It’s promotion time, and for this go-around Jay Leno’s got Robert Pattinson.

A source close to the production tells Gossip Cop, Pattinson will be on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on June 15 to promote Eclipse.

Last time around, while promoting New Moon, Pattinson appeared on rival “Late Show with David Letterman,” where the talk show host famously told the Twilight star, “Oh, bite me,” when Pattinson said he’s been “cryptically avoiding” answering whether he’s dating Kristen Stewart.

Hopefully, Leno will get more out of Pattinson this time around.

As the “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” premiere approaches, key dates in the promotion schedule continue to be confirmed.

Supplemental to yesterday’s feature (which listed key June dates for Twilight fans and some U.S. appearances), here is some developing info on the promotional tour abroad:

May 31: Sydney, Australia. Kristen and Taylor will be present for a Q&A event in Luna Park. The event will be run by Richard Wilkins but will be broadcast live via satellite from Sydney’s Luna Park into selected Hoyts cinemas.

June 3: Seoul, Korea. Kristen and Taylor are slated to arrive on the 2nd; Pan Cinema has announced a press conference, a “red carpet appearance”, and a fan meet and greet at a special meeting on June 3rd.

June 17: Rome, Italy. Eagle Pictures confirmed, via its web site today, that Kristen and Taylor are now set for an appearance in Rome. Few additional details are available .

June 21: Stockholm, Sweden. The official twilight web site in Sweden announced that Taylor and Kristen would visit Stockholm on June 21st. Though a media press conference has been announced, details of any fan events have not been definitively confirmed.

June 28. Madrid, Spain. According to Aurum Producciones, Ashley Greene and Xavier Samuel are slated to appear in Madrid to promote “Eclipse”. Already scheduled are a press conference and a session for fans to meet the actors.

Berlin, Germany. The final city that has been mentioned as part of the European tour is Berlin Germany, though no date has been confirmed.

Due to Rob’s shooting schedule for “Water for Elephants”, he will be absent for most “Eclipse” promo engagements that take place far outside of LA. In contrast to the “New Moon” promotion, which featured the three principal stars heavily, for “Eclipse” Kristen and Taylor will mostly be on their own.

A world exclusive clip of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will debut at tonight's National Movie Awards, Digital Spy has learned.

The footage will allegedly be delivered by secure escorted courier just hours before the ceremony begins at London's Royal Festival Hall.

Eclipse, opening in the UK on July 9, is nominated for the 'Most Anticipated Movie Of The Summer' honour at the NMAs, while New Moon and franchise stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are up for the 'Fantasy' and separate 'Performance Of The Year' gongs respectively.

The National Movie Awards will air tonight from 8pm on ITV1. Stars including Tom Cruise, Diane Kruger, Chris Rock, Emma Watson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Daniel Radcliffe are expected to attend.

Add Charlie Bewley to the list of Twilight stars who thinks Breaking Dawn should—and will—be made into two movies.

"The book is so heavy in terms of what happens and all the events," Bewley, who plays Volturi vampire Demetri, tells me from the set of a movie he's been filming in Moscow. "I think it's inevitable."

In fact, Bewley says, the first cut of New Moon was significantly longer than the two-hour version released in theaters…

"They had like a three-hour cut of the movie that didn't make it," Bewley tells me. "It had to get cut down—even though I'm sure everyone would have loved to have seen a three-hour New Moon."

When asked about the fascination surrounding Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's off-camera relationship, Bewley insists he doesn't understand the obsession.

"I have a way of answering the question," he says. "It's like, ‘What did Rob say when you asked what I had for breakfast this morning?' Number one, he doesn't know, and number two, he doesn't give a f--k.

"That's kind of the same way I feel about Rob and Kristen," he continues. "I think they're great and both really cool, but I don't care if they're together or not."

As for Bewley's own romantic life, the 29-year-old Brit admits, "I'm not dating anyone. I feel like an asexual right now. It's kind of depressing. If you've got any hot chicks, throw them my way."

But it's not like he isn't getting attention from females these days. A Twi fan recently sent him a link on Twitter to a photo of her getting a tattoo of his face on her thigh. "What do I say to her?" Bewley asks. "Thank you very much? Look forward to seeing you? I don't know what to say."
