Longoria and Beyonce to play lovers?
Eva Longoria and Beyonce Knowles are in talks to play lovers in a new movie.

The pair are in negotiatons with director Sofia Coppola for the lead parts in the movie Tipping The Velvet. The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name, by Sarah Waters, and tells the story of a lesbian musician and her partner.

"We've had Brokeback Mountain so the time is right for this divine novel to get the same treatment," Beyonce said.

Longoria added: "Yes it's true, we're talking about doing that. It's such a wonderful novel, a beautiful love story."
