For the second stop of the Glee tour, the cast is going to be at Garden State Plaza, a mall in Paramus, NJ, near NYC. Again, the cast is spending their mornings at each location doing press junkets. Here is a video that was on Good Day New York featuring Lea Michele and Cory Monteith. We will try to keep you updated as the day unfolds.

In possibly related new, Chris Colfer told me: “Well, right now I’m sitting on a window ledge hoping the glass I’m leaning on doesn’t break. Is that blog worthy?” XD

ETA: The TV Divagal had the chance to go the the Garden State Plaza mall event and she has an interesting article, here. In it she talks to Lea Michele and Dianna Agron about who they’d like to see on Glee.
