Who'd a thunk it was possible - a popular blog that describe how they did the ironing, tried to quit smoking, saw a movie or feature half naked pics of Paris Hilton!?

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.
NO CHINKS IN HER ARMOUR!
(The claim, however, is not substantiated by leading blog search and ranking site Technorati which classifies blogs based on the number of incoming links. According to this measure, Xu's blog ranks 47th.)
The 33-year-old blogger has invited 20 fans, selected from online submissions, to her party to celebrate her latest success.
Xu won international acclaim when she won the best director award for Letter From An Unknown Woman at the 2004 San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain.
Huang Ke, an analyst with Sina, told Reuters Xu's website has had two million more hits since July 12 breakthrough.
Writer Han Han, ranked second by Sina, will soon exceed the 100 million mark too, the analyst added.
