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:
Well played, I thought it was weird that you were wearing 2 different outfits
You got me, too! I even set up my DVR to record all of Ellen’s new shows so that I would be sure to see you! I did notice the weird picture of you with Ellen and wondered what was going on, but the Justin Timberlake photo looked fine to me.
you got me good Katie 🙂 although I would love to see on Ellens show <3
Haha – you totally had me going there! Nice =)
I knew there was something wrong with that pic of her and ellen
You totally got me! I was searching through the blog looking for an air date! Even after I looked at the date, I was still thinking the Ellen thing was real! Love your posts, love your alternative dessert recipes, thanks for sharing!!
Omgosh. Totally upset….but the protein milkshake posted here was awesome
All these comments about how people fell for it…it’s so weird. I only just started reading your website the last 3 days prior to April 1st, yet when I saw it. I knew it was a joke. People can’t seriously have believed it…?
Either way, you DID get them it seems, so kudos for ya!
First of all, I love your recipes. I do have a question though. A lot of your recipes call for ground flax. Are there any good substitutes for flax? Thanks!
Urghhh I though you were being for real!!! I still didn’t believe it was a joke until I read through some of the comments.
Awesome trick 🙂
