Beyonce to star in lesbian flick with Eva Longoria
13 November 2006
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.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.
