By expanding both log (n!) and n log n

    log (n!) = log n + log (n-1) + ...... + log 2 + log 1            , n
terms here

    n log n = log n + log n      + ...... + log n + log n            , and n
terms here

    n log n    *>*    log (n!)                , n > 1

    n log n    =    log (n!)                , n == 1

    so as said in the mail above    log (n!)  =  O( n log n )

Correct me if I am wrong.
