I haven't solved it yet.

The is a definite integral, which has a numerical value, so in that sense, yes it is possible to express it in closed form, albeit depending on what you mean by closed form. – pshmath0 Nov 10 '13 at 09:28

Notice that the integrand is undefined at $x=0$ and $x=1$ or at any $x$ between $0$ and $1$. – daulomb Nov 10 '13 at 09:54

$$\ln(1-x)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{x^n}n$$ – Lucian Nov 10 '13 at 10:50

You can find my solution here.
My argument here is greatly simplified by the use of complex analysis, thanks to the user Random Variable. So you may also want to check it, too.

1As a matter of fact, I've already seen a solution of true wonders. I've posted the question after several failures of trying to solve it in my own way. Thanks for your reply though. – ZeroPepsi Nov 11 '13 at 07:16

Wow. That is magnificent. Absolute masterpiece. Agree 100% with the people who suggest publishing. I've seen many, many papers in high ranking journals with far lesser quality. – Bennett Gardiner Nov 11 '13 at 07:50
