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."

The poem's opening lines are pretty ironic ... considering unemployed Charlie's current situation -- "Keep it light; Keep it tight; Know what's right - Choose your fight."

We're told Charlie scribbled the poem on a blank page in the back of his book of poetry -- "A Peace of My Mind" -- and then handed it to a friend on New Year's Eve in '96.

The closing lines -- "It's up [to] the man with a steady plan, to star in that final show."

Yeah ... so much for that.

According to the designer, the "plexiglass vessel" was a collaboration between Gaga and Chalayan based on a piece of work Chalayan did for a movie back in 2003.

The joke condoms aren't affiliated with the royal family -- but that doesn't make the website's description any less hilarious ... "Combining the strength of a Prince with the yielding sensitivity of a Princess-to-be, Crown Jewels condoms promise a royal union of pleasure."

But don't sheath your sword just yet -- there's a disclaimer at the bottom of the site that reads, "Crown Jewels Royal Wedding Souvenir Condoms are a novelty condom not suitable for contraception or protection against STDs."
