LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Serene Branson was not hospitalized and did not suffer a stroke last night. Serene Branson attempted to provide a news recap of last night’s Grammy Awards. But after a night of peculiar stage performance and red carpet antics, Serene Branson like many viewers was lost for words. Despite delivering an unintelligible report that prompted Los Angeles viewers’ concerns, and even incorrect British news reports, Serene Branson was fine, just a bit nervous.

The Grammys have never been known for outlandish antics as bizarre as MTV’s music awards. Last night, the Grammys changed that.

The evening started with Lady Gaga arriving in an egg. News reporters covering the red carpet action were unsure what to call the Gaga-mobile, some calling it a “pod”, others an “egg dress”. And unlike any previous meat dress, this year’s Gaga “outfit” got hatched.

Then there was Cee Lo Green and Gwyneth Paltrow Grammys duet in which Green appeared in some bird inspired psychedelic creation that seemed to have just raided Elton John’s closet. Muppets provided backup.

The evening ended in a series of big Grammy surprises. Esperanza Spalding beat out Drake and Justin Bieber for best new artist. Spalding told news after her win that “I take this honor to heart so sincerely, and I will do my damndest to make a whole lot of great music for all of you.” Arcade Fire pulled off the biggest win, nabbing Album of the Year for “The Suburbs”, beating out Eminem, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.

But when the telecast was over, local affiliate CBS2’s turned to Serene Branson to recap the night of bizarre outfits and stunning upsets. She was simply lost for words.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Reporter Serene Branson is fine after a slurring Grammys speech (video below) last night. CBS2 reporter Serene Branson was reportedly checked initially by medical personnel following the CBS2 broadcast but has since confirmed that she is fine.

Branson (photos below) appeared live for CBS 2 News Los Angeles, covering the telecast. During the post-telecast recap, a CBS2 studio anchor sent the report to Branson who appeared outside the Los Angeles venue in a full winter’s jacket.

Branson appeared calm, smiling, and apparently fine. But shortly after she began speaking, it was apparent something had clearly gone wrong. With the exception of “very”, not one word in her sentence was intelligible. Branson’s facial reaction changed from smiles to frustration as she realized she was apparently unable to formulate a word.

The DailyRecord.co.uk incorrectly reported that “she may have suffered a stroke”. Instead, it was just a case of the nerves.

As the Daily News has updated , contrary to a news “report from London’s Daily Telegraph that she was hospitalized, Branson may have merely been checked by EMT personnel and sent home with a friend, according to Kristin Cruz, co-host of the Mark & Kristin Show on KOST 103.5 in Los Angeles.”
