All Art Bell, All Romance, All the Time
I'm surprised the mainstream media has no interest in the love life of radio host Art Bell, which has become a lot more interesting than you'd expect of a 60-year-old man. In the last three days, more than 3,000 people have hit Workbench from search engines looking for information on Bell and wife, posting more than 480 comments.
I covered the news because people were showing up here Sunday looking for it, thanks to this blog's top placement in Google for the term Art Bell's wife.
There's something deeply wrong about letting incoming traffic dictate the topics you cover, but I enjoy the idea of feeding the news jones of the world about any random subject that brings them here in great number.
I can't find a link to back it up, but I read about a newspaper in Mexico that makes editorial decisions based on the hit counts of stories when they go online. The most-read stories go on the front page and reporters receive bonuses based on traffic. The end result is a paper that favors attention-grabbing fluff and tabloid-style sensation over real news, which naturally caused subscriptions to skyrocket along with profits.
I've attached the audio of Bell telling his Coast to Coast listeners about his marriage Saturday night, which is every bit as weird as people are making it sound:
Airyn and I began having two- or three-hour videoconferences virtually every day. This is pretty personal stuff. In fact, after you have talked to someone for two or three hours and seen their picture in a videoconference, which can be done across the world, every single day, you get to know more about them than I think the average couple -- which usually jumps in bed with each other and then tries to find out about the other person afterwards -- will ever know. Still, you know, I still had not physically met Airyn but I was quickly falling in love. There's simply no question about it.
Comments
Have you noticed that Art is now focusing on how everyone must trust the government and approve of the new spying measures aimed at US citizens, all the while he ran off to another country? He had an expert who laid out the new NSA protocols to datamine and record phonecalls, and Art just dumped on him. Why the government is hunting terrorists! Art the former libertarian is now Art the blind republican. But what could have brought on this fear spawned transformation?
The reason of course Art is so pro government clampdown is because Art is paranoid about that Philipines letter that has resurfaced. You know, the one that states his supposed hatred for Filipinos. Each show has Art's plea to forgive and forget the letter in the first 2 minutes. Art said he didn't do it, that the FBI is looking into the matter (and therefore not hunting the terrorists). He says he can't give much info about where he is because of daily death threats, but he tells everyone that he walks to a local Pancake House before every show. He posts pictures of his building and his neigborhood. I guess the murderous stalkers aren't fans of the show. I think he is still trying to deflect public scorn and questions about his latest transition and recent behaviour. Someone must have struck a nerve.
Art is getting old and wierd. It's time he retired again and came out to do the odd special from time to time. He has no love for the show, he pontificates about the county he abandoned and chastises guests and callers for doubting the government's ability to track the bad guys who are all out to get us (and presumably Art who is walled in his 19th floor condo). Too bad Art didn't have a tracking device implanted a few months back, then the cops could have backtracked and traced his whereabouts when Ramona died. But back then Art was an American libertarian, now he's an American on the lamb.
Now Airyn is pregnant. We will have to listen, ad nauseum, to the old geezer brag about his prowess (September 13 - he/she is "made in China").
Then he talks and talks about the pregnancy test, as though there are no pregnancy tests outside the Philippines.
Oops, he had to take her to the hospital for a small problem, but she is "taking it easy now." Art seemed to be more concerned with impressing on his followers "what date could it be?", just to drive home the point he is getting some action.
He brags about how he is going to be a daddy. Art, honey, you already are a daddy, or did you forget Art III. You never mention him any more.
She'll have non-stop diapers from now on. First the kids, then the dad's
Jimeny crickets! Give Art a break already will ya? I lost my finance to a seizure when I was 28. It hurt like hell for the next 10 years and I DID love her dearly. However, that did not stop me from going on dates almost every weekend soon afterwards. It took my mind off the pain.
You know what soothes severe pain? A pretty girl! Should he have married her? It's his life, who cares!
I do have to say that I was torked by the way he treated his guest Roger Tolces last week myself, it was pretty bad. I had to turn it off. Had I been the guest I would have walked off.
I'm chalking it all up to the pain from losing Ramona. I have listened to Art since 94 and that is saying something, both about the man's talent and humanity. He deserves the benefit of the doubt, besides, no one is perfect. I hope he finds happiness.
Art's becoming a daddy! He never talks about his son, interesting. By the time his kid is twenty-one he'll be an eighty-two year old geezer if lung cancer doesn't do him in beforehand. Things are different in the Phillipines not only does his child bride now owns him, so does the rest of her family. Enjoy the ride Art!
OH Sick! Art bell is sooo old and grody. He smells like provolone cheese.
Maybe Coast to Coast should do a program on this topic?
I'd like to hear Art Bell 'splaining to George Noory how this one went down, without sounding like a "kook".
ahaha good luck art bell! HAHAHAHA
i dona no what da big deel is bout fart smell, ah mean arte belle, so he maybe pillow head da furst wifey and find a new pussy cat to play wid, who cares. a good pussy cat is worth da riske of what he done,
I believe it's human nature to think that Art's falling in love shortly after Ramona died is wrong. If he's happy with his new love then he shouldn't let mourning stand in the way. It's better to get through the mourning process as fast as possible, carry on with your life and remember the good times.
I personally think that Art Bell is an asshole in disguise. He has no morals or feelings of any sort, the only person Art Bell loves is Art Bell. I have listened to his bullshit for several years now on the air and on amateur radio and I have never run across such horseshit in all my life as Art Bell. He moved to Manilla huh? Good riddence to the loser!
" Get off it already! My god people. Both of them are adults. All you goody two shoes out there shove it up your back side. Love is something that happens unexpectedly and regardless of your silly attempts to controll fate we are all just pawns! Sheep following blindly to the wolfs den. when someone takes life in there own hands everyone else sits back and nit picks with jealousy GET OVER IT AN CHANGE YOUR OWN LIFE. Quit worrying about everyone else. DEATH TO THE HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!"
Disgusted Art Bell non-fan, I don't think there is any "in disguise" about it.
that old fart making a baby? HOPEFULLY HIS BTYCH WIFE HAS INSURANCE ON HIS OLD ASS. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
wwwwwwwwwwww
I am so sure we will get to hear about this pregnant bytch for the next 6 friggin months. DISGUSTING. No more C2C for me on weekends. I think the King of Conspiracy did his own lil conspiracy on Ramona.
Art may just be a weak man who feels intolerably lonely in the world and is in desperate need of company, whatever the age or race.
Lets not judge the man, he has commited no crimes we are aware of.
Art Bell is back in the KINGDOM OF NYE! Oh geesh! That's what he announced earlier this a.m. Pregnant child-bride and pussycats in tow. Wonder how the 3rd asian Mrs. Bell will enjoy life in the desert of Nevada? LOL!
I thought I heard him say that it took to a year to a year and a half get "this" wife processed into the U.S. Gheeee, I didn't think Ramona had been deceased that long.
I woke up in the middle of the night and turned on Coast to Coast hoping against hope that Art Bell was not on. The first word out of his mouth was "Erin". Disappointment immediately set in when he started going on and on and on about the fascinating topic of her amazement and love of the American baked potato. zzzzzzzzzzzz Btw when did he get call screeners?
i clicked on th webcam and wanted to puke...
at first, second and third glance the picture looks like a sweet fostergranddaughter to an old, pathetic, brown-shoe-polish-haired old fogeyman...
it's just creepy, plain creepy.
And a happy happy new year to you and I love American baked potato and we make them tonight for dinner and so thank you and happy happy new year to you......GUESS HER EDUCATION WASN'T A DECIDING FACTOR IN THE MARRIAGE, EH?
.....maybe she was just fascinated by the sound of her own voice?
Ariyn is 4ft./8in. Art is way over 6ft. But then love has a way of filling in all the gaps quite nicely.
Are those Filipinas really that desperate for a man?
Wish there was a way to get sugardaddy taken off the radio ,
Has it ever occurred to anyone here, that Mr. Bell may be part of a globalist plan to create one world government? By so publically presenting his Asian child-wife to the world at a time when the powers are promoting/pushing integration between Asia and North America, Mr. Bell kind of helps break down divisions between borders. And for all his fans who like to copy-cat, this makes a lot of them want to run out and marry Asians. Anyone ever thought Mr. Bell may have a pivotal role in all this globalization? Everything he's doing seems to be promoting this. It is also entirely possible that Ramona is still alive.
hmmmm... i had a paragraph and a half long bit of screed against art and his revolting personal life and it's disappeared right off the board... wonder why?
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks that Art has gone (more) nuts.
Art bell is smarter than 99% of all you people posting on this site.
i never said that the man wasn't smart - but being smart doesn't have anything to do with being a megalomaniacal narcissistic pedophile who makes me feel queasy and itchy because he can't stop puking up his personal life all over coast...
i'm sure he's brilliant - nobody is arguing that fact...
keep up, steve... you're showing your ignorance...
And a happy happy new year to you and I love American baked potato and we make them tonight for dinner and so thank you and happy happy new year to you!
I always had great respect for Art Bell, but he lost that pretty fast when I heard about his new wife...which he married just a few weeks after his wife's mysterious death... I'm all for moving on, but give me a break. A few weeks??
Oh my God! Bless her heart. The man has an ego and an attitude. What more can be said?
Well, I for one was not surprised to hear that old Art and his new bride are in the U.S. Duh! Doesn't everyone know that every single Filipino is born with one goal in life: to immigrate to the U.S. Filipino women will marry anybody they can get their hooks on in order to come to this country. Just wait, in a few months, you'll hear about how Aryn has brought her mother, siblings, and who knows who else to live in the states. That was a no-brainer so when Art said he was going to live indefinitely in his adopted country, I figured it would just be a matter of months before he came back, dragging his child bride with him. I got to hand it to her, though, she must have a steel stomach to wake up to his face every morning. Ugh! I don't listen to his diatribe anymore. And George Noori is no better. He has turned the show into a boring nightly waste of time talking about politics, healthcare, and other mundane topics. The only reason I tuned in in the first place was because of the ghost stories, shadow people, dopplegangers, ufos, etc. Those are few and far between. Well, so long for now. Would love to read your responses.
I notice everytime someone puts negitave things about mr bell they take it down..no freedom to express your self
i'm glad somebody else notices this...
it's bullshit
I notice everytime someone puts negitave things about mr bell they take it down..no freedom to express your self
I'm not interested in hosting anonymous or pseudonymous comments accusing Art Bell of crimes.
The clock is ticking Art until you are a daddy. The clock is ticking on your marriage to your child bride. When she gives birth, that's when the fun is going to really start. Enjoy whatever money you have while you still have it. It'll be gone before you know it!
Oh Art's in trouble and he doesn't even know it. Too sad.
I was a long time listener of C2C, starting back in around '93 or so when all he did was news and current events and Dreamland only on Sunday's. I always enjoyed him, but stopped listening when Striber and Sigel took over (the content was boring, and there were WAY too many commercials).
That being said, I haven't listened or thought of the show much since.
I was sad to hear that Ramona passed, and was even sadder to find out he married an asian child bride. My ex-husband did the same and paid dearly for it.
He was having a "video/IM relationship" with a Thai girl, roughly 21 years old and when I found out I threw him out and divorced him (we were married 14 years--he was 40 years old). The divorce took 90 days to complete and he was married to the Thai babe no more than 7 days after that--in Thailand (like Art, they'd never actually met). Now, 5 years later, he's raising their 3 children (which he didn't want) and 4 days after she got her citizenship she divorced him and moved to the opposite coast with money she'd syphoned off to an account he didn't know about. Which is ironic, because he did the same thing to me to save the money to go to Thailand and collect her, and he wonders where she got this idea.
Technically, Art's marriage to this woman in Manilla isn't legal in the US until they come back to the US and get a weddng certificate and have it notarized by a judge or other licenced clergy. So technically, this wedding isn't legal unless they've gone through the proper paperwork in the US. (they would have had I believe 90 days after entering the US together to complete this paper work)
As a big fan of Art Bell I must say he is a wonderful radio dude with awesome, crazy, interesting programing that is truly one of a kind. I don't however find his love life fabulously interesting. The dude wants to hook up with a cute young chick, who cares? Let him be emarassed by his baloney tits.
Poor Art Bell, his wrinkle is not wrinkled anymore cause he's so old but he still wants a woman?!
Nothing Art Bell suprises me anymore. What suprises me is that people still believe the garbage that his cronies spew. Coast to Coast may have bought him a Camaro or something of the like, but he is still a lowlife.
Hello everyone,
First this:

Then, this:
www.behold-the-rage.com
I have been in the media and on radio many times over the years, but watching this true sociopath in action was a crowning glory in verifying he was bought by his parent radio company at 'Psychos-R-Us'.
Incredible lifeform and hard to imagine he is part of the same DNA as the rest of us. Art, 'anal' probe that from all those aliens.
Hail, NASA.

Oh, and yes, for all those that suspect that sites are being shut down, he does this and has for about 10 years now. Before he sued me for $60,000,000 he had 5 of my sites taken down till I had the FBI put a stop to HIM. He was a little pouty at me for defending NASA and showing that his favorite guest, Richard Hoagland, was a pathological liar. Told him so on air, verbatim, while I was on. He went 'psycho' as ever, and the rest was a nightmare. But, the goal of getting him off air and out of the country did work.
Now, he is back for a time.

I think Art Bell is a lot smarter than people think. He is a multi millionaire with a smokin HOTT wife!!! I wish I could be so lucky!
I believe he truely loved his deceased wife and that her death was from natural causes. Otherwise Law Enforecement would have gotten involved.
As far as the age difference in him and the new wife. I say Go for IT! I think alot of people are simply jealous! I also believe that a middle aged woman has every right to marry a young man. As long as its legal, and Arts wife IS an adult!
ROck On Art.
I hate to think this way, but I can't help but to be suspicious about the way that Ramona died. I don't think I would have suspected foul play if it weren't for the fact that Art ran off and married so soon after her death. I too, was shocked and appalled by Art's declaration of true love over the airwaves so soon after his wife died! It just looks bad! I have tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but my gut feeling is that something is terribly wrong with Art! I don't think it is right to accuse him of any crime, (without proof) but he certainly made himself LOOK guilty by his actions!
I don't blame Airyn for latching onto the old coot! She did it for herself and her family! Art is her ticket out of poverty! She is young, probably uneducated, and she knows that she will be set for life! I can imagine I would have done the same thing If I were in her shoes, no matter how old and gross the guy is!
But it's Art's behavior that I don't get! Personally, I would not be able to stand being married to someone that much younger than myself! I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to try and have an intelligent conversation with someone that young and uneducated! The generation gap is so huge that you would be hard pressed to find something you have in common to talk about at all! I know that he married her for the sex, dah, but he's got to talk to her sometime! They can't have sex ALL the time! When the sex wears off Art will be bored and lonely again.
So she has her meal ticket and he has a trophy wife to lust after. Irregardless of the opinions expressed on this forum, Art is educated and worldly. The only thing they have in common is the baby they made together! For the kid's sake, I hope it will be enough!
NEWSFLASH!!! Art's now a daddy! His mail order bride just gave birth. If Art is a multi millionaire he won't be for long. She now has him by the.....
The best couple of hours in radio each week, so get over it !
"Art's now a daddy!"
Congrats. Good thing his mail order bride has so much practise already changing Arts diapers. Changing the baby's diapers will be much easier than Arts and prolly not as smelly.
Be Well.
Hey wonder how art would feel if some 60 year old married his daugther when she is 20 years old ,wouldnt that be neat,lol
Art Bell is a Great American and is not afraid to question things. This makes him a flake? I think not.
He's doing it again! "Leaving" his weekend stint on Coast...declined
to give details of why[always tries to be mysterious even in departure],
but it is 'for his family'. Probably figures he'd better spend his money
while he can since he's undoubtedly not quit smoking.
One thing I won't miss is his editorializing on his right-wing
allegiance to 'the war on terror'. Anytime a guest says anything
contrary to his opinion, he won't hesitate to quickly 'correct'
the guest's statement, God forbid we should be left with the
'wrong' idea.
His late wife Ramona was a moderating influence on him I think;
his new wife is likely the stereotype of the subservient Asian
spouse, and knows nothing of US politics. He's finally got his
geisha, Filipino-style.
Spud always wondered how you avoided these pimpbot programmes.
Spud's never actually seen one hereabouts.
"Upgrades"?
Be Well.
You are all a bunch of psychopaths who have nothing better to do with your time than attack someone you don't even know, and then make jokes about his personal tragedies. Listening to someone on the radio does not give you any insight into their personal lives, you bunch of #@$holes.
I have an uncle who is 70 years old, who lost his wife to cancer after 5 years of battle, and he remarried in just three months. It wasn't a young girl, it was a woman close to his age. But it as very soon after his lost his wife. Some people are very insecure and get lonely, need companionship. Art's marriage is none of your %$*(@# business, any of you, stupid #*@#heads.
I hope Art does sue the crap out of this web site for allowing this garbage to remain. It should all be taken down because it's just a bunch of worthless filth wasting web space.
What if he really has no legal recourse on what people say over the internet, and the only way to get the speculation to die is to get off the air for awhile?
I don't know. It just bothered me so when Art supposedly fell in love, only months after Ramona died, then went off and got married like a silly kid. I mean, how well can you know someone after only a couple of months? But I guess many think it's OK, like, off with the old and on with the new!
I was a strong Art Bell fan, but then after Ramona died, was very ashamed of it when Art acted like he did. Now, with the news of the two children he never "Shared" with us, I feel he is a low life.
I say "shared", because when he told his audience about his "New" love Aryin, he said he had always been honest with us. Well, it's clear now that Art is a liar, or he would have shared his first two children with us as well. And from the article I read on the Internet, Art had been contacted by his 38 year old daughter Lisa, TEN YEARS AGO. So Art has kept this information tightly under wraps for ten long years. Talk about deceptive! If that is being honest with us, I'll eat my hat!
If you have never heard of these two kids he abandoned, just look on the internet for the name Vincent Pontius. But beware, it's a really sad story. Art should be hung for allowing these kids to go through what they did, by walking away from them and never even enquiring if they were dead or alive.
Some have tried to say that Art is just a guy who made mistakes, and everyone should understand and not judge him.
I'm sorry.......not all of us have made mistakes as parents, of this nature. Not even close!
But then of course, you have to BE THERE to make mistakes. Walking away from your kids and thinking they are better off without you, is just a lame excuse. I'm a parent, and there is no way I could just walk away from my kids forever. NO FREAKING WAY!
Art's heart is obviously in his Dick!
I think it is a real reflection of where Art Bell's head is at when he shared with C2C listeners the story of his latest child's birth.
{The mother Airyn Ruiz, who in early 2006 Art said was a "26 year old teacher" is now listed on all web correspondence as NOW being 21, so that that she was well under 20 when Art married and impregnated her.}
Airyn started having contractions so what does Art do? He jumps in the shower with her! heh heh heh, with that stupid sick dirty old man giggle of his.
Children to Bell are an impediment and potential competitors for his woman's attentions.
ART BELL MAKES ME PUKE
Well, for all who really detest Art Bell, and would like to NEVER hear him on C2C again, I hope you will take a few minutes to write to the producers of that show and tell them what you think.
Then, if he comes back to do a show, turn the damned radio off!
I doubt very much we have heard the last of him and as far as I'm concerned, him doing one more show is too much. Might as well toss that show down the toilet, for all that it's worth.
For those who defend Art and say it's none of our business what he does in his personal life......I would have loved NOT TO HEAR all about his personal life!!!!!!
But Mr. Bell insisted we all know what he was doing and went into details, (which many of us really did NOT care to know), when ever he talked about his personal life. What the F#&K!!!!! Just how does one STAY out of someone's personal life when that person shoves it down our throats!
I thought it was funny when after writing two books on how we were all doomed to see the end of the earth, "The Quickening" and "The Coming Global Super Storm", Art got an e-mail from somebody telling him he should be ashamed to bring a baby into a world which was about to end.
Funny, Art has been saying we are all on the way out, because of the way things are in the world, then, turns around and is so positive and happy when he hears he was to be a father.
What the &%#*????
I really don't think Art knows if he is coming or going. But my hope is, he is going and will stay gone. What a nut case!!!
" Tell the producers not to hire Art Bell back"
For one, he made the show, it was his making, no one elses. producers have nothing to say about it.
All of you posting these booklong manifestos have way too much time on your hands.
I definitely missed the memos. Boy, did i miss the memos!! Whoah!!!
I think Art takes the C2C program as entertainment, and not even half seriously. How could a person live with such bs and paranoia as comes on that progam? The good thing about it, the thing I like, is that you will hear things that you never will on 'straight' media, and some things filter through that are embarrasing to the various establishments and powerful pressure groups in this land.
I also think a person's private life should probably remain as such. A person's competance in his field does not always relate to competance in his personal life.
The problem of Art is that he kept mentioning Ramona and segments of his personal life, so that kind of opened the door for query and commentary by the rest of us.
I think Clinton was a pretty darned good President, but not an exceptional spouse. I think Art is good at what he does professionally, but perhaps has sacrificed personal and emotional development in his pursuit of his career.
What scares me are the probabilities. The probability that Ramona died in the next room while he lay sleeping, knowing that she was not well. THe probability that he just met that young girl so soon afterwards, and this first relationship after Ramona's death so quickly lead to marriage. The coincidence that Art would often, daily on his show, mention his beloved Ramona but for the months preceding her strange and sudden death, during which there was no mention of her at all on his show. I wondered at the time if she were ill and he was being heroic, stoic, about it. Or, perhaps they were no longer getting on so well. Why the silence right before her 'sudden' demise?
These things open the door to some scary speculation, but then again, it is easy to speculate about someone who I have never met, whose reality is akin, to me, as a character on South Park.
I am also wondering - if I had a show with some bona fide psychics on and had done something dastardly, perhaps I would find it wise to cut and run, too?
All I can say is, God bless you, Ramona, and I hope you are at peace on the other side, and that Art's new wife does not also meet your fate.
Art Bell retired to be with his new wife and baby but the other night, Jan. 4, 2008, he was talking as though his retirement wasn't permanent. The exact quote is on the Downtown Eastside Enquirer downtowneastsideenquirer.blogs

Art Bell just thought "Barry" Obama was going to be the next JFK. Good luck all you coast to coast saps.
All the aliens are playing with Art's head. They have abducted his penis and implanted in a 21 year old. Good Job aliens
I was a late fan of listening to Coast-to-Coast, with Art Bell, in 2007 - I thought Art was a great talk show host. I was very sad for him when he lost his spouse, Ramona. He appeared very sad and hurt by Ramon's death. He was so hurt about her death, I though he (Art) was going to commit suiside himself. Then like a story tale, he was in love with someome else within a few months. My though was, how could he have found someone to replace Ramona so soon. Maybe he needed a cruch. He sound like someone who lost his mind. But anyway, I wish Art Luck. I could write a book about his fairy tale life.
