Graphing Celebrity Data from Media Orchard - Jessica Simpson Really is BIG

Via Media Orchard Post on US Weekly Photos, via U. N. Spacey, we get some interesting celebrity stalking consumer celebrity preference data that needed some charting.  Here is the data:

Celeb	Photos	Gender
Jessica Simpson	209	Female
Jennifer Aniston	183	Female
Angelina Jolie	98	Female
Paris Hilton	95	Female
Nicole Richie	90	Female
Lindsay Lohan	89	Female
Brad Pitt	87	Male
Britney Spears	69	Female
Nick Lachey	61	Male
Katie Holmes	51	Female

The gender graph is also interesting to point out in light of the recent PEW Internet report indicating that women are the majority of Internet users.  Either there is a difference in the sort of thing people search for (No WAY!) or perhaps women also buy based on female photos and lead stories.  But if that were true then People and Vogue would mostly have women on the cover.  A clear case of gender in advertising bias. Um....er....  So much for Marlon Brando.  Zeitgeist backs this theory up as well in that while Internet searchers may be mostly female, but like women's suffrage, there is no gender loyalty and everyone thinks for themselves regardless. (Although men apparently don't search for men much despite the PEW report never mentioning sex in their report).

Now, if Media Orchard can define the publicists of ALL of the celebrities it would be interesting to see the same gender chart for the publicists.  Or rather, the professional counsels on public relations for the entertainment industry.

And speaking of social software, a minor but relevant feedback loop that supports the photos in US Weekly is from this page on style: http://www.style.com/peopleparties/search/

style.com's most-clicked celebrities

Beyoncé Knowles >
Chloë Sevigny >
Jennifer Lopez >
Paris Hilton >
Sarah Jessica Parker >

As is the case frequently with public relations, this post asks more questions than it answers.  But at least we have some visual graphing to help our visual brains process the questions.

Cool...

As the HUSBAND of an US Weekly subscriber, I can offer a simple explanation for the gender inequality: the magazine is aimed at women, and most of the photo features (eg, "Fashion Police, " "Who Wore It Best") exclude men categorically. So for Brad Pitt to make the showing he did, he had to be intangled with TWO of the three most popular female celebs... It's just not fair, is it?
