Film director Sofia Coppola, who did Lost In Translation, is looking to make a film version of the book Tipping The Velvet, a novel about a theatrical perfomer lady in Victorian times, who has a girlfriend (YES, a LESBIAN girlfriend. EEK!). And the two actresses she has in mind for the lead roles are Eva Longoria from Desperate Housewives, and the Yonce.

Eva told DigitalSpy: "Yes it's true. We are talking about doing the movie together. It's such a wonderful novel, a beautiful love story."

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

And a movie snitch revealed that neither of the future co-stars have a problem with making pretend smoochy with each other either: "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."

In all those petticoats? It's going to be BOILING...
