Penélope Cruz sported a professional-looking skirt and blazer combo to a press conference unveiling her Campari calendar at Milan's Hotel Bulgari yesterday afternoon. Later, she changed into a formal red dress to celebrate the "Kiss Superstition Goodbye" calendar at a cocktail party in the city. Yesterday, we got a peek at Penélope in Campari's calendar, which, in honor of the year '13, shows her breaking various superstitions. Penélope's had other business to take care of in Italy too. Penélope attended a press conference for her film Twice Born in Rome last week, and she also promoted the movie on the TV show Che Tempo Che Fa. While Penélope is in Europe, her husband, Javier Bardem, is promoting his latest film, Skyfall. He was just in LA to accept a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Penélope Cruz Tempts Fate For Campari's Red-Hot 2013 Calendar

Penélope Cruz has officially made her debut in Campari's 2013 "Kiss Superstition Goodbye" calendar.

Penélope Cruz has officially made her debut in Campari's 2013 "Kiss Superstition Goodbye" calendar. The Italian spirits brand released 13 images from the limited-edition annual yesterday, all of which feature the Oscar-winning actress participating in superstitious acts like breaking mirrors, walking under ladders, opening umbrellas indoors, and more. Penélope was announced as the calendar's star back in August, and she got to work shooting the then-secret theme in Milan. She recently told Elle magazine that posing for the infamous calendar was like "saying goodbye to fear."

Penélope returned to Italy last week to promote her latest film, Twice Born. She was also on hand to help husband Javier Bardem celebrate the release of Skyfall while he did press for the Bond movie in Paris. Penélope added even more to her workload with news that she's the new face of Spanish leather goods brand Loews, which comes out next week.

    Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz arrived at an airport outside of Paris with their son, Leo, today. The family of three is on the go while Javier promotes Skyfall around the world. He and Daniel Craig hit the red carpet in London yesterday for a royal premiere with Bond girls Bérénice Marlohe and Naomie Harris after also posing at a photocall on Monday. Earlier this month, the costars got together in NYC, where they talked up their latest 007 movie at the Crosby Street Hotel. Javier switched gears to promoting the iconic action role after filming another project, The Counselor, with Penélope, Cameron Diaz, and Michael Fassbender last month. He was able to fit in family time between projects, though, and stepped out for dinner with Penélope's siblings, Monica and Eduardo.
