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!”.

A guy at work always leaves his keys on his desk so on 04/1, my friend took the keys and moved his car, so naturally, he thought it was stolen and totally freaked out.

One year I posted a notice in the break room at work about a food fight. Nobody took a break at the scheduled time AND the fridge got cleaned out. ROFL

I was honestly never big on pranks during April Fools. I can't say I remember one time where I was pranked or that I pranked someone.

During a shift at work we found our manager keys. There was a mannequin that was found in the attic. So we took the mannequin and put it in our managers car. When we all walked out late at night our manager freaked out because he thought someone was in is car. It was the best April Fools joke I have ever participated in!

I gave birth to my last daughter on April 8th, but she was a wonderfully unexpected accident, and at the time I wasn't near any family. So we kept her secret. On April Fool's we called our families and told them the joyous news, and of course no one believed us, until they saw the pictures of her cute little face! Greatest prank ever, yet it was real! The look on grandpa's face was priceless!

When my husband heard a loud noise while my grandson and I were placing an air-conditioner in the window, he came upstairs and asked, "What was that?" It being April 1st, I could not resist. I answered, "Oh, actually, that was the air-conditioned falling out of the window - and unfortunately it landed on your car." He rushed to the window, almost having a heart attack on the way! (Of course, I was just busting him.)

I would love to pull off an April Fools joke on my husband, but I don't have much of a poker face, and I'm a terrible liar, so I've never been successful at playing a joke or prank.
