• ... One of the first cases related to the federal indictment of jailed PI-to-the-stars Anthony Pellicano will go before a jury Tuesday. In a trial memorandum obtained by Radar, federal prosecutors make their case that the P.I. recruited SBC telephone employees to help him tap the phones of Sylvester Stallone, billionaire Kirk Kerkorian's ex-wife, Lisa Bonder, actor Keith Carradine, and journalist Anita Busch.

Last February, the feds indicted Joann Wiggan, a veteran SBC employee, for allegedly committing perjury in her testimony to the grand jury about her contact with SBC field technician Rayford Turner, who stands accused of helping Pellicano place the taps. She claimed they barely knew each other, but the hundred plus messages he left on her voicemail seem to suggest otherwise.

• ... Oddball downtown art dealer Jeffrey Deitch is suing the owner of the property next door to his Deitch Projects showroom at 76 Grand Street in New York for $80,000. The hard-partying gallerist claims 72 Grand Partners's construction activity on September 8, 2004 caused his ceilings and walls to crack, and he wants the firm to pick up the tab. "It's damage to property, not to artworks," assures Deitch lawyer Paul Tumbelson, who brought the case in front of New York Supreme Court Monday. The landlord's office declined comment.

• ... Michael Jackson's lawyer, Mark Geragos, has a dirty dick on his payroll. The in-demand attorney's chief private eye will face a preliminary hearing Wednesday on charges he tried to bribe a rape victim not to testify at trial. Bradley Gregory Miller, who worked for Geragos when the attorney was defending Jackson on child molestation charges in 2004, is accused of conspiring with the owner of a real estate firm to pay the victim money in exchange for refusing to testify against the man's son. "Martha E" was set up in a series of posh Las Vegas hotels, where her lodging, food, and expenses were paid for, and was promised she would be taken care of for the rest of her life if she kept her mouth shut, according to the complaint. Miller, who was arrested in June, is out on $1 million bail.
