Normal People Who Got Famous For The Most Bizarre Reasons

The world is full of famous people who've become household names. Some of these folks use talent, some use moxie, and others rely on hard work to make their way in the world and become famous. These people… did not do any of that.

Child endangerment isn't generally something to be celebrated. Yet somehow a woman named Patricia Krentcil managed to take her child endangerment charges and become a paparazzi favorite out of the whole situation. That's not to say that Krentcil - who was better known as "Tan Mom" - didn't get into trouble for bringing her then 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth, resulting in burns. Of course, she denied this - as one does.

She was arrested, and banned from more than 60 tanning salons in the New York and New Jersey area.

But amazingly, she became a minor celebrity for her tanning addiction and child endangerment, even becoming a semi-regular on Howard Stern's radio show. The Huffington Post has a lengthy page about Krentcil based on the number of times they've tagged her in articles, because apparently at one point the world needed to know whether or not Tan Mom thought Mitt Romney's tan was real or fake. What a time to be alive, folks.
