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.
Link of the Day:
Wow! What an honor! That must have been so much fun. I can’t wait to watch it, whenever that may be!
What a perfectly perfect April Fools 🙂 Love it!
Hahaha…I am waay to stupid! I entirely forgot about April Fools Day!!!!
ummm yeah…I first thought that photo looked a little photoshopped, but I kept reading and definitely fell for it!
good one 🙂
Yep. Totally fell for this until the Justin Timberlake part hahaha.
HA! Just like everyone else who read this, I too was so excited to see that you were going to be on the Ellen show before realizing it was an April Fools joke! But you know what? I think you would be a WONDERFUL guest on the Ellen show for real! You have a super popular blog, amazing desserts AND the fact that you are vegan for the animal’s sake are ALL reasons why I (and everyone else!) would LOVE to see you on Ellen! I hope Ellen sees this post and has you on the show! It could happen!!!!! 🙂
Ha! I was thinking JT must have REALLY been in a hurry, as he looked quite annoyed that you wanted a picture. Nice one.
Little disapointted here hon, here I was thinking wow, here she’s come so far and worked so hard and now she is getting to do something awesome.
What the heck is spelt flour?
Thats so not funny! I read this post today and before i even read the whole post i went on youtube to find her channel to see your segment! Then when it wasnt there i read your full post. OMG!!!! That was a great april fools joke, but im actually sad now!!!
