Men are clearly the creepier of the sexes, read on and find out why. On Saturday night in Rock Hill, North Carolina, a single mother whose first name is Tracy heard strange noises coming from her attic. Eventually she called her nephew to help check it out.

He went up into the attic and figured out what was happening. Turns out Tracy’s 44-year-old EX-BOYFRIEND had broken into her house, and was secretly LIVING IN HER ATTIC. And he’d been there for about TWO WEEKS.

The ex-boyfriend got away.

Tracy says she broke up with the guy more than 12 years ago, and he’s been in and out of jail. He’s always tried to keep in touch with her, but she didn’t want any part of it.

Police are trying to track him down.

If you haven’t seen video of TOM HANKS telling a story at MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN’S funeral on Monday, you need to . . . because it’s HILARIOUS.

STORY SPOILER AHEAD:

Tom repeated a story that Michael once told him . . . about joining a gang when he was a kid. The upshot was that when his mother found out, she hit him in the head with a FRYING PAN . . .

And he had to go back to the gang and tell them that his mom wouldn’t let him be a member.

CHRIS BROWN has a new tattoo of a woman’s face on his neck, and a lot of people think it looks like RIHANNA. Others have speculated that it’s a BATTERED WOMAN . . . because there are marks on the face.

Turns out it’s neither. Brown’s rep says it was inspired by a half-skull design he happened to see . . . which was released by the MAC Cosmetics company in honor of Mexico’s Day of the Dead festival.

THIS is why carjacking isn’t for everyone.

Around 1:30 A.M. on Monday, 18-year-old Jamel Wilson of Knoxville, Tennessee and a juvenile whose name wasn’t released CARJACKED a guy.

They pulled a gun, the driver got out of the car, and they got in. But there was a problem. Neither one of them knew how to DRIVE A STICK.

The make and model of the car wasn’t released. All we know is that it had a manual transmission. And when the guys couldn’t figure out how to use a clutch or shift gears, they got out and started running.

The cops quickly caught up with them. Both were arrested.

Anyone else think it’s weird when a grown man can’t drive a stick?
