Beyonce Knowles and Eva Longoria will play lesbian lovers in a new movie.

The gorgeous stars have revealed they are set to star in sexy Victorian drama Tipping The Velvet.

Eva, one of the stars of hit TV show Desperate Housewives, said: "Yes it's true. We are talking about doing the movie together. It's such a wonderful novel, a beautiful love story."

Director Sofia Coppola is hoping to bring Sarah Water's novel about sexual repression to the big screen and is desperate for Beyonce and Eva to take the roles of a 1890s music hall star, Kitty Butler, and her lesbian lover Nan Astley.

Beyonce, 25, thinks it is time the world was treated to a classic lesbian love story.

The singer, who was speaking at a New York benefit for ovarian cancer, said: "We've had Brokeback Mountain so the time is right for this divine novel to get the same treatment."

Beyonce and Eva are said to be incredibly excited about the steamy love scenes and can't wait for filming on the project to start.

A source revealed: "They weren't at all coy about the sex scenes. In fact they both seemed to think it would be more fun than doing the same work with a man. It's going to be very hot."

The BBC's TV adaptation of Tipping The Velvet caused outrage four years ago with its graphic sex scenes, which included cross-dressing and the use of sex toys.

i think this sounds bad.
I hope the setting gets moved to america, as longoria and beyonce will NOT work in a victorian british setting.

also i hope sofia doesn't write the script as most of the time her dialogue is a bit trite. marie antoinette only worked because there was hardly any dialogue.

It sounds terrible on so many levels.

Wait a minute, I remember Beyoncè slating the Madonna/Britmey kissing thing at the VMAs, saying it was 'unchristian' and that she herslef would never do anything like that. Or is it this time, 'art'?

It'll be art, it'll be her getting to flex her little acting muscle on a risky venture to gain some acting cred. The same goes for longoria.

Although, its probably all conjecture as i can't really imagine beyonce saying 'she can't wait to get hot and horny with eva longoria'.
