Guy Ritchie bought Madonna two Hermes drawings for her 50th birthday. The "RocknRolla" director has revealed that, although the pictures were expensive, they cost nothing compared to the lavish party he threw for his wife at exclusive London nightspot Volstead to celebrate her special day earlier this month.

Guy said: "I bought her two original Hermes drawings of equestrian thingies - but, trust me, the party was infinitely more expensive than the paintings."

Madonna has bought 100 pairs of fishnet stockings for her upcoming tour.

The "Give It 2 Me" singer - who turned 50 last weekend - got staff to trawl internet auction site eBay and dance shops for the garments to make sure she has the perfect leg-wear.

Madonna's husband Guy Ritchie paid tribute to her at her 50th birthday celebrations on Saturday.

The director threw a lavish $200,000 party for 90 guests to celebrate his wife reaching the landmark age at the weekend and, in an emotional speech, spoke of his love and pride for the singer.

Madonna is set to adopt again, it has been confirmed.

The singer has renewed her bid to care for three-year-old Mercy James now that her marriage to Guy Ritchie is stronger and Malawian officials say she is "on the cusp" of completing the process.

Madonna has been forced to postpone her 50th birthday celebrations after twisting her ankle.

The "4 Minutes" singer - who reaches the milestone age on Saturday - was set to throw a lavish party at her country estate in Wiltshire, England, but has now postponed the festivities after suffering an injury during rehearsals for her forthcoming world tour.

The British film director, who is battling constant rumors his marriage to Madonna is in trouble, spent the afternoon with Robert and his spouse Susan at the lavish Beverly Hills Hotel.

A source told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Guy was having a low-key meal by the pool with the Downeys. He was eating slowly and seemed dispirited."
