REPORTER GOES SPEECHLESS COULD BE STROKE RELATED

Reporter Serene Branson is hospitalized after a slurring Grammys speech (video below) last night. CBS2 has yet to confirm if Serene Branson suffered a stroke.

Branson 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 wrote. 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.
Despite reports, CBS has yet to confirm if a medical matter, or a stroke, prompted the condition Sunday. The DailyRecord.co.uk is reporting that “she may have suffered a stroke”, but CBS2 has not confirmed that.
Hope she is ok this wouldn't be good for sweeps.

KEITH RICHARDS IS WHAT A ROCKSTAR SHOULD BE

Now this is my definition of a true rock star. The legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards is telling his stories of sex, drugs and rock & roll in his new biography “Life."

His secret to a long life? Use good drugs..

Many commentators express surprise that Richards has reached the age of 66, given his liberal abuse of almost every kind of illegal narcotic ever created. Richards addresses this, putting his longevity down to his use of the “finest, finest cocaine and the purest, purest heroin” — a combination he famously nicknamed “The breakfast of champions.” He actually gave up heroin in 1979, but carried on using cocaine until 2006. “I’ve done so much bloody blow in my life, I don’t miss it an inch,” he says. “I think it gave me up.”
We all should be so lucky.

ONE CITY BURIED IN TRASH LITERALLY

A garbage strike in Italy has led to public protests, intense finger-pointing, and a whole heckuva lot of trash piling up in the streets of Naples.

So, what's the problem? City trash wasn't being collected because of public outrage over a proposed city dump. The trash piled up, and then protesters just started adding to it, dumping their refuse in the streets. Now the European Union is threatening to slap sanctions on Italy if it doesn't clean up the mess. And you thought New York was bad.

T I HELPS BRING DOWN SUICIDAL VICTIM

Rapper T.I. says the help he gave police in preventing a suicide jump Wednesday had nothing to do with his court hearing Friday, when a federal judge will decide whether to revoke his probation.
V-103's Ryan Cameron noted in an interview with T.I. that "there are going to be some out there who say this timing is quite impeccable, that T.I. would do this, that he saw something to gain for his own situation."

"I'm not taking any credit," T.I. responded. "It could have been resolved in another way. The fact of the matter is God put me in a position, and put in my spirit to be in the position to help, and I can't take any credit for that.
Wednesday afternoon, T.I. said he was pulling out of his driveway and headed to a video shoot. He said he heard on V-103 about the man threatening to jump from 400 Colony Square, the 22-story Midtown building that houses the radio station.
An officer at street level recorded a video message from T.I. and sent it to a negotiator on the roof, who showed it to the 24-year-old man.

T.I. said the message simply stated "that I was here and I was looking forward to meeting him and that no matter what's going on in life now, it gets better."
When the man came down, he spoke to T.I. for about five minutes.
The man was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for evaluation. He will not face charges, Polite said.
This still seems very convenient that T. I. would be on the scene right before he goes back to court. conspiracy maybe.

DRIVE THRU SEX

Time reports that prostitution has become such a problem in Switzerland that Zurich officials have made proposals to add "sex boxes" to the city. The idea itself is adopted from German cities like Essen and Cologne, and will be a way for prostitution to continue on behind closed, uh, doors.
The boxes will serve as quickie drive-throughs, so-to-speak, and will free up city streets from unsightly acts that haunt Zurich residents whose homes overlook the city's red light district. "They get up to all sorts in broad daylight - and we're sick to death of looking at it," one resident told the U.K.'s Metro. (Silvio Berlusconi and the Politics of Sex)
