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!”.

I love food pranks, but putting replacing the middle of Oreos with toothpaste is just going too far :)

Our daughter got us good one year. She told us something was wrong with a ceiling fan in her bedroom..that it just wouldn't turn on. So I went in her room and turned it on. Low and behold, CONFETTI BLEW ALL OVER THE ROOM!!!

We bought a house and moved in on March 31. On April 1, the first morning we were waking up in the house, we called the owner of the old house and said we had not moved out after all. There's more to the story but it was a "gotcha" moment for sure.

One of my bosses one year made a new schedule for everyone, basically giving everyone horrible hours, and she handed it out really angrily saying she didn't want to hear any complaints about it and such. One of my co-workers got so mad she almost quit. So the next year, to get my boss back, she did "quit". She handed them a typed up resignation letter and everything, and they fell for it! I thought both were pretty good!

My brother called me and asked if my refrigerator was running. And he insisted that I go check and make sure. So I did in all seriousness. Then when he asked me again if it was running and i said yes, he said then I better hang up and go after it. Its a dumb joke, but it makes me giggle every time.

My friend told me she was pregnant on April 1st a few years ago and I thought she was joking. Turns out she wasn't!

Teacher pranks are very memorable to me, especially in elementary school. They would make us sit in the hall and think we were in trouble only to come back to something goofy in the classroom, or we would have an obscure drill (a drill that isn't a fire drill or tornado drill). One teacher had us standing on one leg on our desks.

One year I left a hair tie on the sink sprayer and completely forgot about it once I had gotten home from school. Luckily my mother was the first to use it and it was hilarious!

I had my sister on speakerphone while I told my husband I was leaving him. It was a prank, and my sister was dying of laughter while my husband was nearly in tears. It was kind of awful of me, until my sister and I both shouted, APRIL FOOLS!! I felt bad after, because my hubs was so upset... but if you knew what he'd done to me in April Fool's past, maybe it wasn't so terrible! ;)

I prank my kids every year when i wake them up. I open the door really fast and yell OMG you're late for school. Hurry...get up! They jump out of bed so fast! It's hilarious!
