It was all about the Taylor Lautner panties on the late night circuit Monday, as both Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner himself dished about the laughable lingerie in separate talk show appearances.First up was the always-dapper Taylor sporting a gray suit and skinny tie on "The Jay Leno Show." When asked about his most shocking fan encounter, Taylor had a hard time choosing just one, but settled on this unsettling encounter:
"We were at an autograph signing," he began. "There was a mother who was like in her mid-40s and a little teenage daughter. And the mother, she's getting ready, she's up next, she's like shaking and doing this dance and rubbing her hands, and she's getting all ready. And the daughter, she's just chilling [crosses arms]. And [the event supervisors] go, 'All right, you're up.' The mother skips on up. She goes, 'Excluse me, Taylor.' She grabs, my wrist. 'I'm wearing the Team Taylor panties right now. Is there anyway I can take them off for you and have you sign them quick?' And the daughter goes 'Mom, come on!' "
Taylor also divulged where he and his fellow "New Moon" cast members liked to chill to avoid rabid fan attention while filming in Vancouver. "My hangout was the senior citizen bowling alley," he divulged. "It worked really. The balls, they're like really tiny and you can hold them in your hands. And there's only like five pins. I mean, there's nobody under the age of 80 there."
In addition to an exclusive clip from "New Moon" (which we'll get to in a minute), Jay brought out some rare footage of Taylor singing on Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's show "The Nick and Jessica Variety Hour." The much-younger (and less beefy) Taylor donned mouse ears and a t-shirt reading "Joel" to sing the Mickey Mouse song. Aw, so cute! Oh yes, and the exclusive clip. It was an extended scene of Jacob jumping into Bella's window, ending with his now-famous line, "Have you ever had a secret you couldn't tell anyone?" Besides two very short lines of dialogue, it was nothing we hadn't seen before.
Next up was Kristen on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" where the 19-year-old, looking pretty in a white and black bustier dress and shiny black pumps, debuted her new ink: a Bella tattoo. OK, OK`, so it was just a stick figure she drew on her hand, but it added a certain rocker chick vibe to the ensemble.
When asked about the weirdest piece of "Twilight" merchandise she'd ever seen, Kristen gave a very familiar answer. "I think it's weird that we have underwear with Taylor's face on it," she replied. She's also not too impressed with the Bella doll (different from the Bella Barbie), which she says doesn't look much like her. "She's very well endowed," she said with a laugh.
Kristen also talked about how passionate the Italian "Twilight" fans were, remembering once even being carried out of a bookstore. "Wait, who was carrying you out?" interjected Conan. "I hope one of your people." "Yeah, totally," Kristen responded, gaining a laugh from the audience. "I thought they were like, 'I will-a take-a you home now,' " Conan replied in an affected Italian accent, mimicking carrying Kristen away like a sack of pasta.
KStew concluded her appearance by running her fingers through Conan's hair, a tradition costar Nikki Reed began during her late night appearance last year. How epic would that be if Robert Pattinson and Conan caressed each other's locks? One can only hope, I suppose.
The "New Moon" stars will be appearing on talk shows all week, so keep reading Hollywood Crush's Twilight Watch for the latest.
