Aubrey O'Day's decision to let her dogs rub their butts all over the table at a popular L.A. eatery last week has triggered a Health Dept. investigation ... TMZ has learned ... because, quite frankly, it's disgusting.
TMZ broke the story ... the "Celebrity Apprentice" star let her puppies wag their naked asses all over her table at Toast for several minutes ... before finally putting the poochies on the ground.
Gross.
Now, a rep for the L.A. Public Health Dept. tells TMZ ... a health inspector has visited the restaurant to remind employees about pet guidelines ... specifically the one that reads, "Pets shall not be allowed on chairs, seats, benches and tables."
The rep adds, "The Health Dept would like people to enjoy eating with their pets ... but we also want people to be respectful to other people."
We're told the staff was quite receptive to the official ... and no citations or warnings were issued.
A rep for Toast tells us the restaurant will be "extremely vigilant" about future potential anal infractions.

1471Courtney Love's Ex-Assistant Shopping Tell-All -- She's a Delusional Drug Addict | TMZ.com
One of Courtney Love's ex-assistant's is shopping a new book -- claiming to offer up the singer's deepest darkest secrets ... involving her derailed love life, and rampant denial of serious drug problems.
The book -- tentatively entitled "Get Me a Xanax" -- is being shopped around to major literary agents in New York by a woman named Jessica Labrie, who worked for Love from 2010-2011.
According to the proposal -- obtained by TMZ -- "This is an unprecedented glimpse into the daily life of the chaotic widow of Kurt Cobain, by an innocuous girl who had the extraordinary chance to witness it all."
Labrie makes many allegations in her proposal -- including how Love torpedoed several romantic relationships with her obsessive behavior, and still abuses cocaine and prescription drugs like Adderall and Xanax ... despite telling people she's been "clean and sober" for years.
So far, no word on whether the book's been picked up.
Courtney tells TMZ, she hasn't taken Adderall since November 2010 -- and is adamant she never took cocaine when Labrie worked for her, adding, "I hate cocaine."
Courtney admitted she does take Xanax -- but she has a prescription.
1465Kim Kardashian Divorce -- Poor Kris Humphries Has a Fool For a Client ... Himself! | TMZ.com
Kris Humphries has filed legal documents in his divorce case appointing himself as his own lawyer ... TMZ has learned.
Kris -- who makes $8 mil a year with the New Jersey Nets -- wanted his Minnesota business lawyer to rep him in the Kim Kardashian divorce. But in California, an out-of-state lawyer must have a local attorney by his side. So Kris hired a Los Angeles lawyer.
But we found out the L.A. lawyer has withdrawn from the case, so the Minnesota lawyer doesn't have a sponsor anymore. Translation: Mr. Minnesota is persona non grata in court.
As if that's not bad enough for Kris ... guess who he's squaring off with in court? That would be disso-queen Laura Wasser, one of the most powerful divorce lawyers in Hollywood with a celeb roster that includes Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Ryan Reynolds, Kiefer Sutherland, Stevie Wonder ... get the picture.
Bottom line -- Kris has no chance on this court ...
A source close to Kris tells TMZ ... the bballer does not intend to rep himself. His Minnesota lawyer will look for another sponsor. And this is rich ... we're told the Minnesota lawyer is telling people he's not afraid of Laura Wasser because he's tried hundreds of cases.
