Noting April's arrival, we asked celebs about the best pranks that they'd played and had played on them -- and found they give as good as they get.
JENNY McCARTHY ''I had my sister write a note to my husband that she'd developed feelings for him. He freaked out.''
PATRICIA HEATON (''Everybody Loves Raymond'') ''Last April Fools' Day, I told Ray I thought he was a really good actor.''
MARLEE MATLIN (''The West Wing'') ''My husband told me he hit a pedestrian with his car and drove over the body. He had me bawling until he yelled, 'April Fools'!'''
SCOTT FOLEY (''Felicity'') ''We were doing a medical scene. The sound guy put a fart machine under the table [Keri Russell] was lying on. I thought it was her. She thought it was me. It was horrible.''
MOBY ''I've ordered taxis at 2 a.m. for someone and said, 'When you get to the house, start honking until I come out'; enrolled people in computer dating services; and ordered someone 10 Porta-Johns for a 6 a.m. delivery.''
MARLA SOKOLOFF (''The Practice'') ''A friend got me to eat some green tea ice cream -- but it was wasabi. My mouth is still on fire.''
ROBERT PICARDO (''Star Trek: Voyager'') ''My friend Joe Pantoliano [''The Sopranos''] pretended to be the talent coordinator for 'The Tonight Show' and spent 15 minutes on the phone with me trying to book me a spot.''
CHAZZ PALMINTERI (''Down to Earth'') ''[As kids in the Bronx] we got a dummy and put eight bottles of ketchup in the arms, brought it up to the roof, screamed, and threw it off. I was worried because people were fainting.''
MARG HELGENBERGER (''CSI'') ''On the set, a couple of guys were slapping this baby around, but it turned out to be a doll.''
JASON BIGGS (''Saving Silverman'') ''I'd love to [pull a] prank, but I'm always so nervous that people are gonna get upset. I'm totally neurotic and insecure.''
