Five days after her tragic death, friends and family honored the late Farrah Fawcett with a heartfelt Catholic service in LA. “It was absolutely beautiful,” Farrah’s cousin Lisa Fawcett told In Touch after the hour-long memorial ceremony at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels on June 30. The iconic actress’s longtime love, Ryan O’Neal, and their son, Redmond, were joined by Farrah’s close friend Alana Stewart, her Charlie's Angels co-stars Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith, fellow Hollywood pals such as Joan Collins and Cheryl Tiegs, and other loved ones. “It was perfect. It was good to see my Uncle Redmond,” Ryan’s granddaughter Dillan O’Neal told In Touch of Farrah’s troubled son, who was temporarily released from jail rehab to attend the funeral. “I do think she would’ve loved the service. She would have just loved the simplicity of it all,” the blond beauty’s college roommate, Karen Spellings, also told In Touch. After gospel readings and an emotional eulogy by Alana, mourners left the church to celebrate the star’s life with a reception at the nearby Jonathan Club. Farrah, 62, passed away on June 25 after a long battle with cancer.

Demi Moore: Rock Bottom
It could have been a happy night for Demi Moore — a chance to put the most painful and humiliating period of her life behind her, even if just for a few hours. But while Demi had been nominated for a Directors Guild award for co-directing the Lifetime special Five, she spent the January 28 ceremony in hiding as she coped with the fallout from a drug incident that landed her in the hospital five days earlier. “She’s literally hiding in shame over how far she has fallen,” a pal shares.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie On The Rocks?
Could Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. be the next in a long list of celebrity couples heading for divorce? Although their rep denies the story, the duo, who have managed to remain largely out of the spotlight throughout their relationship, raised eyebrows recently when Sarah, 34, walked the Golden Globes red carpet solo — and without her enormous diamond engagement ring.

Tabatha Coffey’s Tough Love
“Look, I know it’s like boot camp when I come in,” says Tabatha Takes Over star Tabatha Coffey with a twinkle in her eye and a smile so broad that fans of her hit show might not even recognize her. The Bravo star admits with a giggle that channeling her inner drill sergeant is often the only way to get the job done.

Seal’s Ex: Don’t Take Him Back
The song that Seal chose for his performance on a recent episode of Ellen — Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” — seemed specifically designed to make his estranged wife, Heidi Klum, reconsider her decision to end their marriage. While Seal may have good reason to endear himself to Heidi — who has legions of fans and pulled in a whopping $20 million last year — former supermodel Tatjana Patitz, 45, maintains that the singer is a selfish, immature man who is prone to frightening rages. “He is not a nice person,” Tatjana, who dated Seal for nearly a year, tells In Touch.
