The famed Nutley native told the Today Show, "I'd like to go to bed with somebody."
Are you a straight man of means in his autumnal years interested in home crafts and decorating and willing to overlook an insider trading-related conviction or two? Because we might just have the gal for you. Martha Stewart is single and now using digital tools to help her mingle. This morning, the CEO and Nutley native announced on the Today Show she had signed up for the match-making site Match.com, the New York Daily News reported. Stewart said she is not looking for a soulmate, but said she'd "like to have breakfast with somebody, I'd like to go to bed with somebody." That somebody, she said, needs to be "energetic, outdoors-ish and "really smart." Not surprising for someone who built a worldwide, multiplatform empire, the 71-year-old…

Patricia Krentcil tells InTouch magazine she'll portray ordeal after she was accused of allowing her five-year-old daughter into tanning booth.
A published report Wednesday says the Nutley “Tanning Mom,” who was accused last year of bringing her five-year-old daughter into a tanning booth, told InTouch magazine she’ll star in a new movie based on her ordeal. Patricia Krentcil said she was “going to portray everything that’s happened,” including the stress and “mental abuse” suffered by her family, the report said. Late last week, an Essex County grand jury decided not to indict Krentcil on child endangerment charges for the incident. At that time, Krentcil told NBCnewyork.com she planned on moving to London to pursue “several modeling jobs” before returning to her Nutley home.

Nutley mom's arrest and appearance leaves many shaking their heads.
What a crazy week it was for Patricia Krentcil. The 44-year-old Nutley mom became infamous nationwide for a scandal that started because she was accused of letting her five-year-old daughter go into a tanning booth with her. Police arrested Krentcil, who also had an oustanding warrant, after the little girl allegedly complained of being burned. Since then Krentcil has appeared on national television and in publications around the United States. And the public has started to question the issue of what appears to be excessive tanning and whether or not it's safe for children to be allowed at tanning salons.
