Generally, yes. A person who is considered a public figure or otherwise notable can usually be used in a work of fiction, so long as it is not in a defamatory manner. Most authors tend to limit references to actual persons to real events, and not involve these characters directly in fictional parts of the plot.
Basically, common sense prevails. If you write a book featuring Regis Philbin as a serial child-rapist, you will likely wind up in court. If you write a murder mystery with Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, or Boris Yeltsin as your prime suspect, there's little likelihood of a lawsuit.
