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:
hook, line and sinker…good one!!
Too funny Katie!! I’m just returning from spring break & you got me. Better late than never! Love your blog, I’ve strongly recommended your recipes to my diabetic father.
Its not even April fools day today and I still totally fell for this. My jaw actually dropped haha.
But I really believed that you had a spot on the show! Your blog is amazing and would be worth the air-time. I hope that one day this joke will actually be a reality for you. 🙂
=D
I was totally fooled, you chocolate-loving amazing beautiful young woman you! 😉
I knew it was a prank because when I read the date and studied the pictures something didn’t seem right but I didn’t know for sure so I read the bottom and I was like I knew it!
Oh sheesh – I’m super behind on your blog and am trying to catch up, so now that it’s MAY – it took me a while to figure out this was an April Fool’s joke. Drat! I was even looking it up on you tube to catch your segment.
When someone writes an post he/she maintains the idea
of a user in his/her brain that how a user
can be aware of it. Thus that’s why this piece of writing is great. Thanks!
Wonderful blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little
lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress
or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Thanks!
LMAO! I’m new to this blog, and this was the 3rd post I’ve read (quitting running, and cinnamon-roll-baked-oatmeal being the first 2), but yea you got me : )
