Sydney - There's an Obama blend at Campos Coffee in the hip Sydney suburb of Newtown, and on Wednesday, proprietor Will Young and his baristas were serving little else.

"The boss is a big fan of Barack Obama," Young said over the hiss of Italian machines that kick out 800 cups a day. "There's no McCain blend here."

And there were precious few Senator John McCain supporters at Sydney University's Manning Bar, where a sell-out crowd of 1,200 not only watched but appeared on CNN coverage of the US presidential election won by Senator Obama.

"We weren't expecting the size of this victory," said US expatriate Jesse Dart. "It was pretty much all over before we got to the West Coast."

London, Nov 5 : Obituaries from the 18th Century sparked ''modern celebrity celebrity'', researchers from Warwick University have claimed.

They say that public fascination with celebrity figures can be traced back to the rise of newspapers and magazines in the 18th Century and their popular obituaries section.

Obituaries gave an account of the lives of high profile personalities, who became the objects of scandal and public fascination, or the first "celebrities".

It is widely believed that the ''modern celebrity'' was born with the Romantic movement of the early 19th century, but now researchers have challenged that notion, insisting the cult of the celebrity began a century earlier.
