Last night, Eminem debuted his new video for "Love the Way You Lie", a story about a couple grappling with domestic violence, featuring none other than Rihanna, who certainly knows a thing or two about that subject.
The video features Megan Fox, who donated the proceeds from the video to a women's shelter, and Dominic Monaghan as a doomed couple whose violence escalates, while Rihanna and Eminem perform in front of a burning house.
"I think we tried as hard as we could to not glorify the violence, to try and explain that this was a relationship that is by no means ideal and a relationship that probably should have ended a lot sooner than it did," Monaghan told MTV. "The concept of 'Love the Way You Lie' was essentially a look at the relationship that Eminem was in with his wife, Kim, so I kind of felt like I was playing Eminem a little bit, and Megan Fox was kind of playing Kim."
In fact, not only does Monaghan channel Eminem with his own shaved head, but Megan Fox looks a little like Monaghan's girlfriend/Lost co-star Evangeline Lilly!
