Is it legal to use celebrities in your app?

Suppose there is an android/ios application, is it possible to use the image of a celebrity (actor, singer, politician) in your application - without the permission of the celebrity itself? For example, not a direct photograph, but a rendered version, a 3D model or a caricature.
And let's say change the name, as an example:
Take the name: Arnold Schwarzenegger, and write in the application: "iron Arnie."
