We may not know exactly where Michael Jackson's body is, but we do know at least one place it isn't--Neverland Ranch.

Santa Barbara County communications director William Boyer tells Eonline.com that the Jackson family has not applied for a permit to do anything at Neverland Ranch and has not been in contact with the county for any reason.

"We haven't had any formal contact with the Jackson family or their representatives about any aspect of a burial, funeral, memorial service, nothing regarding Mr. Jackson at Neverland Ranch," Boyer says. "The important thing to note here is there has been no contact with the county about any aspect of this. There's been no formal application, no request, nothing."

Should the family decide the famed grounds be the star's final resting place, the process to bury his remains there would be considerably lengthy and involved.

Kim Brown, spokeswoman for the California Department of Consumer Affairs, tells Eonline.com the Jackson family would first have to obtain a "certificate of authority" from the California Funeral and Cemetery Bureau in order to bury M.J. on private property. This certificate allows a private property to "operate as a cemetery."

So far, "one has not been issued," Brown says. If it were (or when it is), it would be public record.

The mayor of Gary, Ind., says Michael Jackson's father will attend a memorial service for the pop icon in the family's hometown.

Mayor Rudy Clay said yesterday that along with Joe Jackson, the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will also be at the event today at The Steel Yard baseball park in Gary -- a couple of miles from Jackson's boyhood home, the Associated Press reports.

Clay says Gary's memorial will serve as a tribute to the Jackson family's contributions to the music industry.

The Jacksons moved from Gary, 30 miles southeast of Chicago, after the Jackson 5 recorded their first album in 1969. Streams of fans have visited the Jacksons' former home in Gary since the pop star's death last month.

George Clooney has toured the ruins of Italy's recent earthquake and told the survivors he'll shoot a film in their mountain region, according to the Associated Press.

The actor inspected crumbled buildings during a visit on the sidelines of the G-8 summit in L'Aquila. The April 6 quake left thousands homeless and killed nearly 300 people.

Italy is holding the summit there to show solidarity with the victims.

Yesterday, Clooney visited a tent camp for the homeless and kissed four women and shook hands with residents.

The actor said in September he'll shoot part of a film in the area, which could help the local economy. The movie will be a thriller about a killer who tries to hide out in an Italian town.

Actor Bill Murray accompanied Clooney to help draw attention to the quake victims.

Michael Moore's latest documentary now has a title -- and a theme that resonates with recession-weary audiences.

Moore's look at the consequences of big business will be called "Capitalism: A Love Story." The documentary is due in theaters Oct. 2, according to the Associated Press.

Distributor Overture Films said "Capitalism" examines the disastrous effects of corporate profiteering.

"It will be the perfect date movie," Moore said. "It's got it all -- lust, passion, romance and 14,000 jobs being eliminated every day. It's a forbidden love, one that dare not speak its name. Heck, let's just say it: It's capitalism."

Moore got his start with the 1989 big-business documentary "Roger & Me," his portrait of the economic strife caused by General Motors job losses in his hometown of Flint, Mich., and a chronicle of his quest for an audience with GM boss Roger Smith.

The filmmaker scored a $100 million hit with 2004's "Fahrenheit 9/11," which centered on the Bush White House's actions after the Sept. 11 attacks. Moore won an Academy Award for his 2002 gun-control documentary "Bowling for Columbine."

Tracy Letts' new play, "Superior Donuts," has found its Broadway leading man -- Michael McKean.

Producer Jeffrey Richards says the actor will reprise the role of a doughnut shop owner he played in the show's world premiere last summer at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre. The production, directed by Tina Landau, will open Oct. 1 at the Music Box Theatre. Previews begin Sept. 16.

McKean was last seen on Broadway in the 2008 revival of Harold Pinter's "The Homecoming." Among his films are "Best in Show," "A Mighty Wind" and "For Your Consideration."

Letts is the author of the Tony-winning "August: Osage County."
