I’m sure you have all seen Eminem & Rihanna’s new music video for “Love the Way You Lie”, if not, click on the play button a couple inches under this post and checkout the powerful and debatable video.  Rihanna’s past experience with boyfriend Chris Brown made her the ideal candidate for the track and it seems that the two superstars really connected on a different level since they both have a significant amount of insight into abusive relationships.  Em’s Granny, says that they have been texting and talking to each other constantly.  I wonder what Rihanna’s boyfriend, baseball star, Matt Kemp thinks of all this texting?

Eminem’s grandmother, Betty Kresin, said, ”I can totally see what any girl including Rihanna would see in him.  He’s so charming; he has always had adorable, beautiful blue eyes and this charming, wonderful smile.”  ”Rihanna would make a suitable partner for Marshall. But he needs to enjoy life and not get carried away with any relationships at the moment,” she added.

For those of you that are curious Betty Kresin is Eminem’s grandmother on his mom’s side and his late Uncle Ronnie’s mother.  She has six children with three different men, Eminem’s mom being the oldest of the children.  Marshall and Betty had a good relationship until Marshall wanted to use Ronnie’s voice and demo tape but Betty thought it was disrespectful.  The two have reconciled since as you can see.

A separate source told Heat Magazine that Marshall Mathers “would date Rihanna in a heartbeat.” Really??  Who the hell wouldn’t date Rihanna?!  I had the chance to catch Rihanna in concert in Singapore with my friend who worked for MTV.  I always thought she was pretty but I always figure that’s a lot of it is the makeup or the airbrush but seeing her close up I realized she is seriously gorgeous!
