Tarantino Sues Exotic Birds Are Driving Me INSANE
Quentin Tarantino is going to WAR with his famous neighbor -- claiming the guy owns a ton of exotic birds that constantly emit "blood-curdling screams" ... and it's affecting Q's ability to write scripts!
Ironically, the guy Tarantino is feuding with is another Academy Award winning writer -- Alan Ball -- the guy who wrote "American Beauty" and created "True Blood."
According to Quentin's lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Tarantino claims ever since Ball installed an "exotic bird menagerie" -- Quentin has been forced to endure the "obnoxious pteradactyl-like screams" of the macaw birds.
In fact, Q claims the noise has "seriously disrupted [his] ability to work as a writer in his home."
Tarantino says he tried to amicably resolve the matter with Ball -- but Alan has "done little to eliminate the macaws' daily cacophony" ... so he wants the judge to force Ball to silence them once and for all.

Charlie Sheen Frantic to Find His Kids
Charlie Sheen does not know where his twins were taken last night, and he tells TMZ, "I'm going crazy. I have to find my children."
Charlie's kids were taken from his home last night after Brooke Mueller obtained a court order which temporarily stripped Charlie of any custodial rights.
Charlie sent a nanny over to Brooke's home in the Los Feliz area of L.A., to check on the kids, but no one was there.
Charlie believes Brooke is on crack cocaine and feels she's a danger to the twins.
Charlie tells us he's trying to reach out to Brooke to settle things rather than fight it out in court, but so far he hasn't heard from anyone. And it's complicated by the fact that there's an order prohibiting Charlie from having any contact with Brooke.

No sense kicking someone when they're down.
Deion Sanders Kids Come Before Hall of Fame
Deion Sanders showed up to the NFL Hall of Fame induction press conference on Saturday (for which he was the main honoree) wearing a sweatshirt and track pants -- that's because he didn't want to leave a youth football game before it was over.
Deion's team took on a team coached by Snoop Dogg in something called the Snooper Bowl (so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Snoop's team won in a landslide).
We're told Deion got calls early in the morning asking him to show up for the announcement -- but Deion told them the kids came first and he didn't want to disappoint them.
The man they call "Primetime" made it eventually, wearing the same black Under Armour sweatshirt he'd worn all day.

Weight Watchers: 9-Year-Olds Personae Non Gratin
"Big Love" star Ginnifer Goodwin -- once a 9-year-old Weight Watchers member -- would be unwelcome today, because the diet co. tells TMZ, "Under no circumstances whatsoever" can kids under 10 enroll.
Goodwin claimed yesterday she started WW 23 years ago, back when she was 9 -- but there was a big policy change in 2003 ... The company line now is that it's potentially dangerous for kids under 10 to join the program.
Dr. Suparna Jain -- a pediatric endocrinologist -- tells us WW is wise not to give its stamp of approval to anyone under 10, because the diet does not provide enough calcium and protein for a growing body. The Weight Watchers program is predicated on calories, fiber and fat, not fundamental nutrients.
