Time for another Guess Who ... can you guess this sexy "final girl"?!

For those of you not in the know ... a final girl is a classic horror-film character type made popular in the '70s -- specifically with the film "Halloween" and spoofed in the "Scream" franchise -- she's the female character who outlasts everyone and defeats the killer.

1:29 PM PT -- A CNN spokesperson tells TMZ ... "The package was published in error; we have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family.”

Everyone can take a deep breath ... Michael J. Fox is alive.

The beloved actor's representative tells TMZ ... "Michael is doing great. He was at PaleyFest yesterday. He was on stage and was giving interviews."

Uncertainty about Michael's well-being stirred after CNN shared an article and video titled "Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox." There were no reports of his passing ... and the post has since been taken down.

Michael made a surprise appearance at PaleyFest LA on Tuesday to join the wrap party for the 3rd season of the comedy series, "Shrinking." The event took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and included a special screening, followed by conversation led by showrunner and co-creator Bill Lawrence and co-creator and star Jason Segel ... along with cast members Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie, Luke Tennie, Christa Miller, Lukita Maxwell and Ted McGinley.

And what a scene it was at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theatre ... Sydney and Zendaya looked absolutely stunning in their dueling white and brown dresses as the two posed for the paparazzi, who were snapping away with their cameras. 

American actor Art Kimbro was in his late 20s when he played Detective Foster -- the by-the-book Beverly Hills police officer annoyed over Detective Foley's rule-breaking ways -- in the 1984 comedy/action film "Beverly Hills Cop."

The Michael Jackson estate reportedly shelled out millions to cut any mention of child molestation accusations in the end of "Michael" ... and because of it, they now own a stake in the film.

The late singer's estate is estimated to have coughed up between $10M and $15M to complete "necessary" reshoots for the movie, according to Variety.

The publication reports the biopic was originally supposed to explore the impact that child molestation accusations had on Jackson's life ... but now there's not even a mention of the accusations, because of a clause in a settlement with one of Jackson's accusers. Jordan Chandler reportedly barred the mention of him in any movie.

Zendaya's looks over the years are giving all THE DRAMA!

We know Tom Holland's Spidey senses are spot-on with Zendaya, but the question here is: Good Genes or Good Docs?!
