"Dog Whisperer" Cesar Millan is not an alcoholic's best friend -- not even close ... according to allegations in a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
The former Executive Director of the Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation claims he took a leave of absence to seek treatment for alcoholism in June, returned to work the next month clean and sober ... only to be stripped of his title and ultimately fired.
Sean Hawkins claims in his lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court ... it's even worse, because he was assured before he took the leave of absence that his job would be safe.
Hawkins alleges the very first day he returned to work, company big wigs stripped him of his title. Then a few weeks later he says he was given an ultimatum -- a pay cut or the door. Hawkins says when he asked for a little time to think about it, he was fired.
Hawkins is suing for unspecified damages.
Deion Sanders' wife Pilar is already telling her close friends that she absolutely will not return for another season of "Football Wives" ... despite the fact that Season One isn't even halfway over.
Sources close to the reality star tell us ... Pilar is sick of being "made to look like the villain" on the show and does not want to subject herself to another round of drama.
But that's not all Pilar is telling friends ... we're told she's unhappy with her castmates ... even telling one person, "Would they still call it "Football Wives" if their husbands aren't playing or are affiliated with NFL any longer?"
We're guessing this won't be Pilar's last fling with reality TV -- word on the street is that she and Deion are shopping around a new show ... but so far, it's unclear what it will be about.
Paris Hilton’s boyfriend Cy Waits will not be charged with a crime for an incident on the Sunset Strip in which he was caught on tape driving over a paparazzo ... TMZ has learned.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. just wrapped up an investigation into the September incident -- and determined that Cy did not commit a hit-and-run after he drove a Bentley over the foot of a female photog who had gone into the street in an effort to shoot Cy and Paris.
Cy had always insisted that he came back to the scene and turned over the proper information to both the woman and the cops.

Unto Carrie Prejean a child shall be born. Multiple sources tell TMZ the former Miss CA USA -- who legally married NFL QB Kyle Boller in July -- is now pregnant with the couple's first child. We are told she's a few months along.
Very Biblically correct.
Butch Patrick -- the guy who played the original Eddie Munster -- has checked himself into a New Jersey rehab facility to seek treatment for a 40-year addiction to cocaine, weed and alcohol.
Patrick's rep tells TMZ ... the 57-year-old actor checked himself in to the rehab clinic Wednesday afternoon -- in an effort to "get a grip on his addiction and educate himself."
We're told Patrick's family has been pushing for the actor to seek professional help for roughly 30 years ... and are "very happy and supportive" of his decision.
Patrick's rep adds, "We have thought he could possibly be a product of the child star problem ... and are thankful he will take control of his fate.”
Mel Gibson believes he and his mega-church were targeted by a scheming construction company -- in a diabolical plot to bilk them out of millions of dollars ... this according to legal docs obtained by TMZ.
It's the latest in Gibson's nasty legal war with Ramage Construction Company ... which Mel had hired in 2000 on behalf of the foundation that owns his church in Malibu. Ramage had first sued Gibson earlier this year for failing to pay for a portion of the work they did.
But according to the new docs, filed in L.A. County Superior Court -- Mel claims Ramage had a secret plan to scam the foundation by billing them for "hundreds of thousands -- if not millions -- of dollars of work at [the church] that was unnecessary or excessive."
In the docs, Mel claims Ramage screwed up elevators, sprinkler mains, electrical wiring and botched a generator installation ... among numerous other problems and deficiencies.
Gibson also accuses Ramage of trying to use the media against him -- stating that the company went public with the original lawsuit "in an attempt to intimidate and embarrass Mr. Gibson and his foundation into paying them even more unwarranted sums."
