Fear not, G fans. reports of Godzilla's death [PEOPLE, July 31] are at least somewhat exaggerated. While it is true that after 22 starring roles the Big Guy may bite the dust in his latest flick, the word on Monster Island is that his lookalike offspring (introduced in 1993's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla) is being groomed to resume the series in just a couple of years. Junior G. need only finish his growth spurt, 20 more meters and 20,000 tons, and he'll soon be following in his dad's crater-like footsteps. JOHN DANIEL LEES, Founder Godzilla...

"Sid would have bought Virgin Records, he would have bought nbc," says Irving Azoff, MCA's former music boss. "He was really frustrated that the Japanese wouldn't let him do any of that."
