Robert Pattinson brought mom and pop to NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” (Monday-Friday, 11:35 p.m. ET) on Tuesday, June 15. 

The "Eclipse" star took the couch to talk about the newest movie in the series, whether or not his family believes all of the tabloid gossip, and his dad’s inspiring emails. 

He also found out whether fellow guest Emma Roberts was “Team Edwards” or “Team Jacob.”

After being introduced, Pattinson joked that the “Tonight Show” stage had some “good reverb” referring to the enthusiastic screams from the Twi-hard fans – some of whom had camped outside the Burbank studio to see their favorite vampire. 

Later in the show, fellow “Tonight Show” guest Emma Roberts weighed in on whether or not she was “Team Edward” or “Team Jacob.”

Team Edward or Team Jacob?

JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS  TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 2010

HOW MANY ARE WATCHING THIS WORLD CUP SOCCER?  DID YOU SEE THE BIG SCREW-UP WITH THE U.S. MATCH AGAINST ENGLAND? I GUESS THE BALL HIT THEIR GOALIE RIGHT IN THE HAND AND SKIPPED OFF INTO THE NET.  IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE BRITISH GOALIE HAD OIL ON HIS HANDS.

PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID HE WAS GOING TO USE THE GULF DISASTER TO IMMEDIATELY PUSH A NEW ENERGY BILL THROUGH CONGRESS. I HAVE AN IDEA. HOW ABOUT FIRST USING THE GULF DISASTER TO FIX THE GULF DISASTER.

IF THE OIL INDUSTRY COULD SUCK UP OIL THE WAY THEY SUCK UP TO CONGRESS THE GULF WOULD HAVE BEEN CLEAN A MONTH AGO.

HERE’S AN AMAZING STORY.  A 52 YEAR OLD CONSTRUCTION WORKER, A GUY FROM RIGHT HERE IN CALIFORNIA WAS ARRESTED IN PAKISTAN TODAY; ARMED WITH A PISTOL AND A 40 INCH SWORD.  HE SAID HE WAS ON A MISSION TO CAPTURE OSAMA BIN LADEN.  AT LEAST SOMEBODY IS LOOKING FOR THE GUY.  I GIVE HIM CREDIT.

HE’S A CONSTRUCTION WORKER.  AND HE HAD A BRILLIANT PLAN.  HIS PLAN WAS TO FIND BIN LADEN; BID ON REMODELING HIS CAVE, THEN MAKE THE PROJECT KEEP DRAGGING ON UNTIL BIN LADEN EVENTUALLY KILLED HIMSELF.  THAT WAS SORT OF THE IDEA.

IT SEEMS THE UNITED STATES HAS FOUND OVER A TRILLION DOLLARS OF UNTAPPED MINERAL DEPOSITS IN AFGHANISTAN. HERE’S THE GREAT PART; THE COUNTRY COMES PRE-INVADED.  WE'VE ALREADY INVADED IT.  WE DON'T HAVE TO INVADE AGAIN.

BESIDES DEPOSITS OF IRON, COPPER, COBALT, AND GOLD THEY FOUND THE LARGEST DEPOSITS OF LITHIUM EVER DISCOVERED. MOST OF IT ON LAND CONTROLLED BY TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. WAIT A MINUTE; WASN'T THAT THE PLOT OF AVATAR?

STARBUCKS WILL BE OFFERING UNLIMITED FREE WI-FI AT ALL OF ITS U.S. LOCATIONS STARTING NEXT MONTH. SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT DEAL UNTIL YOU REALIZE YOU JUST PAID TWELVE BUCKS FOR A CUP OF COFFEE.

RESEARCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA HAVE LINKED TANNING BEDS TO BRAIN DAMAGE – THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THIS AFTER WATCHING JUST ONE EPISODE OF "THE JERSEY SHORE".

IT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THAT THE MEMBERS OF DESTINY'S CHILD ANNOUNCED THEY WERE DISBANDING TO PURSUE SOLO CAREERS. A DECISION I THINK WORKED OUT GREAT FOR BEYONCE, WHAT'S HER FACE, AND THAT OTHER GIRL.

ACTUALLY, TWO HITS FROM THE 80'S ARE THE NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER TWO FILMS THIS WEEK.  OF COURSE, THE "KARATE KID," AND THE MOVIE VERSION OF "THE A-TEAM."   AS YOU KNOW, THERE’S ALSO A MOVIE VERSION OF THE "GOLDEN GIRLS." IT’S CALLED, “SEX & THE CITY 2.”
