Rihanna, and it wasn’t even close. Rihanna’s image was tagged almost 2x as much as the second most popular celebrity in ‘09, Lady GaGa.

Coming off the heals of another celebrity tagging job I thought it would be interesting to take a different look at the data. So I set out to answer a couple of simple questions. First, what is the typical “mood” of a celebrity in the photos taken? Second, are there more female or male celebrities photographed? I’ll answer the question of “Most” photographed celebrity of 2009 in a special New Year’s Eve post tomorrow.

Celebrity Moods
As you can see most the overwhelming mood of photographed celebrities is Happy - 59% and Sexy - 25%. I guess we’d all feel happy and sexy if we were rich and famous. Chart below…

Celebrity Photo Gender Distribution
As you can see female celebrities have their photos taken roughly 12% more often than their male counterparts. The only surprise here is that there’s not a bigger discrepancy. I blame the Twilight Phenomenon of 2009. I think we tagged a million images of Robert Patinson and Taylor Lautner this year.

We’ve been photo tagging celebrities recently so I though it’d be fun to post a tag cloud from the recent batch of images. Apparently Rihanna, Pattinson and someone named Gaga are popular these days - who would have know? I don’t see Madonna or Clinton anywhere…what decade is it anyway?

We’re going to continue to post these tag clouds from our photo tagging service every couple of days so keep posted they can be a lot of fun. I think I will do one for emotional tags and then maybe one from a marathon that we are going to be tagging.

I’d bet a million dollars that the number one emotional tag from the marathon will be “miserable” - but that’s just my opinion. Don’t take offense my running friends you know I say that out of respect. I can run fast but not very far
