The Celebrity Michigan Really Wants at Thanksgiving Dinner This Year

Thanksgiving — that magical time of year in Michigan when families gather to overeat, debate the correct way to make stuffing, and, to avoid political conversations, gossip about celebrities as if we personally invited them to bring a dish. And according to BetMGM's new Google Trends analysis, there is one clear celebrity most Michiganders would like to pass the yams to.

Michigan's pick is genuinely unique to the Mitten State, but across the country, Britney Spears reigns supreme as the celebrity most likely to dominate Thanksgiving table talk. Yep, the Princess of Pop is back on top — and with 81% of America's attention, she's clearly bringing more than just cranberry sauce to the party. Following her are Will Smith, still slapping his way into the conversation with a strong second-place finish (78%), and Adele, whose emotional ballads are perfect for the "we should do this every year" speech that ends in tears and pumpkin pie.

More than two decades after 8 Mile, he's still the talk of the table. So while the rest of the nation might be chatting about Adele's memoir, Michigan's Thanksgiving convo sounds more like, "Loved you in Happy Gilmore 2!"
