Sorry for the lack of new posts lately… It has been a CRAZY weekend!
As I mentioned a few days ago on the blog, my world was turned completely upside-down last week when I received an email from a writer for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, wanting to know if I was interested in being a guest on their “15 Minutes of Fame” segment.
!!!!!
Was I interested? Were they kidding?!
I stared at that email over and over again, thinking there was no way it could be real. And even now, I still can’t believe it actually happened!
On Wednesday night I flew to California, and the next morning a car took me to the Warner Bros. Studio, where I was met by a wonderful lady (named Sandy), who first gave me a quick tour of the studio. I followed her in a daze, and when she introduced me to Ellen, I don’t even remember what I said. I was so nervous!
The segment was taped in front of a live audience: we talked about the blog, about chocolate, about being vegan, and about Ellen’s favorite dessert in the whole world. But I’m not going to tell you what her favorite dessert is… you will have to wait and find out when the show airs. 
After the interview, they led me backstage, and Justin Timberlake—also a guest on the show—was standing right there in front of me! (Was this real life?) I almost screamed… or maybe I really did scream. Yikes embarrassing. He didn’t have time to chat (a good thing, because there’s no way I would’ve said anything coherent at that point), but he was kind enough to pose for a quick photo:
If you are the type of person who doesn’t usually pay attention to the date, and if the waxy perfectness of Justin Timberlake’s skin in the above photo didn’t immediately give it away, you might want to check the date at the top of this post. It should clear a few things up.

Hahahaha, Katie! Good one! You totally got me!
OK….I’m a gullible idiot!? I’m just going to pretend this IS true&therefore it WILL be…one day! I knew the JT part was a joke,but made perfect sense to me that you would FINALLY be on Ellen! I’m UNSUBSCRIBING from your website now,due to the cruelness of your “joke”! APRIL FOOLS!
aw lol 🙂
One more thing…I knew Ellen was in Australia&did think it weird that you said you were introduced to her…hmmmm….my gullibility meter definitely needs recalibrating! It will take me a while to get over this one,Katie….you cheeky naughty girl!
Katie, you got me!!!! Great prank!!!!!
Happy April Fools! Isn’t Madame Trusseu’s awesome?
That is so cool! No, never mind…. not funny!! I have been falling for these all morning!
Katie, you’re hilarious!
When will the show air? Congrats, that is super cool that you got on Ellen! I can’t wait to see it and show my whole family!
This was the first joke I actually fell for today. Dang it!! haha
Oh my gosh! I was so fooled! But then, while I was reading it through the middle, I ran to my sister and sai “Oh my gosh! Chocolate Covered Katie was on Ellen!” And she was like “whaaat?!” and theeen I remembered today was April1, and I said “Aw, nope, it was probably an April Fool’s Joke.” You got us! Haha!
