Canalis also went on to do three topless calendars. And she was a roaring success. Her 2003 Max calendar was the best-seller of the season, according to an Italian publisher's stats – and, according to rumors, the cause of her breakup with her boyfriend of three years, former soccer star Christian 'Bobo' Vieri.
