Eva Longoria learning sign language - Monsters and Critics

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is reportedly learning sign language in a bid to reach out to her deaf fans.

The Hollywood actress, who recently launched her own cookery book Eva's Kitchen, decided she wanted to learn sign language so she could communicate with more of her fans.

Speaking at Sunday's 9th Annual GLAD Benefit Extravaganza, which was held in honour of those who have problems hearing, in Hollywood, California, the 36-year-old said: 'I've had a lot of deaf people who have bought my book and I've been able to talk to them about what my favourite recipe is and what to cook.'

It comes in the same week that it was revealed that Lady Gaga, 25, is also learning sign language.
