'The Celebrity Apprentice' Finale: Donald Trump Must Decide Between Arsenio Hall And Clay Aiken

div>

Aubrey O'Day was still bitter about not making the final two on "The Celebrity Apprentice" (Sun., 9 p.m. ET on NBC). In the season finale, the third place finisher performed "I Will Survive" and gave Donald Trump a hard glare on the line, "You did me wrong."

She made sure the audience knew it, too, explaining her move later. Ultimately, though, it wasn't about Aubrey O'Day. It was about whether or not Donald Trump would hire Arsenio Hall or Clay Aiken. In their final challenge, Aiken raised nearly twice as much money as Hall did, but Hall had that perfect track record as a project manager. But he also had that very ugly blow-up with O'Day -- their feud pretty much ran the entire length of the season.

So who won in the end? Trump said he'd never been so torn, while Entertainment Weekly pointed out that this was going to be a significant win no matter who took it. It was either going to be the first African-American winner or the first gay one.

In the end, it was Arsenio Hall who got hired by Trump. A writer for Cinema Blend said they would have probably gone with Aiken, or taking it back a step further they would have preferred O'Day be in the finale. At the same time, though, Hall isn't a bad winner.

Did the right person win? "The Celebrity Apprentice" will return in early 2013 on NBC.

(AP) ? Two U.S. senators are asking Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate whether employers asking for Facebook passwords during job interviews are violating federal law, their offices announced Sunday.

Troubled by reports of the practice, Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said they are calling on the Department of Justice and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to launch investigations. The senators are sending letters to the heads of the agencies.

The Associated Press reported last week that some private and public agencies around the country are asking job seekers for their social media credentials. The practice has alarmed privacy advocates, but the legality of it remains murky.

On Friday, Facebook warned employers not to ask job applicants for their passwords to the site so they can poke around on their profiles. The company threatened legal action against applications that violate its long-standing policy against sharing passwords.

A Facebook executive cautioned that if an employer discovers that a job applicant is a member of a protected group, the employer may be vulnerable to claims of discrimination if it doesn't hire that person.

Personal information such as gender, race, religion and age are often displayed on a Facebook profile ? all details that are protected by federal employment law.

"We don't think employers should be asking prospective employees to provide their passwords because we don't think it's the right thing to do. While we do not have any immediate plans to take legal action against any specific employers, we look forward to engaging with policy makers and other stakeholders, to help better safeguard the privacy of our users," Facebook said in a statement.

Not sharing passwords is a basic tenet of online conduct. Aside from the privacy concerns, Facebook considers the practice a security risk.

"In an age where more and more of our personal information ? and our private social interactions ? are online, it is vital that all individuals be allowed to determine for themselves what personal information they want to make public and protect personal information from their would-be employers. This is especially important during the job-seeking process, when all the power is on one side of the fence," Schumer said in a statement.

Specifically, the senators want to know if this practice violates the Stored Communications Act or the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Those two acts, respectively, prohibit intentional access to electronic information without authorization and intentional access to a computer without authorization to obtain information.

The senators also want to know whether two court cases relating to supervisors asking current employees for social media credentials could be applied to job applicants.

"I think it's going to take some years for courts to decide whether Americans in the digital age have the same privacy rights" as previous generations, American Civil Liberties Union attorney Catherine Crump said in a previous interview with the AP.

The senators also said they are drafting a bill to fill in any gaps that current laws don't cover.

Maryland and Illinois are considering bills that would bar public agencies for asking for this information.

In California, Democratic Sen. Leland Yee introduced a bill that would prohibit employers from asking current employees or job applicants for their social media user names or passwords. That state measure also would bar employers from requiring access to employees' and applicants' social media content, to prevent employers from requiring logins or printouts of that content for their review.
