Ok, got it. Try the following:

\documentstyle{article}

\makeatletter
\def\thebibliography#1{\protect\section[New Header]{New Header\@mkboth{left page header}{right page header}}
\list{[\arabic{enumi}]}{\settowidth\labelwidth{[#1]}\leftmargin\labelwidth
 \advance\leftmargin\labelsep
 \usecounter{enumi}}
 \def\newblock{\hskip .11em plus .33em minus .07em}
 \sloppy\clubpenalty4000\widowpenalty4000
 \sfcode`\.=1000\relax}
\let\endthebibliography=\endlist
\makeatother

\pagestyle{headings}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\clearpage
\begin{thebibliography}{1}
\bibitem[1]{test1} blub
\bibitem[2]{test2} blub2
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

The \makeatletter and \makeatother allow/disallow the usage of @ in a
macro name. Usually it is not allowed, except in style files. This is
to protect internal macros ... You need it hear because of \@mkboth,
although one probably could get around that.

There is another trick. The optional argument in \section[]{} is
needed for some reason. I tried it without it and it doesn't work.

May be, you should post that (I can't, we have a problem with posting
news here).

Does that solve your problem?

One can also simply create a .sty file with the appropriate changes to
\thebibliography.
