‘New Moon’ Star Dakota Fanning Talks Cute Italian Boys And ‘Runaways’ On Jay Leno
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.”
Eventually it was time for Mickey to debut his trailer for his very own “Twilight” follow-up, “Newer Moon.” Mickey played a vampire/werewolf/fairy hybrid that pined over a distant Kristen Stewart, and while he did look pretty darn good without his shirt on, I think I’ll be saving my money for “New Moon” instead. With that all said and done, it was Dakota’s turn to talk “Twilight”
