Chinese actress-turned-director Xu Jinglei became the world's most  
widely read blogger this month when her blog logged 100 million page  
views within about 600 days, the Beijing News said today.

And Xu, who has a reputation for a high intellect and integrity, has  
done it without writing about sex or providing a catalogue of kiss- 
and-tell stories - but focusing on her work and day-to-day life.

The 100 millionth hit occurred on July 12, according to  
www.sina.com.cn, a popular Chinese website which provides blog  
services to many Chinese entertainers, including Xu who started hers  
in October 2005 and published a book of her blogged articles in March  
2006.
