarities in both the comments about Ramona's death and the recent comments about his marriage to Airyn.
Does anyone know how the investigation is going, or if there even is one?
Laurie - you make some great points.
I heard that Clear Channel was very fussy about keeping their image clean. Don't they make their employees sign a morality clause? I had heard this somewhere. Does anyone in their corp office question an employee whose wife dies, he suddenly remarries, and then informs them that he wants to broadcast his show from basically a third world country.
I read a long time ago that electricity is a big issue in the Phillipines. How can you broadcast a radio program with spotty electricity? The whole thing is way out there.
I hadn't heard about Art not wanting his new child bride to work. If she really did go to college, and from what Art told on C2C that her family were farmers, it would be a big accomplishment for her to go to college and become a teacher. He's so self-centerd that he isn't going to let her teach? Oh, it gets grosser by the minute. That poor girl is that old guy's slave basically. Can you imagine being so desperate to give your self away to any creep that comes a long. Sickening & sad. Art should be very ashamed.
Just heard the sad news. (Change of work shift prevented me from following the show for the past 6 months)
God Bless you Art.
You are in my prayers...
Sad news? No, that was last week. This week is happy news.
Next week it'll be something else.
Hey, on C2C's website they put up a message from Art about "his situation." Says he isn't selling his house or radio station. Will be off the air for several weeks while he moves to Phillipines. www.coasttocoastam.com
I wonder if anyone will be interested in listening to him when he comes back on the air. I haven't listened to C2C since he announced marrying the new love of his life. I don't think I could ever believe a word that Art says after all this. Seems so phoney now.
I'm sure that "aliens" are behind the whole situation somehow.
According to George, they are pretty much responsible for everything these days.
About 1 in 20 shows (or less) really interest me any more.
I hope their ratings go in the toilet.
This says that monkey bites aren't uncommon in PI. Monkey bites? Yikes! Mentions maleria, other diseases, sea snakes, sharks, communist & muslim rebels, and terrible crime. Sounds like a h*** hole. Can anyone say "karma."
