'Real World' House PISSING OFF the Neighbors
The cast of MTV's "Real World" Season 26 hasn't even moved into their new house in San Diego -- but TMZ has learned, some neighbors have already called the cops to complain about the racket.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, they've received multiple complaints about construction, noise, and parking problems -- ever since MTV moved into the swanky La Jolla neighborhood.
But we're told, MTV isn't breaking any rules -- cops have checked the house out several times ... and so far, they haven't found a single code violation.
But all that might change ... once the cast moves in.

MTV Star Arrested, Smears Poop on Jail Cell
MTV reality show star Abram Boise must have been feeling down in the dumps after he got arrested this weekend ... because while sitting in his jail cell, he defecated in his hands and smeared it on the cell ... this according to law enforcement sources.
Boise was arrested in Massachusetts by Lunenburg PD on two counts of defacing property and one count of indecent exposure ... after cops found him urinating in public.
But apparently his bowels weren't empty ... because law enforcement sources tell us he peed on the floor of the cell, was moved to a second one, and then he pooped in his hand and smeared it all over the wall of the second cell.
Abram has appeared in such reality shows as “Road Rules: South Pacific,” “The Gauntlet,” “The Inferno,” “Battle of the Sexes 2,” “The Inferno 3” and “The Island.”
In case you give a crap, Abram is scheduled to be arraigned today.

'Real World's' Puck Badly Injured in Car Wreck
Puck from "The Real World: San Francisco" is hospitalized in San Diego following a terrifying car wreck that left the reality star and his 8-year-old son seriously injured ... this according to sources close to the family.
We're told Puck was driving down Route 79 on Friday to go on a father-son fishing trip, when he swerved to avoid a deer and lost control of his car.
The car rolled down an embankment and landed upside down in a creek. Sources tell us Puck -- real name David Rainey -- was trapped, but he managed to free his son, who flagged down some help.
The two were transported to nearby hospitals where doctors discovered Puck had broken bones in both feet, his right hand, his neck ... and fractured his sternum and clavicle.
We're told his son had bruised several internal organs in the wreck -- he also suffered major damage to his liver.
Puck's son has since been released from the hospital -- but Puck is expected to remain hospitalized for at least another week.
"Real World" Star Real Desperate

Alton Williams -- of "The Real World: Las Vegas" and several "RW" spin-offs -- is hocking his scooter online using the popular message board site. In fact, it's not just any scooter -- but one he won on a "Real World" challenge.
Alton told us he wants to get rid of the scooter because of a recent motorcycle accident, so he's sworn off two-wheelers. He tells us he's gotten tons of calls, so act fast -- you wouldn't want to miss out on a piece of reality TV show history. Plus, rent is due today.

Angelina: Stay-at-Home Mom?
Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and Maddox -- get ready to see a whole lot more of mommy!
Adoption-happy Angelina Jolie told a Vietnamese newspaper that she'll be staying at home with her kids for awhile to help the new passenger on the adoption wagon, Pax Thien, adjust to life in America. It seems Angie thinks staying out of the limelight might be a good idea, especially because little Pax was so riled by the media attention surrounding his adoption, that he broke into tears during his first meeting with the mega-star.
Jolie later apologized for exposing the three-year old to the frenzy. "I have four children and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment," she said. So this means there isn't another "Tomb Raider" sequel in the works? "Everyone would agree that children need to have a family," she continued. "I have the ability to help children fulfill that desire. Why should I say no?"
Paris & Nicole -- The New Richard Simmons?
In the this-can't-be-real camp, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are gearing up to produce a really not needed fifth season of "The Simple Life" -- in a fat camp. An E! network spokesperson told Us magazine that the celebutards had signed on to be counselors at a camp that touts a "weight loss and fitness" program as one of its components. We don't know about you, but the idea that the pencil-thin Richie (who admitted to having an eating disorder but seems to be looking a tad less skin-and-bones these days) could teach kids anything about healthy diet and fitness seems going too far -- even for "The Simple Life."
Heather Mills Gets the Brush-Off From PETA
"Dancing With the Stars" one-legged dancing sensation Heather Mills is learning the consequences of going through a nasty divorce with a beloved Beatle the hard way; now, not even charities want her name associated with them. A report from Page Six today alleges that Paul McCartney's soon-to-be ex-wife may have been axed as a spokesperson for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), because the group doesn't want to offend longtime PETA supporter Paul McCartney. PETA hasn't come out and said so, exactly, but Mills' recent anti-fur activities have been done without the PETA crew in tow. PETA won't admit to flat out dissing Mills, stating only, "...we don't have any imminent campaigns planned with her."
