Todd Bridges’ time on Celebrity Big Brother resembled something he sees regularly: A blood pressure chart. He initially lay low while simultaneously getting in with some of the power players. He then became one when he started to win competitions late in the game, which suddenly put him on the radar of his allies. After declaring war on the other side of the house, he ended up on the losing side after mounting an impressive but ultimately short resistance campaign....

Whether it is their films, books, songs, TV shows or the way they play sports, their lives have impacted us in deep ways. They pulled at our heartstrings. They inspired us to challenge ourselves. They made us cry and laugh, sometimes all at once. Even if we don’t know them personally, the connection is there and so is the loss. “Entertainers and famous people give voice to unarticulated thoughts.

It’s not the only invite-only app to exist—though most others are dating apps—but Clubhouse is also inherently different in the way people use the app. After all, there’s no text—no captions, line-by-line forums, or commenting options. Clubhouse is all audio. Apart from being audio-based, it’s the exclusivity factor that is creating all the more intrigue around the mysterious app. What is Clubhouse? What’s the point of Clubhouse?
