John Travolta Finally Explains Why He Screwed Up Idina Menzel’s Name [VIDEO]

Why did it take a year for us to hear this story?

John Travolta butchering Idina Menzel's name at last year's Oscars might've been the biggest moment from the telecast. I think it actually made her more popular, and made us all question what in the world happened to Danny Zuko.

We never got a real explanation to why John Travolta called Idina, Adele Dazeem, until last night, when John appeared on Jimmy Kimmel's Oscar special.

Apparently it was all Goldie Hawn's fault? I dunno. I'm skeptical. Though this story actually sounds pretty believable, why wait a year to tell it? I feel like a lot of people would've understood they changed the spelling and confused you, but now it's too late.

Plus you were a creepy dude with Scarlett Johansson on the red carpet and then you got weird with Idina on stage last night too. So, Mr. Kotter, I will take your reasoning, but I will continue to feel that you are strange and not want to meet you in person.
