Hollywood stars are always making headlines and April Fool’s Day, America’s favorite day to pull pranks, was no different.
A number of TV stars took to social media to pull one over on fans, posting funny (and not-so-funny) tricks. It got so crazy that even the most astute followers were left scratching their heads wondering, could this be real?
Check out the best celebrity pranks from April 1:
Arie and Lauren
The most recent—and controversial—Bachelor star shared a photo of a woman with a baby bump, clearly suggesting that new fiancée Lauren is pregnant.
He then clarified that it was a prank but some social media users weren’t amused.
“You both are disgusting. As someone who struggles with fertility and would love nothing more than to have a baby this is so offensive,” one person wrote.

Well, the man behind them, Miranda, joked that he’s working on a musical adaption of Tommy Wiseau’s cult movie The Room—also the subject of James Franco’s award-nominated film, The Disaster Artist.

The Swap
The Bachelor host Chris Harrison and American Idol frontman Ryan Seacrest have each been the aforementioned respective show’s hosts for many years. But what if they switched places?
In a series of fun promos, Harrison took a crack at Ryan’s famous line “This is American Idol.” So, will Seacrest now be assisting in the rose ceremonies?
