The life of "Charlie's Angels" star Farrah Fawcett was celebrated yesterday at a private funeral in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.

Her longtime companion, Ryan O'Neal, was among the pallbearers who accompanied the casket, covered in yellow and orange flowers, into the Catholic cathedral.

Fawcett's friend Alana Stewart and "Charlie's Angels" co-star Kate Jackson were among early arrivals before the hearse pulled up, escorted by 10 motorcycle officers. The service, which was closed to the public, lasted more than an hour as fans and news media watched from across a street.

Fawcett died Thursday at age 62 after a public battle with cancer. O'Neal and Stewart were at her side.

MONTE CARLO KEEPS THE MAGIC GOING

Magician Lance Burton and the Monte Carlo hotel-casino said yesterday they have reached a deal to keep him as the Las Vegas resort's headliner through 2015.

The 49-year-old illusionist says he plans to return to the stage next week after breaking his right foot during a show in May. Burton says he is still wearing a large boot but hopes he can switch to a tennis shoe soon.

Burton began his Las Vegas career 27 years ago with an eight-week trial engagement at "Folies Bergere," which turned into a nine-year run.

CLOONEY TEAMING UP WITH SONY PICTURES

George Clooney has lined up a new home for his production company.

Smoke House Pictures, run by Clooney and producing partner Grant Heslov, is in final negotiations on a two-year development and production deal with Sony Pictures, a studio executive said yesterday.

For many years, Clooney has been set up at Warner Bros., first with his Section Eight partnership with Steven Soderbergh and later with Smoke House. Clooney said he felt like "part of a family" at Warner.

"I'm leaving a terrific company and a lot of dear friends. They're a class act," said Clooney, 48, who also called Sony a "perfect match" for Smoke House. "Grant Heslov and I hope to deliver the kind of films that will make them proud."

AND NOW MEDIA HAS LOST THE VIBE

Vibe, a popular hip-hop and urban culture magazine founded by famed music producer Quincy Jones, is shutting down.

Vibe Media Group chief financial officer Angela Zucconi said most of the company's 50 or so employees will be laid off.

The closing comes amid a media-wide decline in ad revenue that has left many magazines struggling. Among recent casualties have been Portfolio, Conde Nast's high-end business monthly, the style and home decorating magazine Domino, and music magazine Blender.

Founded in 1993, Vibe had a paid circulation of roughly 800,000 during the last six months of 2008. The magazine was acquired by The Wicks Group, a New York private equity firm, in 2006.
