V.GD

Willow Smith’s new music video. She’s NINE!!! (NINE!!!! )

No time to read but want to feel cultured? The re-publication of Felix Feneon’s Three Minute Novels, now with beautiful illustrations by Joanne Nerborsky, should be perfect for your termtime downstairs lav attention span.

Pizza Express have employed a ‘specialist in intimate conversations’ to train their waiters to flirt. Why yes we will have some pepper with our pizza...

‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ - we venture with her batshit family into the wilderness and learn that "This is flippin’ fun ...I’d rather be doing this than in some stuffy old political office! " (debuts next month: watch the hilarious trailer now)

Hitting a 12 year old in the face is just not acceptable, Justin Bieber. Even if Laser Quest is getting serious.

M.I.A. wearing a burqa (on which she’d printed the lyrics to her own song XOXO) on the red carpet before changing into hotpants for the show. X-O-X-No.

Support Varsity

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!

Therefore we are asking our readers, if they wish, to make a donation from as little as £1, to help with our running costs. Many thanks, we hope you can help!
