Tanning Mom, Patricia Krentcil, And Too-Tan Celebrities Who Remind Us To Put On Sunscreen (PHOTOS)

These Too-Tan Celebrities Remind Us To Slather On SPF

One sign that Patricia Krentcil (better known as Tanning Mom) has really made it? SNL spoofed her last weekend and Kim Kardashian tweeted about her this past weekend.
