Prove that $|f(x)|^p\ln|f(x)|$ is a bounded function (with some conditions) I wish to prove that $g(x,p)=|f(x)|^p\ln|f(x)|$ is a bounded function of $(x,p)$, where $0<|f(x)|\leq M$ for all $x$, and $p\in[p_1,p_2]$, where $0<p_1<p_2<\infty$.
$f$ is measurable but not necessary continuous.

My attempt:
Let $(x,p)$ be an arbitrary point. We wish to show $|g(x,p)|\leq K$ where $K$ is independent of $x, p$.
Case 1) Suppose $|f(x)|\geq 1$. Then $0<|f(x)|^p\ln|f(x)|\leq M^{p_2}\ln M$. The bounds are independent of $(x,p)$ so we are done for this case.
Case 2) Suppose $|f(x)|<1$. Then $0<|f(x)|^p\leq M^p\leq M^{p_2}$.
The $\ln|f(x)|$ part is kind of tricky as it is unbounded. However since $t^p\ln t\to 0$ as $t\to 0^+$, $|f(x)|^p\ln|f(x)|$ ought to be bounded. I don't know how to write it rigorously though.
Thanks for any help.

If $t<1$, then 
$$|t^p \ln t| \le |t|^{p_1} |\ln t|.$$ 
Since $|t|^{p_1} |\ln t| \to 0$ as $t\to 0$, $|t|^{p_1} |\ln t|$ can be extended to a continuous function defined on $[0,1]$ and thus is bounded on $[0,1]$. Thus $t^p \ln t$ is also bounded on $[0,1] \times [p_1\times p_2]$. Together with case one you have that $t^p \ln t$ is bounded on $[0,M] \times [p_1,p_2]$.
