Gwyneth Paltrow has bought Madonna racy underwear and sex toys from luxury lingerie brand Agent Provocateur. The 'Iron Man' actress is desperate to cheer up her close friend - who announced she was divorcing Guy Ritchie, her husband of almost eight years, in October - and decided the X-rated gifts would be perfect.

A source said: "Gwyneth just wants to see a smile on her face. She has even bought Madonna some sexy Agent Provocateur underwear and toys."

Gwyneth - who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin - is also planning a special girls-only weekend with her pal, which she hopes will allow her to forget her personal troubles.

The source added: "She has also planned a special break for her and Madonna, which will take place mostly in London. "

The weekend will include some low-key nights at top eateries and bars, followed by a spa break, probably at Babington House in Somerset."
