Patricia Krentcil

Like a bad sunburn, the ‘Tan Mom’ just won’t go away. Now Patricia Krentcil, aka the "Tan Mom," is at it again, frightening the internet with a video where she jumps on the twerking bandwagon in a last ditch effort to be relevant.

Surely we all remember Patricia Krentcil, the tanned mess from New Jersey who made headlines for bringing her child into a tanning booth. Well, now she's made a music video, because that's the final arc of viral stardom in America.

With 2012 coming to a close, it's time for the annual parade of year end lists. Most of these features will celebrate the best of the past 12 months. However, some of our favorite lists will point out the year's low-lights, because they make us feel better about all the times people screwed up in 2012.

They should've known when they asked Patricia 'Tan Mom' Krentcil to do a show called "Hot Mess" that things were going to get crazy. Krencil clearly took the name of the show to heart, and got kicked out of her own roast for being so drunk that she couldn't even sit through a drag queen variety show.

Patricia Krentcil, aka the 'Tanning Mom,' was charged last month with child endangerment after being accused of allowing her six-year old daughter into a tanning booth, which is against the law in her home state of New Jersey. While Krentcil denies she did this, and insists her daughter's sunburn was a result of a day at the pool, her own deeply-browned skin isn't helping her make her case. Read M

'Tanning mom' Patricia Krentcil has been in the news a lot for her antics and the paparazzi just seem to love her for the same. So when you are outside talking to paparazzi making it clear you're not wearing a bra, chances are the paps are going to love you even more.

'Tanning mom' Patricia Krentcil is running out of places to burn herself to a crisp. According to a report on TMZ, the 44-year-old mother, who allegedly allowed her young daughter to use a tanning bed, has been banned from salons near her Nutley, New Jersey, home. What's a tanning-addicted mom to do?

It's been less than a week since Patricia Krentcil, the freakishly tanned New Jersey mom, was accused of letting her six-year-old daughter use a tanning bed. Since then, she's somehow worked her way into mainstream consciousness, getting mocked on 'SNL' and engaging in a public battle with Snooki from 'Jersey Shore.' Now, Krentcil's pop culture status reaches new heights (or lows, depending upon h

One would think notorious New Jersey tan mom Patricia Krentcil, who stands accused of sneaking her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth, and 'Jersey Shore's' mascot Snooki would be allies, given their mutual embrace of ultraviolet radiation. But, apparently, they are anything but.

Patricia Krentcil made headlines last week after she was accused of sneaking her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth. So, naturally 'Saturday Night Live' had to have Kristen Wiig spoof her on the Weekend Update. The question is, did she pull through the whole skit without cracking a laugh?

Yesterday, we met Patricia Krentcil, who is extremely tan. While this would generally just be an aesthetic problem, it also became a legal issue for the 44-year-old New Jersey woman when her five-year-old daughter told a school nurse that her rash was from when mommy took her to the tanning salon.

Knowing what we do about the health risks associated with tanning beds, it might be a good idea to stay away from them. It's certainly a good idea to keep young children away from the ultraviolet radiation they emit.
