INGER WATCH: Pop Eye has already noted that Nymphs lead singer Inger Lorre (a) urinated last year on a Geffen Records executive’s desk to show her displeasure over their album producer’s being borrowed to work on the Guns N’ Roses project and (b) stuffed live maggots into her mouth a few months ago for the band’s first video.
Now add:
(c) Lorre capped the band’s performance at the recent L.A. Music Awards by removing her pink tank-top (which bore the words Media Whore ) to reveal a see-through body stocking with only small black pasties keeping her from being effectively naked from the waist up.
(d) During the band’s appearance last weekend at the Marquee club in Westminster, Lorre, a Geffen Records publicist acknowledged, stopped the show, declared that her voice was giving out, summoned her boyfriend out of the audience, pulled down his trousers and began to perform oral sex on stage.
Lorre’s sex act touched off a melee in the club as audience members pressed forward to--ah-- see , and orange-shirted Marquee staff security men struggled to gain control of the stage.
A few audience members reacted with outrage--one of them heaving a beer bottle toward Lorre and her partner. Other fans began to slam-dance, which the club prohibits, and Marquee security men dragged several of them off.
After several minutes the scene calmed. Lorre returned to the microphone and crowed: “That’s how a nice Catholic girl gets her voice back. Don’t it sound so much better?”
Publicist Lisa Gladfelter, who was at the show, said that Lorre had hinted beforehand that she had something outrageous planned. After the band finished playing, Gladfelter hustled Lorre into a white limousine--just as police arrived. Police said later that it was just a routine patrol stop and that no call had been made to them, and that no action is planned. So far, record buyers haven’t shown much action either. “The Nymphs” has yet to crack Billboard magazine’s Top 200 pop album chart.
