They must stage their respective charity events before Donald Trump crowns the season’s winner in the live finale.

Last week, meanwhile, saw the departure of pop singer Aubrey O’Day.

When asked if she thought she deserved to be in the final two, O’Day told Entertainment Weekly, ” Absolutely. I mean, just in watching last night when Trump asked us all why, I was the only one out of the three of us to say that I was the strongest player there. I mean, it’s a confidence factor, it’s just a fact. I worked the hardest, I had the most ideas, and the thing about this show is, it’s not a show about building teams.”

“The Celebrity Apprentice” season five finale airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.

Zuma says ‘hurt, violated’ by portrait

SOUTH Africa President Jacob Zuma has said he was “shocked, and felt personally ­offended and violated� when he saw a copy of artist Brett Murray’s painting The Spear for the first time.

The painting, which has divided public opinion in the country, ­depicts him as “a philanderer, a womaniser and one with no ­respect�, says Zuma.

Zuma’s ANC party is taking a local newspaper, City Press and the Goodman Gallery, which is displaying the work, to court on Tuesday.

They want the gallery to remove the portrait from Murray’s Hail to the Thief II exhibition and City Press to delete the image from its website.

A continued display of the ­artwork, which shows Zuma’s ­genitals hanging out, will impugn Zuma’s dignity “in the eyes of all who see it�, the president states in an affidavit served on the newspaper as part of court ­papers.

On Saturday the president’s children came to his defence, ­saying the portrait was “vulgar and lacks humanity�.

Character

“It seeks to take away our ­father’s dignity, and destroy his true character and stature as a man, a father, and a leader of the ANC and South African society at large,� said the statement, written by his daughter Gugu on behalf of the family.

Lawyers for Zuma and the ANC will argue on Tuesday in the South Gauteng High Court that The Spear is in breach of the president and the party’s constitutional rights to dignity and privacy.

The Goodman Gallery – whose owner received death threats over the weekend – and City Press are defending the action.

Zuma says the ANC takes exception “to the symbolism the portrait uses in order to portray the ANC through its president� as responsible for “abuses of power, corruption and political dumbness� – the theme of the exhibition.

Zuma says he realises that the image has been displayed to “millions within and outside the country�, and that despite its removal, “it will

Tim Tebow — Allegedly Asks for Twitter Photo to be Taken Down

0520_tim_teebow_girls
Tim Tebow posed for a photo backstage with cast members of the Broadway music “Rock Ages” … and then asked for that photo to be taken off Twitter … this according to one of the cast members. 

Neka Zang posted the pic (see above) on her Twitter account at some point last night — and even posted a photo of the whole cast Tebowing.

But the photo with Tebow was gone a short time later … which she explained by tweeting, “Well, Due to Tebow’s “image” I was asked to remove the pic of him with us half dressed ladies. He does know we arn’t real strippers right?”

She went on to say, “Tweeps. I’m not mad, or judging. Just letting u all know I took the pic down. Ok. Thanks.”

Calls to Tebow’s rep were not returned.
