A notice of settlement has been filed in ART BELL and his wife AIRYN RUIZ BELL's defamation lawsuit against syndicated talker MICHAEL SAVAGE, WESTWOOD ONE, and CUMULUS for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress.
The notice was filed on FEBRUARY 27th and approved by Judge JEFFREY S. WHITE last THURSDAY (3/2) in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of CALIFORNIA, with no details revealed. The order also vacates a scheduled hearing date of APRIL 28th and a case management conference date of MARCH 10th, giving the parties time to finalize the settlement.
The BELLS sued SAVAGE and his syndicators for a comment that the BELLS allege referred to the BELLS in saying, "You say UFOs, you wind up in the PHILIPPINES with a 10-year-old hooker and you are off the radio after a number of years. You can’t do UFOs. That’s an in-joke, by the way, for people who understand the business."

Settlement Reached In Art And Airyn Bell's Defamation Suit Against Michael Savage
A mind should not be so open that the brains fall out; however, it should not be so closed that whatever gray matter which does reside may not be reached. ART BELL

There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles and piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave. And keep on thinking free. (Moody Blues)
Just Do It
I think what he's saying is Art got himself a young Filipino hottie to boink - but only 'cause it's not physically possible to have sex with a UFO, which is certainly true -kbot wrote:OK - kinda dense..... what's the joke?Riddick wrote: You can’t do UFOs.

OTOH, a little thing like physical incompatibility doesn't stop some folks from attempting intimacy with just about anything under the sun...

No doubt Savage can get "improper" . But it seems Art, has the art of suing for libel down to art form?

Hello, I Must Be Going
It's an Art Form, for sure. Just like his returns to and departures from radio, it's routine. What's funny is his defamation case against Savage stated Art getting back behind the mic was still a possibility?! Yeah, we've heard it all before, Art. Hello! Goodbye!

Savage's comment was still out of bounds.
A Suit With Two Pairs Of Pants
Well, that's the thing right there isn't it? Art may come off as lawsuit happy YET AT the same time, he's not one to file frivolously. Settling out of court would seem to me Savage et al were willing to make a deal to avoid a likely guilty verdict, which could have easily come at a far greater cost.fos wrote:Savage's comment was still out of bounds.
On the flip side, especially with another Baby Bell on the way? I could see Art & Airyn deciding digging their heels in wasn't worth all the time and trouble, despite more than decent odds of a fatter court award in their favor.
Of course, speculation is all we can engage in as in all likelihood the details of the ironing out will never become public - unless, I suppose, the CIA gets involved followed in time by an eventual and inevitable Wikileak document dump.
