1. Bleecker Bob's is closing soon and one of the store's employees told the New York Post some funny stories about the store's celebrity customers like Lou Reed, Bruce Willis, Keith Richards, David Bowie and this one about Rick Rubin: "One time Rick Rubin came in and gave me a Def Jam jacket, but it had someone's name on it -- something like 'Greg.' He said the manufacturer printed the wrong name on it so he decided to give it to me instead."

3. Steve Rubell's private collection of memorabilia from his nightclub, Studio 54, will be auctioned in Florida on January 19. There are tons of celebrity photos, drink tickets, invitations and several copies of a two-album disco compilation called "A Night At Studio 54" that's estimated to sell (in a bundle with five other LPs) for $200 - $300. Go here to see the entire list of items and/or to make a bid online, but don't be surprised if prices end up a lot higher than the estimates.
