Taylor Lautner will be a busy guy Nov. 16, when ‘Twilight: New Moon’ premieres in Los Angeles.

But the red carpet might have to wait for Lautner, aka Jacob: Just hours before the movie screens, he’ll be taping ‘The Jay Leno Show’ live, Gossip Cop has confirmed.

And after the credits roll and the after-parties die down, he’ll head east, first to Tennessee for a charity event on Nov. 17 and then to New York to do the rounds on ‘Today’ and “Live with Regis and Kelly.”

I expect the line for Leno tickets already wraps from the Universal lot all the way over to Jay’s old digs in Burbank by now. Good luck getting in, Twilighters.
