After a few days of intense speculation as to whether Megan Fox will appear in Eminem’s brand new video, “Love the Way You Lie” or not, fans can breathe at ease: not only is she included in it, but she’s also done shooting her scenes. In fact, as E! Online can confirm, fans don’t even have to wait too long to see it because it will be released later this week.

Fox will be appearing in her first role since tying the knot with longtime beau Brian Austin Green in Em’s video. Though earlier reports had it that she might play the part of the rapper’s estranged wife Kim, pictures obtained by E! hint that this may not happen. She and “Lost” star Dominic Monaghan have been photographed kissing on the rooftop of a store in Los Angeles, as part of the script.

“Dominic Monaghan is one lucky fella. As we were the first to tell you, the Lost actor teamed up with Megan Fox to star in the music video for Eminem and Rihanna’s hit single, ‘Love the Way You Lie.’ The shoot took place late last week on top of a liquor store in Los Angeles… Sources report that scenes between the former Transformers starlet and Monaghan get pretty steamy. They were spotted being filmed sharing a kiss on the roof of the liquor store in between taking swigs of vodka,” E! writes.

“Earlier today, the video’s director Joseph Kahn twittered, ‘OK fine. Megan Fox & Dominic Monaghan are in the video. Hard to keep secrets in this town.’ He also twittered that the vid would premiere this week. ‘My director’s edit of ‘Love the Way You Lie’ is done,’ he posted yesterday. ‘I love this video.’ P.S.: We love Kahn’s videos – just take a look at what he did most recently with Kylie Minogue for ‘All the Lovers.’ Hot! He’s also worked with Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, 50 Cent and Mariah Carey, among many others,” the e-zine further says.

More details on Fox and Monaghan’s roles have not yet been revealed. Nevertheless, given the lyrics of the song, it’s not that hard to imagine that the video will depict an abusive, troubled relationship. Eminem and Rihanna will also be appearing it in, as we also told you a short while ago. For the video, keep an eye on this space.
