GEORGE STILL BURNS WITH LIFE AND IS JUST TOO BUSY TO DIE

George Burns is 93, but not too old to play God for a fourth time. He hopes to begin filming "Oh, God! Book IV" as soon as he finds a script he likes, but meanwhile he's been promoting a new show-biz memoir, "All My Best Friends," and a new comedy video, "George Burns: His Wit and Wisdom." Daily chores are made more difficult by arthritis, astigmatism and hearing loss, and he had a bypass operation at age 79, but Burns says he is looking toward the future. He has so many projects ahead of him that he "can't afford to die." One of them is a two-week appearance at the London Palladium in January 1996, when the comedian will celebrate his 100th birthday. "I don't think I'm going to die for a long time because I'm too busy," Burns told USA Weekend.
