BEYONCE TO PLAY LESBIAN LOVER

Beyoncé and Eva Longoria recently revealed they will soon be playing lesbian lovers in the sexy Victorian drama "Tipping The Velvet."

Director Sofia Coppola is hoping to bring Sarah Water's novel about sexual repression to the big screen and is anxious for Beyoncé and Eva to take the roles of 1890s music hall star Kitty Butler, and her lesbian lover Nan Astley. While at a New York benefit for ovarian cancer, Beyoncé said, "We've had 'Brokeback Mountain' so the time is right for this divine novel to get the same treatment."

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."

Not surprisingly, 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.
