Scandal over boozy performance
Embarrassing! US singer embarrasses herself before MLB show
Unbelievable, but true: Ingrid Andress may have been known primarily in the country music industry or for her surname similarity with Ursula Andress, the first ever "Bond girl", but she has now achieved worldwide fame thanks to a botched performance!
