Time to lighten up and have a laugh — or at least a hearty eye-roll? I have four finalists for this week’s Fun Friday newsmaker.

• Boy George Returns Stolen Church Icon (AFP)

Full disclosure: I wanted to go with this one, because my family is Cypriot and I’m now wondering if Boy George and George Michael, a British Cypriot and fellow former pop star, will bond over this experience. Now that they’re no longer feuding (over Michael’s decision to remain closeted during the height of his fame), wouldn’t it be great if they put their has-been careers together and create a Boy George Michael comeback sensation? Hey, if the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block can do it…

But, I figured the rest of you would prefer to chat about one of these:

• Chinese Mom vs. Matzah Mom (JTA)
• Russian Women ‘Dress Like Strippers’: Church Spokesperson (AFP)
• Ricky Gervais Says Atheism Shouldn’t Offend (CNN)
