Twenty-two year-old Rihanna , herself a victim of domestic violence, sings outside a house that erupts into flames as the couple within - Fox and Monaghan - engage in an endless round of destructive behavior, including fighting, drinking, and shoplifting.

Fox has said she will donate the money from the video to a shelter for abusive women.

"Love The Way You Lie," the second release from Eminem's Billboard Number 1 album "Recovery," is the number one single in the country this week.
