Though it’s a tradition that’s been going on for hundreds of years, no one is exactly sure how April Fool’s Day got its start. Some believe it originated in France in 1582 when people mistakenly celebrated New Years in April instead of January. Others link April Fool's Day to the unpredictable weather that can fool you this time of year.

Whatever the origin, we can all agree that there’s nothing like a good prank, as long as you’re not the victim. So sit back and enjoy some of the most memorable celebrity April 1st action!

Then read on to learn how you can win a $50 Amazon gift card - and that's no joke!

Last year we saw a pretty epic prank when Rihanna surprised the notorious prankster Jimmy Kimmel by showing up to his house at 1am on April 1st and giving him a private performance while he slept (complete with strobe lights and backup dancers).

Clever News reminds us that a couple of years ago we saw Miley Cyrus and Avril Lavigne go at it as they fought over who was more famous in Canada. The pop singers posted a short video clip to their Instagram on April 1st, 2014 of them pummeling one another. Lavigne later posted a picture to her Twitter captioned “#aprilfools” that shows her about to punch Miley in the face.

Ellen DeGeneres’ idea of a prank seems to be a good scare. She has a history of scaring her guests and on April Fool's Day in 2009 she made Christina Applegate scream in terror not once but twice. The actress was surprised by Ellen hiding in her dressing room before the show. Then during her interview, someone dressed as a fake plant snuck up behind her, inducing another bloodcurdling scream.

And who can forget the time Katie Couric managed one of the most memorable pranks ever on the Late Late Show with James Corden. As Corden introduced Couric, a stunt double appeared at the top of a set of stairs looking like she’s having trouble with her heels. She then goes head over heels, tumbling down each step. Corden rushes over in sheer horror asking if she is okay before the real Katie Couric emerges saying, “April Fool's!”.

My friend gave me a gift card to a store I love and when I went to buy something, the gift card was empty!!! I was really upset and she felt bad about it so she went and put some money on the card.

I like to get people at my workplace by telling them someone called or came to visit while they were at lunch that they had been waiting for all day, week, month, year to contact them.

As my husband was pulling out of the garage on his way to work, I pretended he ran over my foot. He was freaking out!

A coworker turned my monitors on my computer upside down - totally freaked me out! I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Too funny. Don't really have an April Fool's Day joke that sticks out. Guess I'm not around pranksters.

My friends removed all the furniture in my office and hid it in other floor of the office building. I came in next morning to a totally empty room except a stapler.

My favorite was the year at work that we made a fake how-to plan to carve a self-portrait. I was 7 months pregnant at the time, so we stuck a block of wood onto the front of another one.

When I was teaching in early childhood, we used food props to try and trick our little ones! They couldn't believe the "spilled coffee" and tried to clean it up!

I was told to hurry up and come outside to help kill a snake on the side of the house. I rushed outside only to find it was a dumb rubber snake hanging from the vents to scare rats away lol.

One of my best friends was born on April 1. I never forget her birthday! A "friend" called me to tell me I had won a trip to Hawaii. She knew I had entered one. That was cruel.

I always love Google's hoaxes! Last year, it was adding a "PacMan view" to Google Maps. :)
