Annoying Soccer Horns -- Banned from NBA Finals
Horny NBA fans are about to get a rude awakening -- those obnoxious World Cup horns are officially vuvuzela non grata at the big Game 7 tonight in Los Angeles.
TMZ spoke with a rep for the STAPLES Center in L.A. -- where the deciding game between L.A. Lakers and the Boston Celtics is scheduled to go down -- and we're told the arena bans ALL noisemakers, "so if you bring a vuvuzela you would not be able to bring it in with you."
Ironically, the ban doesn't seem to include thundersticks -- every foul shot shooter's nightmare -- which arena ushers hand out at halftime.
This is all bad news for Boston radio stations -- who have been encouraging Boston fans to bring down the mighty Kobe by tooting their own horns.

Lawrence Taylor's alleged pimp, Rasheed Davis, has a history of 'fessing up to violent crime -- like the 1991 shooting he detailed in a handwritten statement to police ... a move that earned him hard time in prison.
Long before his alleged dealings with LT and an underaged girl, Davis sprayed bullets into a Bronx street fight -- and TMZ.obtained a copy of the letter Davis wrote the day after the shooting.
In the letter -- which reads like a scene from "Boyz n the Hood" -- Davis admitted getting a .22 caliber rifle from his apartment and firing it when someone else shot at him. He wrote "I shot the rifle into the ... crowd. I aimed at somone (sic) with a hand gun. I fired about 12 times."

Davis is currently facing a federal charge of sex trafficking in the LT case, and is due back in court next week.

Annoying World Cup Horns -- The Silver Lining
Millions of vuvuzela headaches at the World Cup may actually end up helping several poor African villages -- and it's all because of the incredibly huge demand for earplugs.
Here's how it breaks down: a South African non-profit called Uthango Social Investments has decided to manufacture their own brand of earplugs ... and use the profits to bring technology to poor African villages -- specifically broadband Internet.
A rep for Uthango tells TMZ, the company partnered with a huge South African vuvuzela manufacturer called Masincedane Sport weeks before the World Cup -- who agreed to sell Uthango's earplugs in a package along with their vuvuzelas.
Uthango pulls in $0.66 for every set of earplugs they sell -- and we're told they've already sold 75,000 pairs ... which means they've raised $49,500 in cold hard earplug money.
According to the rep, they expect to sell at least 175,000 more before the tournament is over.
