He should change his name to Burt Mack-arach. Last night at LAX, Burt got further proof that his songs can seal the deal for just about any guy.

Last night's 'American Idol' season finale did more than crown a new winner and attract one of the biggest audiences in TV history. It also produced some of prime time's most awkward moments.
TMZ has some of the lowlights.
KATHARINE AND THE LOAF
While other top 12 'Idols' performed with such amazing acts as Live, Al Jarreau and Burt Bacharach, McPhee got stuck with Meat Loaf. It's hard to imagine when producers asked the contestants who their own personal idols were, the words Meat and Loaf were uttered by Katharine.
Meat brought a dirty-old-man combination of Broadway and geriatrics to the performance, while Kat was left to fend for herself as Mr. Loaf and his hankie chased her around the stage.
TONI BRAXTON'S BRAIN FREEZE
The song 'In The Ghetto' was sung at one time by a guy named Elvis Presley. Ms. Braxton should look it up.
Her performance of the song left many viewers wondering if she knew any of the words. At points, when she was supposed to be singing, she would dip her head down, and riff, covering up the lack of lyrics.
Hopefully this wasn't a preview of what fans can expect from the diva when she takes up residency at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas.
