The top 40 contestants head to Hawaii on the March 29 episode of American Idol, and it’s time to give their biggest performances yet. After singing during the showcase, they meet with the judges individually for a final judgement, where they find out if they’re in the top 20. Up first is Nick Merico, who sings Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man.” Nick and Lionel didn’t hit it off during the auditions, and the young singer has come a long way. He impresses the judges with his performance and earns a spot in the top 20. MakaylaBrownlee, who was briefly hospitalized due to a seizure during Hollywood Week, takes the stage next. She gives a stunning performance of “More Hearts Than Mine” by Ingrid Andress. She drastically changes the arrangement of the song to try and show a more upbeat side to herself, and unfortunately, the judges don’t think it worked. It takes a toll on her fate in the competition, as Makayla is eliminated.

Was Caleb Nichols Jesse Pinkman in an alternate life? And does Dolores know all about it? Sunday's episode of Westworld included a reference to Aaron Paul's former show, Breaking Bad -- though it wasn't intentional (or even on Paul's radar). "They put you in a cage, Caleb, decided what your life would be," Evan Rachel Wood's Dolores told Caleb in the episode, as he officially joined her fight against Incite. "They did the same thing to me." Fans have been joking about that line since it was included in Westworld's season three trailer, noting that Paul's Jesse was locked in a cage in Breaking Bad's fifth season. While they couldn't get enough of the imaginary Easter egg, Paul told ET it hadn't crossed his mind. "You know, I never really ever thought about that, but yeah," he told ET's Leanne Aguilera at Westworld's season three press day earlier this month. "It's just so crazy what a science fiction show Westworld is, but it feels like it's really based on sort of a distant reality -- which is terrifying."

Rubio said on Twitter that “some in our media can’t contain their glee & delight” as they reported this news, suggesting without providing evidence that China may be withholding positive cases in official surveys.“We have NO IDEA how many cases China really has but without any doubt its significantly more than why [sic] they admit to,” he tweeted. 

American Idolbegan a little differently than usual on Sunday, with a special message from host Ryan Seacrest regarding the ongoing coronavirus outbreak."Good evening, America," Seacrest shared in the video, which appeared to be shot on a camera phone, possibly from his self-isolation. "As we enter another week of staying home, we hope that you and yours are safe and well.""You know, they say music, during challenging times, can be universally healing," Seacrest continued. "And tonight, we hope the music we bring you can do just that and provide a little escape for your family as you get together."Before introducing the episode, Seacrest explained the Hawaii-set showcase of the season's Top 40 was "shot back in January, so enjoy the music."It was clear that Idol would have to address the coronavirus outbreak, which has led to the temporary suspension of production on the current season of the show. This may mean that live episodes -- and thus this season's winner -- won't be determined for some time to come, once the outbreak has subsided and TV productions begin again.
