Couri Hay knows how to get a name, even his own, into a column.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"css-w71pwo emamhsk2\">\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cThe R stands for ruthless,\u201d he said. He pointed to a cottage in the backyard of his West 81st Street townhouse and recounted the time he locked Andy Warhol inside until the press arrived to interview him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">A member of his staff walked up from the office downstairs and handed Mr. Hay a news release to look over. Mr. Hay directed the aide to offer the banal item to one particular columnist, paired with a sexier morsel of celebrity bickering, which he said might help the first item\u2019s chances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cThis is the way it works,\u201d said Mr. Hay, 65, a former gossip columnist who has never stopped trading in the stuff. \u201cIf I happen to have the lowdown on what Beyonc\u00e9 did in the elevator with Jay Z, it might get me a mention of the philanthropy event I need press for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">Mr. Hay learned from \u201cthe great spinmeisters of the world,\u201d he said, including\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1987\/01\/17\/obituaries\/earl-wilson-dies-at-age-79-chronicler-of-show-business.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Earl Wilson,<\/a>\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.harpersbazaar.com\/culture\/features\/aileen-mehle-original-gossip-girl-0612#slide-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aileen Mehle<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/01\/29\/arts\/29brady.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Winston Brady<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-w71pwo emamhsk2\">\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">Once, he saw John Gotti and Imelda Marcos, dining separately, at a restaurant he was trying to get press for. He had a photographer shoot the two together. \u201cThe headline was: \u2018Two Mob Bosses,\u2019\u00a0\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cI know what the story is, and when there is no story, I create it,\u201d Mr. Hay said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">When a Southampton club he was representing tried to introduce a gay night but drew few revelers, Mr. Hay called the local authorities, who promptly arrived and shut down the bar for its lack of proper permits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cIt wasn\u2019t catching fire,\u201d he said of the club. \u201cThey raided the place and that was the story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cI\u2019ll go to incredible lengths to create news where there is none,\u201d he said, adding that while he will not lie for a client, \u201cI may use the part of the truth that will serve my purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">Bolstering his \u201cruthless\u201d claim, he recounted how he had been skiing with\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"Times coverage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1998\/01\/01\/us\/son-of-robert-kennedy-dies-in-colorado-skiing-accident.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Kennedy when he died<\/a>\u00a0on the slopes of Aspen in 1997. Mr. Hay said he quickly called his go-to columnists with the \u201cworldwide scoop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">Mr. Hay was born and raised in Portland, Me., and enjoyed a privileged upbringing, he said. He had an early penchant for gossip and mischief and parties, preferably all at once, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-w71pwo emamhsk2\">\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cI always got an A for leadership,\u201d he recalled. \u201cBut they said I always led everyone the wrong way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">Although his \u201cwhole family went to Bowdoin,\u201d he attended American University. He left early to move to New York and write a column for Interview magazine in the early 1970s, he said. He began writing gossip for The Star, a tabloid at the time, and then for The National Enquirer, where he said he indulged in checkbook journalism and \u201cpicked up a nose for news and gossip.\u201d He went on to appear as a celebrity news commentator on television.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">As an investor in popular nightclubs in the 1980s, Mr. Hay became adept at getting press coverage, so he expanded into a larger press operation that benefited from his familiarity with night life and blue-blood figures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">Mr. Hay said that \u201cafter decades of sowing my wild oats,\u201d he had settled into a stable relationship, with a 35-year-old man who came to one of his notoriously wild house parties. The man divorced his wife and moved in with Mr. Hay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cHe came to my Halloween party dressed as Tarzan, and we\u2019ve been swinging ever since,\u201d Mr. Hay said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">Mr. Hay still goes out nearly every evening and may hit up to five parties a night. He also keeps a hand in by writing society columns and representing luxury products, for which he accepts payment in Champagne, caviar, jewelry and, until recent years, furs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">He often stages evening events that bring together many of his clients, be they celebrities, nightclubs, charities or products, and then invites press coverage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"story-ad-3-slug\" class=\"ResponsiveAd-adSlug--3H3QM\">\n<p>One such event was a reception on Monday night at the National Arts Club in Manhattan, for an exhibition of Mr. Hay\u2019s own collection of erotic drawings by the designer Charles James.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-w71pwo emamhsk2\">\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cHi darling, hello darling,\u201d Mr. Hay called to various guests from the middle of a cluster of boldface-named guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">When the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein arrived, Mr. Hay drew him out in front of the crowd, morphing back into a gossip columnist and asking him loudly, \u201cWhat are you doing? I want to know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">Then the heiress Anne Hearst and her husband, the writer Jay McInerney, said hello.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1cy1v93 e2kc3sl0\">\u201cHe\u2019s the manic man about town,\u201d Mr. McInerney said of Mr. Hay. \u201cHe\u2019s irrepressible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-of-article\">\n<p>Email: character@nytimes.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Particulars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Name<\/strong>\u00a0R.
