Robert Pattinson was the latest in "New Moon" stars to stop by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" for a chat with the lovely host. On the episode, which was pre-taped (he is a busy guy after all), our beloved R-Pattz discussed house hunting, fans getting naked and Canadian-American geography. His entire family was there to witness the fun, though they sat in a makeshift section to the side of the actual audience. "I like how they're corralled," Rob joked. "That's the way I like to keep my family. Just, like, in a pen."

Rob said "New Moon" mania has brought him to five or six countries in the past week, but as we know already, it's pretty much impossible to him to actually leave his hotel room. He told Ellen that if he could do anything for a day, he'd try to find a house. "It's very, very difficult, I always think, just the actual process of looking for a house. If someone's following you it defeats the entire purpose of trying to find a secret house."

After attending last night's star-studded New York City "New Moon" premiere, Taylor Lautner was up bright and early (or perhaps he stayed awake all night like his shapeshifting alter ego?) to hit the morning show circuit. First up was a "Today" show one-on-one with Matt Lauer (uh — now we kind of want to know why all four "Today" anchors were in on Kristen Stewart's interview?), where the host worked in one of the sneakiest segues I've ever seen. After asking whether friends and family keep Taylor grounded, Matt cautiously brought up another of Taylor's "friends," Miss Taylor Swift. "How's that going?" he asked, mentioning he'd seen the country star's shoutout to He-Taylor on "SNL."

"She's great. She's a great girl," Taylor said with a big grin. "I was definitely blushing when that happened."

"So you didn't expect it?" Matt asked. "No, it was a surprise," Taylor answered.

In addition to the usual fandemonium/weight gain conversation, Matt also managed to throw in another question likely to send fangirls into a tizzy, asking Taylor about his almost constant shirtlessness in the sequel. "Yeah, it was a little awkward just because we were flming in Vancouver in March. So it's snowing for the whole first month, and I'm the only one wearing the little jean shorts," Taylor replied.

About an hour after Dakota Fanning's Jay Leno gab session last night, we were treated to Taylor Lautner’s appearance on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" (Kristen Stewart was in Fallon's hot seat on Wednesday night). But, just like Jay, Jimmy had his own “Twilight” skit try and tickle fans’ funny bones. Jimmy revived his "Robert is Bothered" sketch, which includes the host playing an angry Robert (who inexplicably sounds like John Lennon) sitting in a tree complaining about everything that’s bothering him.

So what was bothering Robert in this installment? Movies, sequels, werewolves, the wolf pack (they are the “O Town of werewolves”) and “New Moon” which should have been called “Twilight 2” because the sequel to “Rocky” wasn’t called “New Rocky.” Sorry, Jimmy, but all we want to see Rob doing in a tree is k-i-s-s-i-n-g.

For a morning that was an all-Robert Pattinson fest (hey, not a bad way to start the day!) Dakota Fanning and Taylor Lautner (who was on "Late Night") opted to take the night shift on the talk show circuit on “New Moon” eve. So, for those of you who were waiting (im)patiently in line for the midnight showings, I’m here to catch you up on what you missed.

Dakota stopped by “The Jay Leno Show” to chat about “Twilight” madness (among other things) but before she hit the stage, there was a “New Moon” treat for viewers. Jay sent staffer sent Mickey Day to the L.A. premiere (lucky!) to report from the scene and gather all the information he would need to make his very own “Twilight” sequel. Mickey soon hit the red carpet to talk to the cast, beginning with an un-PC question to Taylor, asking “How does it feel to have brought millions of girls into puberty?” The always gentlemanly Taylor responded with a simple, “I think it’s the series and the characters.”

Today was Robert Pattinson's turn to hit the morning shows, appearing on both "Today" and "Live with Regis and Kelly" for his round of "New Moon"-related questioning. Clad in a strategically unbuttoned green dress shirt, white v-neck undershirt, and dark grey blazer, he talked to the morning hosts about dating someone whose name rhymes with "Tristan Bluart," biting and "Twilight" moms, and graciously signed autographs for fans.

Maybe they learned from yesterday's very brief segment with Kristen Stewart, but "Today" went the one-host-interview route with Rob instead of having all four hosts grilling him at once, and it made for a much more entertaining interview. That's also probably due to the fact that Rob is a lot more forthcoming and unguarded when talking to the press than Kristen, but having Matt Lauer talk to Rob solo proved highly entertaining. Plus, the "Today" show got to use the "Interview with a Vampire" graphic I'm sure they've been waiting forever to show America.

In some of their final stops on the New York City press tour for "New Moon," Robert Pattinson visited the set of "Late Show with David Letterman" and Kristen Stewart hung out with Jimmy Fallon on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."

The Letterman show was fueled with the topic of "New Moon." In his opening monologue he commented that vampire teens stay up all night and then sleep all day, adding, "Isn't that every teenager? When you think about it, isn't that what other kids do?" and elaborating, "These teenagers not only drain you of your blood but they also empty your refrigerator." In his mockery of Barack Obama's interview with Fox News, he claimed the number four highlight of the interview was he began a feud over which twilight star is hunkier, Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner.

Kristen Stewart made two stops this morning on the New York City-based talk show circuit, with appearances on both "Today" (pictured) and "Live with Regis and Kelly." In addition to answering the usual "Twilight" mania and "New Moon" setup questions, the actress also talked about playing Joan Jett, indie movies, and made a definitive decision in the Team Jacob versus Team Edward debate. Reiterating the stance she took when speaking with MTV News at the "New Moon" press junket a couple of weeks ago, Kristen told Regis and Kelly that she'd side with the vampire.

Because she's probably had to do this about a gazillion times already, Kristen had her "New Moon" summary down pat. "The really perfect love that we've presented in the first one is completely shattered," she said on "Regis and Kelly" (her outfit? a brown sweater dress). "[Bella's] best friend is a werewolf and her boyfriend is a vampire and they don't like each other very much... She discovers there are different levels of loving someone."

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!' "

Just because it's not October anymore doesn't mean Ellen DeGeneres won't scare the bejesus out of you when you appear on her show. That's what Dakota Fanning learned when she went on "Ellen" Monday afternoon to promote the release of "New Moon." As Ellen asked Dakota's opinion on whether vampires are real, a man dressed as Dracula snuck up behind her with a pair of fake fangs and scared the crap out of her. After the initial shock wore off, Dakota proved to be a good sport and laughed throughout the insta-replay. "You're never safe here," said Ellen.

Before the scare, Dakota did have time to talk about how much she enjoyed playing evil vampire Jane in "New Moon." "It's really kind of one of the first times I've played the bad character, the villain figure in a movie. It was just really great to get to have the red contact lenses and the vampire makeup and get to have an evil persona, a creepy persona."

Robert Buckley literally finds himself in some marginally hot water on tonight's "One Tree Hill." In a teaser that aired last week, Dan Scott (Paul Johansson) is seen drowning Nate's hottie sports agent, Clay (Robert). And, it seems that our most recent Hump Day Hottie is taking this violent turn all in stride.

"Is he drowning? Or is he perhaps giving Clay a swimming lesson?" Robert jokedto us about the events that look to be unfolding tonight after Clay fails to follow through on getting Nate (James Lafferty) a basketball contract. "It could be tough love. No. I'm just kidding. That would be a terrible swimming lesson."

For longtime fans of the series, Dan's violent tendencies won't come as a surprise, but for newer fans this may seem like an interesting road for daddy dearest (who's now a supposed self-help guru) to take. Plus, it raises the question: Is Dan really reformed?
