		<description><![CDATA[Tart-tongued comedian Joan Rivers was crowned Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Celebrity Apprentice&#8221; winner Sunday night, edging out poker-playing diva Annie Duke. In the season finale of the hit NBC reality show, the 75-year-old Brooklyn-born Rivers showed heart, tears and &#8220;disgust&#8221; for Duke. &#8220;You are a two-faced person,&#8221; Rivers told Duke, 43, in a live face-to-face smackdown in Trump&#8217;s boardroom, which was transported to the American Museum of Natural History on the upper West Side to cap the show&#8217;s eighth season. Duke fired back that Rivers would be fired from most Fortune 500 companies. She was especially miffed that the funny lady called her &#8220;worse than Hitler&#8221; and suggested her friends were in the mafia. &#8220;She&#8217;s an amazing lady, but she&#8217;s not a nice lady,&#8221; Duke said of Rivers. In the end, it was up to The Donald to issue the final pink slip. &#8220;Annie,&#8221; he said to Duke, &#8220;you&#8217;re fired.&#8221; The winner was named as the 14 fired apprentice wannabes, including Rivers&#8217; daughter, Melissa, showed up to witness the TV mega-event.

Noval Street, Manila, and a security guard for illegal detention and grave threats regarding the December 8 alleged manhandling of her 16-year-old son. She swore that: &quot;My son told me that while inside the Mini Stop, Melvin Buceta grabbed him by the collar, threw him with force and boxed him with force on the lower back, in full view of the people inside the store. The security guard stood nearby, obviously to make sure that my son could not fight back or escape.&quot;</p>
