Instagram: When the midlife crisis kicks in: the stars' New Year's greetings

One of the great things about social media is that you can get up close and personal with the stars and see a lot of the details of their lives. This can sometimes be very informative, especially at the turn of the year: you can see how actors, presenters and other celebrities spend the last hours of the year. Is not that great?

The big disadvantage of social media is that you can be very close to the stars and get a lot of details from their lives. Things you might not have seen at all. It has been known for a long time that Heidi Klum is in a way a marriage for three, in addition to husband Tom, his brother Bill Kaulitz can often be seen in the photos. But that the three of them also climb into the pool together at the turn of the year - you didn't necessarily have to know that.

Actor Martin Brambach (Dresden "Tatort") also seems to have spent the turn of the year in the warm water. At least the 55-year-old posted a photo on New Year's Eve that showed him relaxing in the open-air pool with the words: "The turn of the year can come."

Dieter Hallervorden also seems to be well prepared. The comedian even went under the lyric poets for his New Year's greetings and explained in rhyme how he intends to protect himself from the noise of the firecrackers. Sometimes there is a fine line between funny and embarrassing.

Meanwhile, Boris Becker is doing well again after his release from prison, which he served for insolvency offenses. Which he was certainly granted after the long time behind bars. But the fact that he has nothing better to do than posting a video of the beach in São Tomé and boasting about his long-distance trip - that may not go down well with all of his fans.

The doubts as to whether the three-time Wimbledon winner really learned something from his bankruptcy - they should not have been reduced by this Instagram post.

Again, the existence of social media isn't always an advantage, and whether stars always do well to share so much of their lives is in the eye of the beholder.
