German term or phrase: DJ BoBo zeigt sein Leben bei Pinterest
Hi,

So there is this guy, some celebrity from the German-speaking countries, an artist or something like that.

And he like shows us how he rolls on like this social network - in pictures.

I need something crisp and at least somewhat concise.

Would something like "His life in pictures - DJ BoBo on Pinterest" work?

"In the limelight - DJ BoBo on Pinterest"?

The trouble is that, as is the case each time they book us for marketing material, they want it to still be accurate (this is from a trademark law case and is meant to drive the lawyer's point home) - -- so please give preference to (possibly creative) translation over transcreation --.

American English.

Best regards,

Explanation:
I'm not really clear about the context, but this should fit the bill whether it's marketing or trademark law.

  -> 'Expose' sounds equal or better than 'reveal', but 'shares his life' seems a bit staid. But then again, so is the German..
