Remember that photo of POPE JOHN PAUL II that the singer SINEAD O'CONNOR ripped up on "Saturday Night Live" a week ago? It's back together again, at the request of last Saturday's host, the actor JOE PESCI.

"Sinead O'Connor tore up a picture of the Pope and I thought that was wrong," Mr. Pesci said at the start of the show. He held up the patched-up photo, to the audience's applause.

The singer said she was protesting religious oppression. Mr. Pesci said that if it had been his show, "I would have gave her such a smack."
