Sting and wife Trudie Styler like to get down and dirty with hits like 'Another One Bites the Dust.'Sting may be a musical pedant in the recording studio, but not on the dance floor. The 59-year-old musician and his wife, Trudie Styler, partied at underground club Bunker in the Meatpacking District Sunday morning "with a crew around 10 deep," says a source. They hit the dance floor for about three hours and dominated the playlist, asking DJ Sal Morale to play "1950s oldies and such Teflon hits as "Play That Funky Music," "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Walk This Way."
Bowling buddies
When did bowling become the thinking hepcat's sport of choice? On Sunday, the "30 Rock" season wrap party rolled into Lucky Strike Lanes, where series creator Tina Fey and Judah Friedlander (who plays Frank), who seems to specialize in retro-Midwestern games of skill, led the way in felled pins. Pregnant Jane Krakowski opted to skip the ball-heaving and chat with Katrina Bowden instead. That same night in Brooklyn, LCD Soundsystem front man James Murphy, his band and "75 of their closest friends" hit Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg to celebrate their final concert (at the Garden that night).
Tagliabue free to play the field
The fact that labor negotiations between the National Football League's players and owners have collapsed isn't a problem anymore for Paul Tagliabue, leaving him free to play the real estate game. A source tells us Tagliabue, who held the league's top job from 1989 to 2006, is selling his six-room penthouse at Park Ave. and E. 71st St. for some $3 million.
Gluckman gets territorial
Michael Gluckman is skilled in the ways of restaurant exorcism. The owner of Boathouse on Three Mile Harbor has high hopes for his new East Hampton restaurant, despite the space's controversial past. Gluckman has taken over what used to be Prime 103, an eatery once run by Ed (Jean Luc) Kleefield, who closed down four Hamptons restaurants in 2009 due to legal troubles, and briefly went to jail for writing bad checks. (The charges were reportedly dropped.)
Perhaps that's why, when a Hamptons resident ran into Gluckman at the Home Depot in nearby Riverhead and asked what he was going to do with the Krud Kleaner he was hefting, the restaurateur replied he planned to use it "to get rid of any traces of Jean Luc."
Open (cube) policy
Elizabeth Spiers is bringing change to The N.Y. Observer ? right down to office furniture. The new editor, who took over in February, plans to get rid of reporters' cubicles. The impending change has some buzzing that she's giving the office a makeover in the mode of Gawker, where she was founding editor. That website's SoHo headquarters features wide-open tables for bloggers. Spiers said in an email that the new look won't be like Gawker "exactly," but will encourage a more communal spirit. She dismissed high cubicles as "fine for monthly magazines."
CC Sabathia is press shy
CC Sabathia was not in a Ruthian mood on Saturday night. A source who was in the house at Lavo on E. 58th St. tells us the Yankee ace kept his head down on his way into the nightclub's dining room, even after the crowd burst into applause.
Our insider says Sabathia didn't seem "too keen" to be the center of attention. His group, with one woman and three men, headed to their table, prompting some diners to shout "Hell yeah!" and attempt to high-five the hurler. His shyness continued during dinner as he avoided eye contact with the rest of the room while his table downed two bottles of Opus One red wine, pizza, pasta carbonara and Kobe meatballs. Sabathia wasn't bashful about tipping his server: He left $1,000, well over 20%.
Also in the house that evening was New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who was having drinks with his wife.
