The REAL Reason John Travolta Butchered Idina Menzel’s Name

As everyone who watched the Oscars last night knows — and even everyone who DIDN’T watch the Oscars knows — John Travolta totally butchered Idina Menzel’s name when introducing the Frozen singer last night:

Yes!  “Adele Dazim!”  But I think it’s pretty obvious why John messed it up so badly — he was simply using the TODDLER pronunciation of her name.  Of course!  Heck, toddlers have a way of hilariously mangling tons of words.  Some other things John probably says, based on real-life toddler mispronunciations:

“Hey, I’m going potty!  A little private-seat would be appreciated.”  –John Travolta

“Mmmm!  Yummy pant-cakes!” –John Travolta

“Just taking a little spin in my helipopper!” –John Travolta

“To be honest, the weave is too tight around my head-fore.” –John Travolta

“I could really go for a plate of pisketti and meatballs right now. –John Travolta

Candy lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two young kids and three rescue Persian cats, the latter of whom are the real brains behind this operation (so send all complaints to them).
