Art Bell Remarries, Will Leave U.S.
Paranormal radio host Art Bell told listeners on Coast to Coast AM last night that he has remarried, given his pet cats away and will be leaving the country, according to the show's web site:
During the first hour, Art shared the story of how he met, fell in love with, and married a very special Filipino woman, Airyn Ruiz. Art also announced that he will be moving to the Philippines on April 29th to be with Airyn, but will continue doing weekend Coast programs from that location.
Art Bell's wife Ramona died in January at age 47 of circulatory failure resulting from an asthma attack.
Last night, Bell announced his new marriage on the air and shared photos of the wedding to Ruiz, 21, who met him over e-mail after Ramona's death.
Bell broadcasts his late-night talk show and an FM oldies station from his home in Pahrump, Nev., a desert town 50 miles from Las Vegas near Area 51. He left regular hosting duties behind on Coast to Coast in 2002 and now appears on weekends.
Some fans on an Art Bell online forum took the news personally:
What is even more shocking to me, is that he's leaving EVERYTHING behind ... the desert area, his home, his cats, the list is endless. ... I never would have thought a time would come when Art would go a day without his cats, no matter what. On his first show after Ramona died, he said that at one point, his cats were what kept him from suicide.
Update: I've posted the audio of Bell's announcement of the news on Coast to Coast.

"...he said that at one point, his cats were what kept him from suicide..."
Well, that and the Filipino mail order child bride. I asssume they'll be honeymooning at the Cherry Club in Olongapo City.
LOL.
Good for you, Art. Have a very happy life in the tropic isles! You deserve it.
I am disappointed in Art's behavior. He sure got over Ramona fast. Sounds odd to me.
BOY, HE SURE DID GET OVER RAMONAS DEATH QUICKLY. EVEN GETTING RID OF THE CATS HE WAS SO NUTS ABOUT. WHAT A BUNCH OF MALARKY, THE "LOVE OF HIS LIFE", LEFT HIM NOTHING WOULD EVER BE RIGHT AGAIN FOR HIM. HA HA HA
I was half asleep when he announced this strange turn of events. I heard him say that Ramona gave her blessing to his relationship. What did that mean? Did Ramona know "Airyn"?? Did he expand on when and how he met Airyn?
I think I will warm to this soon. He certainly is on the rebound and his actions may seem too soon since Ramona's death. However, he has found happiness with his new bride. I believe that his feelings are sincere. No one has beared his soul to his listeners like he has over several past personal tragedies. Like he said last night, life is short. He intends to live it to the fullest. Godspeed to him.

How can someone who loses a spouse after 15 years just go and get married a couple of months later? Doesn't make sense to me. Something doesn't sound right to me. I hope he is happy but I think it is weird she doesn't want to move over her. They say you should wait 1 year after a tramatic even to do anthing rash, this guy didn't even wait 3 months.
I, admittedly selfishly, somehow feel lost, even hurt. Maybe it's because I listened to Art for so many years while somewhere between sleep and wakefulness. Maybe it's because I depended on his calm and soothing voice to find peace in such a bizarre and hectic world. I have listened to his words with confidence, trust, and a feeling of deep admiration for so many countless nights. Maybe it's because I felt as if he was a friend. But, now I realize that the Art Bell I "knew" was someone completely different. I have never sensed his being boastful or arrogant in the past. But, last night was a different story.
Do you all remember the hoax email that circulated around the Internet about Art and his alleged prejudice against Filipinos? Isn't it ironic that he is leaving his home to spend the rest of his life there?
that's just WRONG. i mean look - whats wrong with that picture? husband and wife? sheesh.
Art Bell is a Bush apologist and a loser. George Noory saved the radio show by taking it over before the Bell ran his whole audience away. Goodbye and don't come back Art.
Something is not right here...your wife just died a couple of months ago and your over her death.....someone who was the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE??? I can't help this but I firmly believe you only married out of a need to fill in that void now in your life AND you gave away the CATS!!! That you so loved....I think not...I'm sorry Art...but your history now...telling all not to listen on weekends anymore.
Under Art's wedding photo's there is a link for donations to George's charity for children. I thought Art was adopting a child in the photo, not getting a replacement wife. Less than 100 days since the loss of his first life long love he is not only dating but remarried.??
Spud don't get it.
Spud thought the whole point to a mail order Filipino child bride was the fact that they get delivered to you not that you had to go to them.
Art is busy man.
Oh Well, to each his own Spud s'poses.
Spud did not attend the actual wedding ceremony but Spud did remote view it later.
The bride was stunning.
Be Well.
Divorced/Seperated and broke in 2 years.
My foot that Art is busy man, because I think that when one is an old fart like Art, you have to forget everything and everybody and ruuuun, run run to a child bride (wherever in the world she is), don't you think so Spud? And the bride is not that stunning...to me she looks like a potato.
Studies have shown that when a man has a happy marraige and his wife dies, he will most likely remarry quickly. An unhappy man will stay single longer sometimes until death. Make sense? leave the man alone. He obviously prefers ethnic women. His new bride is hot, he's rich.
most of you people are asses. if you knew anything about older men grieving, then you'd know that this happens quite often. He needs a woman in his life. Someone to love and take care of him, a human to love and receive his love while he gets over the tremendous chasm in his life. Those cats might have kept him from suicide, but a cat is not people, no matter how many cat lovers say otherwise. Art might need this. Someone who gives a damn to put up with him during. Friends can only go so far. And unwritten rules about years of self-induced punishment as mourning are silly. so why dont you stop demeaning his loss and his wife's death with your little "Murder She Wrote" fantasies?
This is just too strange for me--this situation bears watching, 'cause it ain't over yet.' This is way too fast, and I agree, to leave everything, is just plain bizarre.
Gzzzzzzzzzz. Does anyone remember this:
Judge not least ye be judged. Its his life, his choice and you only go around once.
Enjoy your life Art I found your program interesting and I hope you have found happiness.
So when is George going to marry me? Or am I too old now, I'm 23.
I stopped listening to Art Bell when he said that he believed the 911 commission report. I believe he is a government shill. I thank him for all the other work he did with the UFO's etc. I could care less who he marries I never listen to Coast to Coast anymore and do not subscribe. Jeff Rense is sooooo much better in more ways than one. By the way Art Bell seems to dislike Jeff Rense which does not make much sense to me.
I think Art Bell is sick. Always, telling us how he loved his wife.
One day all is coming out
you people are the nutters :) Must be something in the water.
I took General Douglas McArthor longer to return to the Phillipenes in World War 2, than the 100 days It took Art Bell to replace his Phillipene wife with a younger one.
Art Bell woo'ed his bride by telling her, he's 60 years old, and is a long time smoker. The Wedding Photo's of her relatives is something to see, do you think they have found out how long it takes to cash Art Bell's Social Security and Army Pension checks?
Art said Philipene people don't believe in divorse, is this like how in the Godfather, Frato was saying Hail Mary's as his brother dumed him into the lake? Will we see Art with a pinapple stuck in his mouth.
I'm a late night station-surfer, have run across Art's program occasionally, and happened to be listening when he made his announcement.
Life's short, and if you fall in love at whatever age or whatever the situation, grab on and ride it for all you're worth because it's the stuff life's made of.
Go Art!
This Just in :Despondent radio host Art Bell swan dives from balcony of his 16th floor penthouse in Manila , his body was found in a parking lot in the early morning hours . No suicide note was found and no witnesses to the incedent, his wife (accompanied by her 4 brothers ) when questioned by police said "phillipine people no believe in divorce"
If one of those big earth-shattering events were coming our way, did we really expect that Art and Ed would stick around to watch it from the States? Didn't Ed say he was getting married and moving to Siberia? Maybe we are witnessing Art and Ed heading for the hills.
we don't know the whole story! so what if shes younger! as long as the ol man is happy. and these mail order bride cracks ARE BS my better half is Filipina and I DID NOT PAY POSTAGE ON HER!! people need to quit assuming for Christ sake! its just too bad Art left everything at KNYE wish i would have known i'd babysit the station congrats OBB/new YL
When Art leaves this country he'd better pack his suitcases with Viagra.
What the hell!?! I e-mailed Art and was sympathetic! I'm young and hot, too. I'm Mexican, maybe he doesn't like spicy tacos!
Check out the picture of her wearing a 'naughty and nice' shirt. What a little Filipina skank!
I've changed my mind about Art. It's a little fishy.
Things that make you go hmmmm.
Poor cats.
Art a Bush apologist? I hardly think so! A government shill? Come on you people!
I admit I'm shocked by the announcement of the wedding last night but I think I'm more shocked that he's moving and has found new homes for the cats. I wish Art all the best and congratulate him on what I hope is his new great love.
Anyone who listened to Art in the first few weeks that followed his loss should realize he was close to slipping over the edge and I am grateful for anything or anyone who was able to keep him from doing so.
I hope to be as lucky if my wife dies when I am 60 and leaves me griefstricken to find a pretty young bride of any ethnicity to have a few good years again on the earth. (But he could have waited a bit longer.)
I was once married to a Filipina that I met through a pen-pal club/dating service called Cherry Blossoms. The marriage was a fairly good one and my wife was 2 years older than me. We stayed married for 7 years and had 3 kids. She filed for divorce about a week after she got her US citizenship. Coincidence? I don't think so. I think Art has a LOTTTTTT that he SHOULD be worried about. He should have dated this woman for a longer period of time, and definately married someone older than a 21 year old girl. I have a lot of respect for Art.....so I won't say anything negative about his choices......but I do wish him good luck.-Michael
I couldn't believe my ears when Art announced that he had remarried. I immediately thought of the "love of his life and soulmate" Ramona. What a dishonor to her and her family. The pictures of Art and his much younger wife look pathetic. An old goat and his trophy wife. I wonder how long after Ramona's death that he started his correspondence with her? He sure had a short grieving process. On the show he sounded like he had just won the jackpot. I wonder how long it will take the new Mrs. Bell to wake up and smell the coffee?????
At first I thought the whole thing was a joke when I drove home from work, or that maybe he was reading from someone else's story....Maybe Art just doesn't like being alone, alot of men don't. When my cats or dog died, I would get a new cat or dog to get over it because it hurt so much, but I am older now and can you replace a person?
Oh well, good luck Art....but thanks for retiring and putting on George Noory who is more my kind of host anyway.....be happy, and watch your back with this new little one in the Phillipines...you never know....Hope it don't end like that, and you are truly happy....
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.
OJ, Robert Blake, Art Bell... the cops better do some quick investigating before Art slips out of the country for good.
Oh yeah....I forgot that cats are hamburgers in the Phillipines....maybe his new bride might have thought she should cook them....
Good move, Art. Poor kitties! They boil them alive in the Phillipines, did you know Art?
Sheeessh!!!!!! What's wrong with this picture? When I was 20, the thought of having sex with a 60 year old man grossed me out.....it's gotta be she thinks he has money....
Thank god for the stability of George Noory....Why do these old Art Bell fans dislike him so?
From the high desert to a cramped 12 foot story stinky apartment complex in Manilla....
You gonna hate it Art...it will get old fast...
What about Art's son? Where is he in the pictures?
Don't know...I was wondering that, too.
Nice piece of ass he got there! We should all be so lucky at his age!
Gee, Art has money and his wife is pretty. Sounds quite typical to me.
You women just sound bitter that life has passed you by.
Men want the most attractive woman they can afford;
women want the richest man they can attract.
Quite simple, really.
Nice piece of ass HUH!!. I wonder what you would say if somebody referred to your mother as a "nice piece of ass".
It's pretty obvious why you haven't got a "nice piece of ass".
I won't judge, but it's a little weird, but people marry for all sorts of reasons. If Art is marrying with a good heart and conscience, Good Luck; if he or his bride are doing it for the wrong reasons, well, the Fates will win.
Good Luck, because it takes more than 'hot' to keep it going.
Signed, married to my Internet honey, AFTER getting to know each other well. We are both from the same country, although 2 different ethnic backgrounds. Yankee & Southerner..(2 years), and I didn't give away a DAMNED thing!
A friend told me once that it's easy to make a small fortune in the Philippines...
Just arrive with a large fortune!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who got suspicious at this abrupt end of mourning and a quicky marriage. It really looks either insane, or suspicious as hell. And the new bride comes out looking worse than even Art does. You would think even a 20 year old would have told him to let things take their time, to be cautious. Unless she's got alterior motives.
Not only is she another Filipino (what is it that some guys have about Asian women? Size? Ingrained obedience?) but the age difference is pretty obvious (I really shouldn't judge since there's nothing wrong if it's true love). Ah, but is it true love? After 3.5 months would Art even know it? He should know better than to let his misery drive him to do this. But then he always deluded himself and made a fortune deluding the radio public. Not that I think he did that intentionally. He's just intellectually dishonest and doesn't function much differently from most of the pathetic humans that plague the planet.
I was really disturbed by the above posting be Margarita Polanco that seemed to be very OK with the idea that young women should prostitute themselves for security/money (or that older established men should be exploited and used for their money). "He's rich and she's hot" is a sentiment that shows just how shallow most people are.
Speaking of shallow...
This business of Art discarding his cats is disturbing but I can't say I'm shocked. He never was a deep thinker (though he fancies himself to be one). After all the years of him talking about them, after all the times he likened them to his kids, after the promise he supposedly made to Ramona to take care of the cats... and now he just goes and discards them like inanimate objects!? WTF?
Yeah Art, karma can be a beatch. You could end up feeling less than loved, just like those cats.
Visited, married & lived in Philippines and still retain jungle home there next to hot springs / mountains. No doubt, Art's move is correct. Once you've experienced being married to young Philipina girl one will never go back to American bitch. His girl will worship him, wait on him and treat him like GOD. Anyone know how that feels? Fresh fruits, simple life and tax no man. One can forget about problems of stateside after living there. Just eat, drink and be merry. It's truely adult disney world there. My hats off for you choice Art. She's a keeper !!!
She is the best inflatable I've seen in a long time. T
What the hell! When I saw the pictures I thought she was Ramona's daughter.I was stunned. Let's see? 35/40 years age difference naughty & nice strippers t shirt, Art leaves it all behind for some kid with no brains. No! respect for poor Ramona's memory. How do you replace the love of your life that quickly? Hmmm, Maybe he spun off into a parralell universe or some time warp, you know,life's short,grab alll you can. P.S. His show is paranormal alright. Hmmm?, Maybe "I" could create another reality with a real young guy.
Those babies really know how to get a mans attention. Iv'e seen them in them in the ----- flicks. Iv'e heard they can cook too!
There's one other fact that has ALWAYS disturbed me re: Art & Ramona:
My mother suffered from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - asthma & emphysema (sp?) were part of her condition. Dust, pet dander, humidity, etc...anything could trigger an episode of breathing difficulty for her.
Now, Art & Ramona lived in Nevada, and Ramona had severe breathing trouble. The low humidity would certainly have been helpful to her, but a desert-like environment? AND all those cats?! Her brother had 2 cats, and my mother ALWAYS ended up gasping in his house (until he got some high-powered air purifiers).
Would a truly loving husband subject his beloved to such torture, given her condition?
What a loser...both of them. I thought the purpose of a mail order bride is that they GET MAILED! No need to move to a poverty-ridden country! WOW, not the Art Bell I love.
But gotta give him credit, he's doing what he wants and doesn't give a damn about what you and I think. Enjoy your new Piss of A$$ Art!
Opps...I meant Piece of A$$
yes what DID happen to his son? he never even mentioned him being at the funeral? is he well? over the trauma of the past? if not is he leaving him here in the states for good...
i am very sad about this whole thing
art should KEEP the house and all the equipment and KNYE and wait a year or two to see how things go...why sell so fast this is wacky.....art THINK THINK THINK.....
Art Bell is a spoiled out-of-touch (witness his 911 denial) ego-maniac who needs a child to worship him and feed his extra-large ego! Some people call that love..
It wasn't his cats that kept him from suicide just after Ramona's death....It was his little pussy.
He's probably having his second childhood. I feel sorry for those cats, after he said for so many years how precious they were to him and his wife. I think he is on such a high with this young girl he is not thinking clearly. I feel sad about Ramona...I don't think he had anything to do with her death, but to get over her death so quickly; it doesn't make sense. I enjoyed coast to coast am in the early years, but Art as host really went downhill during his many retirements. George Noory does a good job at it, so I don't miss Art as host at all. I hope Art isn't making a huge mistake, though, I have nothing against him.
Having listened to Art for many years, not believing all that stuff by any means, but enjoying the shows-- I was totally shocked to hear that he married this 21 yr old woman after only 3 months since his "beloved soulmate" Ramona died. Having been married for over 20 years I just can NOT imagine this in any way. My respect for him has declined. When he announced he was off the air for a while, I figured it was to continue grieving and recovering in private, then he comes back on air and starts going on about this person, I couldn't believe what I was hearing! My suspicions are raised about the circumstances of Ramona's death, for sure. Sorry, Art, something is fishy here.
Sincere condolences on the loss of your husband, Warrior-Woman.

He's obviously trying to fill the void in his life, and getting rid of everything that reminds him of his wife. Running from his memories, or something. Hope it works out for him.
The entire thing seems rather suspicious to me. I don't believe Art murdered Ramona or anything quite so dramatic. More likely, he was vulnerable, not a very deep thinker, and this young woman zeroed in on him and knew the right things to say.
According to his own report, this young woman wrote him a condolence note on his private email address (acquired from one of his "ham radio buddies") and before he knew it, he was "falling in love." Such nonsense from a mature man! Sorry to put it so bluntly, but I suspect his dick is leading the way on this one. Meanwhile, this young woman will have a very good life.
What bothers me about this story is that he's selling all his stuff and moving to the Philippines, it makes me wonder if he knows he's doing something illegal, or 'can't' bring her to the United States for some reason. I think he's a crook.
I used to respect Art Bell even though he was a little strange. Now I am disgusted with him. Getting married to a young woman of her age is dispicable, especially so soon after his wife died. He must have lost his mind.
Oh my god these posts are hilarious, maybe this Art Bell character is in real trouble! LOL

Repeat after me:
Airyn is not Ramona
Airyn is not Ramona
Airyn is not Ramona
I cannot believe that in barely 3 months of Ramona's
passing you are getting married! Trying to replace
Ramona with this poor girl. What woman wants to be the
rebound love? That is so utterly disrepectful
especially from an asian point of view. You are
supposed to mourn for at LEAST a year. In fact, 3
months marks a passing of the soul to the otherworld
in Asian tradition, and it sounds like during this 3
months you went and "fell in love" with this mail
order bride??
Unbelievable! As a asian woman, I am sickened by your
actions, and if I were the ghost of Ramona, I would
haunt you for the rest of your life and give you no
peace. I have lost before, and if you truly loved
Ramona, there is no way in hell you an even look at
another, much less marry them. Art, I am so done with
you. You have no morals, you think you can just go and
buy yourself a young wife. Well KARMA will take care
of you. What does this young girl see in you other
than $$$$.
Look, I understand you are lonely and desperate, but
for gods sake man up and do the right thing. But I
guess your true colors come out this time, don't even
bother broadcasting from the east, your voice makes me
sick to my stomach. Notice all the people who
congratulate you are men with mail order brides from
Ukraine etc. You guys are pathetic.
ps: you must be on prozac to be so insensitive. It may
be your life, but I don't want to hear your voice
anymore pervert
George Noory Rules!
None of this is true is it? Its all just a Hoax perpetrated by Noory to get us to send money to third world children isnt it?
It must be the side effects of all those HGH pills he's been taking, they've rotted his ability to make moral decisions...I think a lawsuit is in order!
But what about the cats?
Just look at that drooling turd-dervish grope that little girl! WHAT A FREAKING SICKO! I hope Art Bell rots in Hell.
Art, why?
Therapy would have been cheaper in the long run.
What a sick freak. I don't even know what to say, I guess his detractors were right, this dude is an immoral conman after all!
Did he dye his hair? Wheres his mustache? What an old pervert.
Art Bell Celebrity Sex Videos Coming Soon on a porn site near you!
So what's next is George Noory going to marry a gay man? Perhaps even Richard Hoagland?
Anyone who says he's trying to "forget" Ramona is nuts. She looks almost exactly like her. Maybe she's a clone or something...
I wonder how much she cost?
Ramona must be spinning in her grave.
I have high blood pressure.
I wonder what George thinks about this whole mess?
George ain't going to open his mouth about this - and probably shouldn't! It would be political suicide.
It's been fun reading the various observations here. My award for "Diet Coke On The Keyboard" comes from Shela. "It wasn't his cats that kept him from suicide just after Ramona's death....It was his little pussy."
I've got to wonder if Art is reading these. If you are, man, wake up!
No way George will say anything bad about Bell...although I think he should separate himself from this whole mess by NOT condoning it.
He probably wanted them as young as possible so she wont die on him. or leave him either since he kept stressing how their is no divorce in that country. What a tool.
I wonder if Art Bell is incapable of having a normal relationship with a woman. He used to describe in detail how he and Ramona were "never apart... not even for one day." That sounds kind of needy and strange to me!
As for the callers - the old white guys who wanted to marry these young Philippinas themselves - they sounded mostly like guys who wouldn't be able to attract an American woman!
On the other hand, I also wish that there was a place for women to be able to order husbands! You know, old fashioned guys who don't mind being providers and can stay faithful!
No winners in this one, I guess.
Does she even speak engrish
For you morons cheering the fact that "Old Art got young snatch"....you are a bunch of pervs yourselves...
Would you like an old man to marry your young daughters and treat her like a trophy? probably wouldn't care....scary some people should have kids
Art......YOU SUCK
Along with his quick discard of his supposedly precious cats, I was stunned that he was trying to sell his crap over the airwaves. His cars, his RV, his guns... even the 5 acres with home and guest house... how utterly crass... I was waiting for him to start selling off Ramona's old clothes...
So when did they abduct Art Bell and put this moron clone down here...
Geez Louise you have got to be kidding me.
You people get busy reverse speaking his show...has to be some indicators there.
Dang head-shaker, Art.
As a relationship expert a fan of Art Bell and a fellow ham N2Ctz-www.the-radio-
operator.com I cannot believe how fast Art Bell remarried.
I am stunned at how he is remarried after his wife died Jan 5 2006 ,how he is giving up everything.
He needs to sit back for a month and reconsider leaving the USA,giving away his cats and moving to a foreign country in the name of LOVE.
Art take a year to reconsider leaving nevada and your cats!
Your married let your wife come to nevada
does anyone know what happened to his son? he never ever mentions him.
art check out my website and dont leave the USA
www.survivingbreakup.com
I don't remember Art asking for everyone's advice.
I've enjoyed Art's show for many years and wish him nothing but the best. I hope that he finds happiness and overcomes his loss and lonliness through this marriage. Good luck!!
He didn't ask us for an opinion, but he did waste over an hour telling me of this sick union. I have the right to say what I want if he can
to alma james..whats wrong with american ladies????well i tell u what..american ladies lost their virginity at early age ( 9 years old..) in the philippines u can find a virgin girl ate age 30..
great a virgin child bride. i'm sure he will be extra
care ful while deflowering her.
That's a bit of an overgeneralization! (understatement). There are many American women who are of perfectly good character. We have a hard time meeting appropriate men! Because of feminism, most men have been acculturated to believe they don't have to do anything but show up.
I have been a loyal Art Bell fan for a number and have had my suspicions for a while now. I don't know what to think, but one thing I do know is that I cannot bring myself to listen to him anymore. The whole situation from the time of Ramona's death to the present has made me sick to the stomach.
The sad thing is, is that I have enjoyed C2C so much especially when Art was on (not a big George Noory fan)but there are other shows along similar lines out there.
I agree - she looks a lot younger than 21
WOW! I have thoroughly been entertained by everyone's comments. As a long time listener to Coast to Coast, I am quite shocked by Art's actions as well. In three months since his wife's death, how can you manage to, supposedly, find a new love and then to even marry her! I'm sorry, but I cried for weeks after my dog had to be put to sleep, AND THAT WAS JUST A DOG!!! How can you say that Ramona was the love of your life and then you suddenly have a new one three months later? Something's fishy! Mid-life crisis????? Sounds like it to me!
Good Luck Art, You're going to need it. By the way watch your step over there because in those 3rd world countries they still behead people in some areas and they hate Americans. Also, If you run out of cash, "can do" will turn into "no can do"
Very interesting observations. Having also worked in the Philippines, I concur that the Bells will not be living in the lap of luxury. "Condo" is not the correct term for those high-rises in Manila.
That aside, does anyone know if any investigation into Ramona's death took place? As I recall, Art announced that he found her in the kitchen area of their RV, that she was "pale" and it was obvious "she was gone." He went on to say that she had severe asthma and they owned equipment to help her condition. I'm assuming that he never smoked around her. At least one hopes not!
I'm not implying that he did anything. He's not that stupid. I'm just wondering what others have heard about it and the medical details.
Worked in Manila? Virginia-spook? Should that be Langley-spook?
did he call 911 when she was having an asmtha attack?
new wife to Art:
hey lookie lookie artie....i make you you boorgers....
no....ohhhooho no not fluffy!!!
ohhohhho :(
"Visiter", I can't imagine! The people I know who have asthma are very protective of their environments. The thing to keep in mind is that the air purification systems available to someone as wealthy as Art Bell would be strong enough to take care of the dander. Don't know for certain though. I'm very curious, for sure.
I think Ramona was a smoker as well.
Sasha - Yikes! Well, that changes the complexion of things, doesn't it?
I think there is an alien involved. I think it is in Art's pants!
As a white dude who has been married to a Filipina for almost 10 years, I would like to make some comments on this issue. First of all, many and maybe most single Filipinas would like to be married to an American, a Canadian, a European, or an Australian. The ladies understand that an American trash collector makes more than a Filipino doctor. Young Filipino husbands often find it difficult to find and/or keep their jobs, so the woman becomes the main provider. The younger Filipino husbands are also known to chase around - even more than Yanks. To many young Filipinas, an old fart like Art or me is considered a good catch. We will tend to be good husbands, take good care of them, and when we croak, they will end up with a few bucks in their pocket. I think that Ramona would put Art's happiness above protocol. Personally, I think that it's a mistake for him to dump everything and head off to Manila, as it is a very different life style, and while it may be fun for a few months, it ain't the good ol' U.S. of A. I do wish him good luck, however.
First there was Mel's hole...now there's Art's hole and it's in the Philippines.
Yup! They just loved the cats and kept accumulating more and more of them while poor Ramona with a breathing problem got sicker and sicker on cat hairs, dander and litter box dust. As soon as she went under he dumped the old cats and really came out of the bag with a beloved new kitty.
Wait till the GIS starts recording EVP's like "Art killed me", "That ole fart", and "Richard, it's really not a face".
mail order brides should be against the law. it's exploitive and gross. i don't care how much money and old man has. who wants an old wrinkled body when you are 20 years of age. i'd rather pour battery acid in my eyes than sleep with an old man
To all you conspiracy theorists: Don't overthink this situation!
Maybe he was very happy with Ramona and wanted that same kind of feeling back in his life.
Maybe he just needed to be away from all the memories of Nevada.
He did say he was bringing a couple of his cats with him. Just not all!
I look very forward to his future shows.
Good Luck Art!
Is it just me, or does Art like like the picture of the guy (Rogers Cadenhead) that runs this site? Look at the two pictures at the top of this page. Creepy huh?
Does anyone know the URL where I can order a child bride?
an absurd act for an absurd man.i smell
a fish in all of this
I hope I don't have to hear a third night of "Congratulations to Art" crap the radio goes off. Can this man do no wrong in some of his worshippers' eyes?
I don't really want to hear about it anymore. They'll screen out the negative calls to begin with.
Let's get back to business. No more, please George....thanks
I wonder if Art will have a picture of Ramona next to his bed in the high-rise condo? The thought of Ramona staring at Art's pale flabby ass as it moves up and down on top of Airyn's young tan body. Well, on the bright side, Ramona will only have to see it moving up and down for 30 seconds.
Are we sure Art really gave those other kittens away?..or maybe they died of a sudden asthma attack while trapped inside a sack slowly floating down to the bottom of a lake.
Funny, I can't get to this link anymore. I did a google search on "Airyn Philippines". I guess she is taken now.

I just can't find #44726 (Airyn, age 25). She is not listed anymore.
One of you computer people please go hack into that site and get a picture of #44726. I would be very curious to see it.
It was too soon after Ramona's death and you should have married someone your own age. So you so loved your cats,hope you like your new pussy as well.
Egads....looks like a slave action....and these desperadoes actually say there telephone number are available....have they heard of serial killers?
Below is a statement from www.russianmailorderbridefinde

Didn't Art say he had several video conferences with her?

Russianmailorderbride, eh? How very interesting. His friend, Ed Dames, is marrying a Ukrainian woman. Ed Dames, the supposed former intelligence officer who had a TS clearance, is marrying a Ukranian woman and is planning to move there permanently. At another point in the show, he stated that he has been busy "helping the FSB*."
*FSB - former KGB
Both of those men sound rather strange to me.
Homeland Security will be all over both of their asses.
This is driving me nuts. I did another search for "Airyn Philippines" on Ask.com. I get:
Liberal Matchmaking

I go to http://
www.foreignmatchmaking.com and there is no record of an Airyn, age 26 from the Philippines. The page is blank.
If Al invented the internet, I guess Art ownes it!
Art Bell is above reproach. This is a man whose integrity,compassion, humanity and intelligence are self-evident.
His every broadcast contains golden nuggets of hard-won wisdom and knowledge that he has integrated with the acumen and honesty of an astoundingly successful businessman, all the while providing entertainment and valuable information to millions of people around the world who have benefitted from listening to this radio-broadcasting genius. That he has a personal fortune estimated by Forbes Magazine at $170 million as a result of his unqualified success should surprise no one. His genius in the medium of radio is akin to the brilliant talent displayed by Orson Welles during his brief foray into radio in the 1930s.
And now, for Mr. Bell to be fortunate enough, and wise enough, to find true love when and where he least expected it, is the ultimate blessing for this man of great heart, character and talent. His marriage to this lovely young woman is nothing less than a testament and tribute to his late wife's beuaty and humanity.
Mr. Bell looks so happy, dignified and comforted in the lovely photographs with his beautiful wife. He is a man of honor; ready and willing to commit himself to the woman he loves and marry her -- he does nothing half-way!
Mr. Bell truly is an exemplar for all men. He is a successful businessman whose life is filled with wealth, adventure, beauty and romantic love. And such a dashing gentleman! I tip my hat to you, Mr. Bell, and salute your example as a model of outstanding success and even more excellent character.
I just keep staring at her picture at the top of this page. I'm just jealous. I think I'm in love.
Art Bell is above reproach.

Get Real Bozo! above reproach??

BRAIN TUMOR!!! What happened to his " beloved son"?
Damn you're good. I guess that's not her, but they all look alike to me. ;)
well...the new bride pictures were removed from c2c website....hmmmmm
he was so anxious for everyone to see them....
On Saturday night, he said the pics would be gone by today. It was a weekend-only feature. Looks like the same person to me - and the residence is consistent.
Maybe they took the pictures off because he got tired of her and killed her. You know, Art has been known to retire on Sunday night and return the following Saturday.
Remember, once you start killing it's hard to stop.
Ed Dames you are another sick F--k!
My guess is Art's indulging in a little 'transference', confusing his dead wife with the new replacement. He's loaded but willing to give up everything and move to the Phillipines to appease his new bride? C'mon people, this little lady is playing Art for a fool. Once his Social Security benefits kick in and she's eligible for widow's benefits - Art is a goner for sure. Wonder how she plans to spend his millions.
Defend the old crackpot all you want, but something is very wrong with this picture. Anyone who believes the story of how Art & his grand-daughter/wife met should contact me about buying ocean-front property in Kansas. No 20 year old girl (if she really IS 20; looks closer to 14/15 to me) starts writing to some old goat (Art is 60+, right?) and flirting with him right after his "soulmate" died. Are we really supposed to believe that's the way they met? BS.
I can't listen to Art Bell anymore. In my opinion, he's nothing more than a heartless pervert, and quite delusional too. Sorry to say I hope his grand-daughter/wife takes him for every penny he has and refuses to sleep with him after he moves to the Philipines.
"It became obvious to me after a very short time that this young woman Art had met online was a remarkable and unusual human being" - Whitley Strieber (www.unknowncountry.com)
..yeah, like the first time he puts his old rolling stones albums on and she says, "what is that crap? turn it off..it's time to go to my mother's house...those cats you gave her have been stewing all day"
Art will probably catch her screwing his son. Remember, she's not only nice...she is naughty!
Romona died unexpectedly on January 5th. On Jan. 29th Art said that he would have an exciting announcement to make, maybe in a year. Last night he said that his new marriage was that exciting announcement.
Something reallllly stinks about this. Art, you're a dirty old man.
Art you old fart
Art's a friend of mine.
We go way back!
I swear last time I was at the Hooters in Manilla I saw that girl working there. I thought Art said they are a very religous people? I'm sure a girl that picks out and wears a "Naughty, but Nice" stripper's teeshirt would never be out to take an old man for everything he's got.
Art could have saved himself all this trouble by just driving to Vegas and kidnapping a young girl and keeping her in his desert hideaway. Who would have known? Shit, he could get a new girl every weekend with that fancy RV he owns.
We understand that she is attracted to Art's ears! Very unique feature indeed..
Art is not a religious man but he was going on and on about how divorce is not legal in the Phillipines....did he convert to Catholicism?
and then he says he pronounced her name as Erin, but it's something like Irene, is that right?
hell....why would you bother with a man that won't even pronounce your name right and is old enough to be your gramps...
Yes, he did say that he pronounces her name as "Erin", even though the correct pronunciation is "Irene".
Really respectful, eh? (rolling eyes)
Almost time for the show to begin.
The Society Page Of Manilla
Nuptial Vows of Art Bell and new child bride took place at the Sandalfoot hotel. The Reception took place at the swimming pool and the main courses served were fried dog on rice, and kitty-kat o'deuovers served on a bed of goat skin.
The happy couple toasted with a bottle of Boones Farm Stawberry Hill.
They will be residing on top of a shit hill of condos in a high-tower location in Manilla with rotten indoor plumbing.
Better him than me.
I can see it all now. Soon after Art's untimely death, his young bride will return to the US to claim her $$. Shortly after that, she will open a chain of nail shops and bring over all her uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. to enjoy the good life. Maybe she can specialize in little UFO paintings on all those fingernails. Kinda like a tribute to her sugar daddy.
how the hell can you do a late night show in the middle of the day?
So he bothers to get his 101 cats names' right, but pronounces her name the way he wants....yeah, really respectful....old geezer
Ok listen up peeps-a-plenty...
All you folks into Reverse Speech get busy...he must have said "Did you see the pictures?" 50 times during the show, even to people who said they had NO computers, plus he calls her by the wrong name...what does this all say in reverse???
David John Oates we need you!!!
ACK! Out of boredom, gave up my membership months ago and now have no access to record and reverse.
Wah....
Dr. Evil... He says he will use darkout shades and keep the entire place without light so that it will "feel" right. The man's a wacko!
how the hell can you do a late night show in the middle of the day?
*******
i dunno but it's gonna suck for him after awhile....the humidity and at his age....poor ole dude.
Art.....don't do this. bigoot no like phiilipino that ate us all :(
Dr. Evil, will you marry me?
Well mates, I'm glad he's leaving the kitties behind.
Those loons down there will eat anything with more than two legs. A group of filipinos attacked my camera with a tripod with a noose on a pole and proceeded to boil it in one of those large pots!
And I couldn't even sue for damages!
Art, good luck with your new relationship. Try not to let most of the ingnorant posts here get to you. I married a philippina 2 years ago, and she is half my age. Alot of the women... no, most Americans are closed minded and arrogant. Let him who has no skeletons in his closet cast the first stone. People sem to forget that America was NOT the inventor of culture. Besides, a hundred years ago there were arranged marriages between 12 and 15 years old, and alot of times there was a big difference in age... This was in the good ol' USA! So, my sincere regards go out to you and your new wife! I wish you joy, happiness, and success now and forever. And to those that are hateful and narrow minded that seek only to hurt in this forum, get a life people. I've spied on the likes of you for a living, and theres one thing I know. Everybody is the same in this world. Just different levels. And EVERYBODY have things in there life to be ashamed of and ridiculed. What Art has done isn't even anything to be ashamed of. A true friend wishes only the best for his friends. Peace
PS- Before anybody bothers to flame my last post, I know about the typos... I've been up for the last 16 hours working, so I think I deserve a break... Peace
I think Art took too many drugs to cure his "blues" when Ramona passed away and obviously it's caused him an attack of amnesia and blindness......forgot how "he was devoted and loved Ramona more than life itself" and they do say "love is blind" -- in this case, Art has succumbed to a case of "blindess".............and all those tears when one of his cats died last year and how he "loves them" and they comfort him ??? Obivously this Phillipeno chick gives good "honey for his money"..............Art you really disappointed your fans. !!!
Well, I have a news for you, R. Parnell: Art doesn't care (and has never cared) what his audience think of him. And because of that I am glad that people are making fun of him and his child bride and his stupid saturday night boasting about her "beauty".
And one more thing: Art should be ashamed of the fact that while he was already "dating" her online, people were sanding him condolences and sencere words of how sorry they were about Ramona's death. The last condolence was dated 04/12/2006, four days after he was already married.
So, in my eyes he IS a hypocrite and creep.
It's not the 40 year age difference, or the fact that he met and fell in love with someone immediately after his "soulmate's" death, but rather the fact that it is BOTH OF THESE at once.
After reading these posts, I can only assume his artbell@mindspring.com and artbell@aol.com accounts are just as filled with the nasty. I don't think that there will be a radio show from the Phillipines for very long.
I think he just shoved too much down his fan's throats, too fast. We were still missing Ramona.
I wonder if Ramona was also a mail order bride. Perhaps he is trying to relive the past. He did say Airyn is the same age as Ramona when they met.
What is that saying, "It's not WHAT you said, but HOW you said it" that bothers me.
His head was so huge, and he thought he could do no wrong. "I am so in love, she's up on the web site" PLEASE! He thought that Clear Channel would keep him no matter what... I think Art Bell just did himself in. Bye Art...
I listened to him for 40 minutes and then took a lunesta.

TOO SOON after Ramona's passing
Art Bell's radio lead-in line comes to mind - "Wanna take a ride?" I think he's being taken on a ride that will not last.
Without one mention of his own son, Art Bell broke his news Saturday night. The 60 year old radio guy sounded like a naive teenager as he spun the tale of how he met and fell in love with a Phillipine girl over a webcam connection.
The only surprise was that he's not importing the 21 year old - that he's relocating there - at least for a year. I would guess that is because of immigration quotas and waiting periods more than her wanting to stay in the Phillipines.
Art is deluding himself to believe that she did not know who he was until many weeks into the internet "relationship". Surely, Art's ham radio friend who gave the girl Art's personal e-mail address gave told her that Art was a very rich and famous radio personality/author.
The biggest thing I question is the timing. Art seemed genuinely distraught at Ramona's passing and to go out and remarry someone else 3 months after her passing seems so wrong and disrespectful to a loving and dedicated wife and her memory.
It was pathetic to hear Art ask callers Saturday night if they saw her pictures posted on his website saying how extraordinarily beautiful she is. In fact she is very average looking and about 4 feet tall.
The fact that this new wife is young enough to be his granddaughter is very disturbing !
It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool. This proves it.
I had a friend who stupidly got involved with THREE different foreign women (one after the other over a 15 year period) who essentially used him as a ticket to America. And then they import their families - all of them - by the dozens.
Phillipines and Russians are notorious for the practice but I've personally known it to be done by women from Vietnam, Greece, Thailand and England.
Art abandoning his unique Nevada compound seems like a huge mistake. Hiring caretakers would seem like a more reasonable alternative until his eventual return - and I predict he will return with or without the new wife.
AB is an impulsive guy who has retired at least 3 diiferent times only to overturn his own decisions. Frankly, I'm surprised that ClearChannel puts up with him.
I think Carol Simpson and others have done a much better job handling the overnight show in a more balanced way than Bell ever has.
Reply to SICKAYA..
Too many American woman are bitches and not the desire of real men!
They share the bed with the beloved vibrator..because no real man could tolerate them.
Wake-up American woman..you have an identity crisis!!
Foreign women will love American men for a very long time!!!
Narcissistic Personality Disorder anyone. Reminds me of Woody Allen. Sooner or later you find out that the personality they have been presenting is a false one, designed to make you like them. This isn't just some media personality gone wild; by combining their personal lives with their professional personas they have gotten you to feel you know them, to identify with them, even to like or love them-in short you have entered an emotional relationship with them because you have projected part of yourself upon them. Then they do something that violates what most people consider common decency.
Now you must make a choice and are presented with a double-bind, deny your own value system and continue to be a fan, or reject the new persona presented. With rejection comes the sense of betrayal because you have already emotionally invested in them under false pretenses. And you have helped them, by being their fan in the past, reach a level of wealth and prestige you may now feel they don't deserve. In short you have given your time, money, emotion and trust to someone you now find out meets your definition of a creep.
This is especially bad in the case of a Paranormal Show, because many listeners turn to this type of program who are dealing with the issues of illness and death. Coast to Coast has a wide variety of listeners icluding those who are facing serious and terminal illness. They take heart in guests who speak of life after death, how are they going to feel about this callous attitude towards the death of a spouse.
ART BELL BETRAYS AUDIENCE AND HUMANITY
Should be the headline.
Forget all this nonsense about 'live and let live,' and 'good luck' and all this crap.
Ramona's grave is still warm for Christ sakes!
Have you no decency Art Bell?
Reading this post disturbs me.
www.digg.com
The first response says "this will kill him, they were soulmates" which is how we all felt. It was terrible. Shocking. Little did we know however. Not only doesn't he give a flying fuck about his dead wife, he's now getting rid of his beloved cats, he went to great lengths over the years to convince us they were like his very children, his best friends, 'almost human' and how the egyptians worshipped cats? How many cat shows did he have? How many shows on soulmates?

Remember that Art Bell is the guy who tried hard to sell us emergency provision packages in 1999 for $5000 or more to deal with the upcoming calamity of the Y2K crisis and all the fallout and failure in services thereafter.
To me, his credibility has always been in question.
There are conspiracies at work in the world and it is good to be open to hearing about the possibilities but most - not all - of Art's stuff is trumped-up tripe aimed at the fringe element.
Anyone interested in the real conspiracies of the world would do well to tune in to LOU DOBBS on CNN each night. Dobbs and his staff focus on the real problems we face. Other network news gives us nothing but allegations of lacrosse team rapists, the high school coed missing in Aruba, the overboard groom, the runaway bride and other dribble that is of little or no real consequence.
I wish that Bell would retire and mean it. During his recent absence, they were re-running his shows from years ago and no one could tell the difference.
Lou Dobbs? Hehe...okay fruity...whatever, Art Bell is a perv, there can be no doubt, but spare us the evangelization, we may have been duped by one wolf, were certainly not going to go running to another wolf.
en.wikipedia.org
Ramona Bell, his wife of fifteen years, died unexpectedly of an acute asthma attack on January 5, 2006 in Laughlin, Nevada, where the couple was taking a short vacation. She was 47 years old. The events surrounding her death were discussed, often emotionally, by Art Bell during the January 22 broadcast of Coast to Coast AM. [4]
[edit]
Remarriage, Re-Location
Bell announced in early March 2006 that he would soon be taking a "huge risk" and "do something rash". On April 15, 2006, he shocked listeners by revealing that he had recently gone to the Philippines and had married Airyn Ruiz, a 21-year-old recent college graduate. Ruiz had contacted Bell through his personal e-mail address, offering condolences shortly after Ramona's death. Ruiz was given Bell's private contact information from a ham radio friend who was courting Airyn's sister. After dating via internet video conferencing for "hundreds of hours," the two married one week after Bell arrived in the Philippines to meet her in person. Bell also footed the bill for his friend to accompany him in the Philippines and marry Airyn's sister; the two couples wed in a double marriage on April 8, 2006.
At the same time, it was announced Bell would be leaving his longtime homestead in Nevada and relocating to the Philippines, near Manila, where he will continue hosting Coast to Coast AM via an ISDN connection. He is currently in the process of selling his property and possessions in preparation for the move, as well as finding new homes for his cats.

ART BELL INTERVIEW WITH GORDON MICHAEL SCALLION
AB=Art Bell
GMS=Gordon Michael Scallion
GMS: It induced a lot of fear because the time frame, you have to remember, was the roaring 80's like the roaring 20's. You know every day a new credit card was arriving in the mail for most people and the good times were just rolling. And no one wanted to hear about things that were going to happen from 1989 through 1998 which is when I was able to discern that's when the greater changes would begin. They would being in 89 and then they would accelerate in 95. And so they just didn't want to hear about it.
So I left that and spent the next two years simply recording down things that I was seeing, trying to refine things that I was seeing. Because one of the early events that I was told to watch for, that would signal the beginning of great changes geologically, was an earthquake in San Francisco. And it said when that would happen then we would see a whole new range of things. We would see volcanic activity in the Philippines. We would see massive changes in Japan (unintelligible) and of course we had Kobe . And then hurricane Andrew, massive hurricanes.
Bell: You hit that one on the noggin by the way. The hurricane season was one of the greatest of all time, this last hurricane season. But more to the point, the last time you did an interview with me, Gordon, do you remember saying "watch Etna and watch Vesuvius"?

Art Bell's GLOBAL SUPERSTORM:
"* "From Europe to Asia to America, whole populations would be desperately attempting to move south ... Heavy seas would devastate the southern coasts of the continent. Typhoons, blowing up suddenly, would smash into the Philippines, Japan and the Pacific islands ... All over North America, massive population movements would be taking place. There would be mass disorganization and many, many people would be overrun by the superstorm." [Ibid., p. 13]"

That is NOT the new Mrs Bell.
She is taller and does not look like Bell's "Airyn" Ruiz.
She is 25, not 21.
Art Bell will wake up in manilla one day missing his gallbladder, liver and kidneys, so fear not:
"Another driving force in the global trade of organs is the explosion of the Internet. Scheper-Hughes describes donors in Brazil who will hire an English "letter writer" to write an advertisement in English for the sale of their organs to be posted on the Internet. One colorful ad offered to sell "any organ of which I have two and the removal of which will not cause my immediate demise." The Internet makes possible personal, global organ transactions. For example, Scheper-Hughes notes that you will often see a buyer in Canada or the United States; a broker in Turkey, a bank account in Italy or Taiwan, and a patient from Nigeria. The operation will take place in South Africa. For example, one Philippines site, "Livers for You" acts as the "Toys Are Us" of the liver trade. They actually offer a money back guarantee that they will find you a liver or kidney for $120,000 US in either a living or dead person. All you have to do is travel to Thailand or the Philippines. Livers for You notes that all their surgeons are trained in the US and they'll put their customers up in a 5 star hotel. LFY asks why wait for a morgue organ for 5 years when you can come on down and get the organ you want right now now, fresh? Certainly the demand is growing: The waiting list shortage for organs is so severe now that in the US as many as 70,000 people are on a waiting list.

ON ART BELL: FLEEING THE U.S.? Selling the ranch and moving on? In the context of what Art Bell has said before, this running to the Philippines thing IS SUSPICIOUS...READ THIS:
"HOME ON THE RANGE
Ever since he was a kid, packing up over and over to follow his military parents to a new assignment, Bell has craved a place like this. His. With no one to tell him what to do, no one to tell him to pick up and move.
Trust, patriotism, respect -- these can all be stripped away. Bell, for one, blames Richard Nixon for creating a nation of cynics, a people who gave up on one reality and went off in search of another. "I've created my stability right here," he says in his trailer, remote control in hand. "This is my little Ozzie and Harriet world in a world that's changing."
He and Ramona, who helps produce "Dreamland" and assists with the torrent of calls, buy nothing on credit, practice their shooting to fend off any intruders (none so far), and care for their cats. "Everything you see around you isn't lavish," Bell says, "but it's paid for."
"I move in and out of these two worlds every day. I need to have one to balance the other. I can do my five hours of the present, pathetic state of the world, and then I need the other hours to have my own world."
In the middle of the night, in a trailer deep in the desert, with Ramona asleep in the other room, Bell sits alone like the rest of us, vulnerable. The desert remembers everything we want to forget, the bombs and experiments, secrets and lies. The listener lies in bed, also wanting to forget. Art Bell helps him to remember things he never knew. "

Any lonely, desperate American man who thinks that American women are manipulative have yet to meet those in the rest of the world.
They act submissive, reel you in and eventually take you for all they can - citizenship, family importation - whatever they want and you can give.
After that, you are of no further use. They find one of their own kind and you are history.
Art Bell didn't help matters by stating: "Murder is such an intriguing thing." (Direct quote from the Art Bell show of August 4, 2001, around 1 am CDT).

More on Art Bell's respect for RAMONA:
from: www.lasvegassun.com
"Some of it's totally BS and fun, some of its true and intriguing."
Of course, it's easier to be nonjudgmental when you've beheld some irrational phenomena yourself, and that's not solely a reference to the framed Playboy photo of a naked Shannen Doherty that hangs in his studio."
