Taylor Lautner brings a slice of 'New Moon' to Jay Leno

Take it from Taylor Lautner: One of the biggest dangers a teen werewolf can face is, well, a middle-aged cougar.

"Our 'Twilight' moms are -- passionate," Taylor delicately told Jay Leno on a show that was taped Monday before the "New Moon" premiere in Westwood -- and Lautner's grandma was among those in Leno's audience.

Zap2It.com has all the shaking, shimmying, panty-promoting details of how one fortysomething fan expressed her passion. Young Taylor, it seems, has been proffered panties.

Mommy panties.

To us, those sound a lot like granny panties that have managed to convince themselves they're still string bikinis.

The interview and related links are after the jump.
