WANT a glimpse of what it was like to be Marshall and Kim Mathers? Watch the video for Eminem’s No. 1 duet with Rihanna "Love The Way You Lie" that chronicles his tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife.

“Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, but that's alright because I like the way it hurts," sings Rihanna. That poignant line seems to be the inspiration behind the accompanying video, which premiered earlier this month.
The Joseph Kahn-directed clip depicts A-list actress Megan Fox as a sometimes-vulnerable, sometimes-confrontational Mrs. Eminem, and Dominic Monaghan, who plays Charlie Pace on Lost, takes on Eminem's persona.
The heated exchanges between Megan and Dominic are both captivating and intense. In one moment, they’re making passionate love to each other, and in another, they’re getting physically violent and launching at each other in utter odium. But true to the song's lyrics, they stay together.
In between scenes, a red-haired Rihanna - who recently told Access Hollywood that the song was something she "needed" to do following the very-public assault at the hands of former boyfriend Chris Brown - is singing the chorus while standing in front of a burning house and Eminem is rapping his pertinent lyrics from a desolate field before joining Rihanna.
Eminem said it was tough making the video work. "Joseph and I worked pretty closely together to make sure we got this right," Eminem said in a statement. "Trying to make this tough subject work visually is a challenge. It was great to have Rihanna, Megan and Dominic on board for this."
When Rihanna received the call to sing on the Eminem song, she jumped at the opportunity. "It's something that, you know, [Eminem and I have] both experienced, you know, on different sides, different ends of the table," she told Access Hollywood.
It was only last year when Rihanna was involved in the domestic dispute with Chris Brown that resulted in a felony assault charge against Chris. But her own experiences did not deter her from recording the song.
"It was just authentic. It was real," she adds. "It was believable for us to do a record like that, but it was also something that needed to be done, and the way he did it was so clever. He pretty much just broke down the cycle of domestic violence, and it's something that a lot of people don't have a lot of insight on, so this song is a really, really powerful song, and it touches a lot of people."
Dominic, a big Eminem fan, worked hard preparing for the role. He told MTV he listened to Eminem's first two albums, and tried to get into a "nasty, dirty" frame of mind.
As the clip aims at highlighting the dangers of an abusive relationship and, indirectly, delivers the message that it's better to walk out before it's too late, Megan admirably donated her fee for appearing in the video to the Santa Monica, California based Sojourn a program for battered women and their children.
