'Love The Way You Lie' Video: Eminem and Rihanna play with fire
MTV broke character and kicked off a new episode of "The Jersey Shore" with an actual music video, the premiere of Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie."The collaboration features the duo performing in front of a burning down house, while a narrative about an abusive -- possibly pyromaniac -- couple plays out in the background. And the dysfunctional lovers? None other than Dominic Monaghan ("Lost") and Megan Fox ("Transformers").
So does this mean Megan Fox already been demoted to music video girl? We like to think that she's voluntarily humbling herself and paying penance for the publicity nightmare surrounding her "Transformers" exit.
Another unexpected career move here is Rihanna's. And while the thought of her dueting with Em didn't float with us off the bat, the video ends up being that much more stirring given the pop star's very public dealings with domestic violence.
Tacky or tuneful? Sound off in the comments.

Powerful video. Love that Em is back on top. Good to see Megan getting some work and always good to see Charlie.
