Serene Branson, the reporter who sparked headlines yesterday after she started speaking gibberish during a Grammy broadcast is reportedly doing okay today, although she is visiting a doctor to get tests done.
The beautiful blonde couldn’t put her words or sentences together when the cameras were on her this week but the seasoned professional has done just fine under pressure in the past. Many were claiming that Serene had experienced a breakdown because of stress and pressure from the popular broadcast but, as you can see in this video from the 2009 Vanity Fair party, Branson does just fine during live broadcasts.
CBS released this statement today:
As many of you know CBS2 reporter Serene Branson experienced some health-related problems last night during our post-Grammys newscast.
She was examined by paramedics on scene immediately after her broadcast. Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized.
As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home. And while Serene says she is feeling better today, she wants us to know she followed-up with a visit to the doctor for some medical tests.
Serene thanks everyone for their concern and good wishes and hopes to be back on the air very soon.
What happened to her during that broadcast was not normal. We’re happy she’s getting tests.
We’ll keep you updated as news is released.
In the meantime, check out the videos of Serene from 2009 and then from this week:

My theory is that she did too much blow while partying with the stars during the pre-show. This is a clear case of coke jaw. CBS took down all of the YouTube videos, but you can still see Serene Branson’s coke habit spiral out of control thanks to my trusty flip cam!

I had a similar incident about 2 years ago. Doctors immediately thought stroke. They later determined it was a urinary tract infection which sometimes causes gibberish.
