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."

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

The source said: "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."
