Celebrities have become the glue of our social. In contemporary society, it is relatively impossible to turn on the television or pick up a newspaper without finding mention of some celebrity and his or her new deeds or misdeeds. This is because of the proliferation of media regarding celebrities. Celebrities are human pseudo-events (qtd. in Boorstin 720)
Living in globalization era, we can clearly see that celebrities now become a massive part of the social media. They also play important role of the whole social media network since they can easily connect with the public than before especially when Twitter becomes so much happening.
Based on David Marshall about the increasing trend that is blurring the lines between public and private self, a huge celebrity contribute to the social media is not necessarily leads to the good influence. Take for example Prince Harry case. ” Prince Harry’s privacy has been invaded. After choosing to show off the crown jewels to a bevy of frolicking maidens in Las Vegas, paparazzi took his naked photo and spread it globally. Besides those conventional photos, public are now get information about a video of his antics is being hawked around for the highest bidder.
So, there is a huge changing from the situation of NO mobile phone and internet can easily spread information globally to ALL media (social media, new media, etc), mobile phones, and other gadgets which support internet service can easily spread information globally and build the whole world knew about it.

Live in Globalization Era 
Good job Pristan. Starting off with photos is always a bonus as it hints to the reader what is to come. Using a recent media issue and photos involved in the media helps visualise the idea that celebrities really are everywhere in the social media world. Discussing the main negative consequences to this style of social media was a good angle to take, however possibly providing a few more points of evidence could do no harm either! Overall it was a decent read
This blog have a good mixture between your thoughts and your supporting data. But there is still an unclear part about what is the correlation between your supporting data or issue and the social media. Is this celebrity issue happen in social media or only on other conventional media. It would be very nice if you could elaborate more comprehensive about this issue that really show on social media
I think your blog post raised some valid points about the impact that social media has on celebrity culture in terms of privacy issues. However, I think you have two very thoughtful arguments but not necessarily a clear definitive answer on whether this current privacy breach is the result of social media or just our societies obsession with learning how the other half live.
