L.A. Lakers star Jordan Hill struck a plea deal!

He was in some real legal trouble for allegedly choking his ex-gf during a serious argument back in February.

His ex filed the police report that said he assaulted her, left bruises on her legs and tried to choke her.

Hill eventually turned himself into the police and pleaded no contest to the charge and was given a $500 fine and a 1-year deferred sentence.

Uh oh! Vogue has been very bad!!!

The mag and Conde Nast are feeling the heat from domestic violence and women's rights advocacy groups Vogue Hommes International's latest and risque cover.

Shot by Terry Richardson, the Fall/Winter cover features a sultry Stephanie Seymour being choked by Marlon Teixeira. On the inside, the models get exxxtra handsy, grabbing each other's lady and man parts.

In a letter to Conde Nast, Sanctuary for Families, Safe Horizon, Equality Now, and the New York chapter of NOW demand the magazine cover be pulled from newsstands, adding:

The Los Angeles Lakers' newest star may not be shining for too long.

Power Forward Jordan Hill has been charged with felony assault for choking a family member in Texas on February 29.

We're not sure WHO he choked, but it must have been a pret-ty serious attack if they want to put him in the slammer for up to 10 years.

Since the incident occurred while he was still playing for the Houston Rockets, he's due in court Texas court to face the third-degree felony charge.

We hope this guy gets his act together because, unlike the picture above, assault is never a laughing matter.

Many of us have dogs who are absolute sweethearts and all they wanna do is meet new people and new dogs.

But a dog who won't stop pulling on the leash can become a bit of a nuisance.

So TeddyHilton.com reader, Lauren, wrote in:

Hi Perez!

My dog has been through professional obedience training, but he still goes absolutely bonkers whenever we see another dog on our walks. He just wants to run over and play with them and be their best friend forever. He pulls and whines and groans like mad. It's the one thing we don't seem to have any control over. We've tried a regular collar, an Easy Walk harness, and a choke chain collar but none have any effect on him whatsoever–he still pulls and pulls, sometimes to the point where he's choking himself and only his back legs are touching the ground.

How can we get him to relax around dogs? We'd love to have him greet the new doggies we see, but usually their owners assume our dog is aggressive and don't want to meet. :-/

Thanks!
Lauren

Everybody knows that dogs love bones.

They're fun to chew on and there's delicious marrow inside.

But not everyone knows the dangerous chocking hazard turkey bones pose to dogs.

The animated series, Martha & Friends, follows the adventures of a 10-year-old Martha Stewart, her friends and her two dogs Sharkey and Francesca.

A Thanksgiving special will air Thanksgiving at noon on the Hallmark Channel, and it will tell a doggy version of Thanksgiving, with a very important message for dog safety.

Check out a clip above to hear about the dangers of turkey bones and a good solution for how to use them properly.
