Eminem has the hots for Rihanna

Eminem wants to date Rihanna.

The rapper – who recently recorded a duet with the star entitled Love the Way You Lie – has a crush on the Barbados-born singer and his grandmother Betty Kresin thinks they would make a great couple.

Betty told heat magazine: “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.”

Rihanna and Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, are reportedly in constant communication, but for the ‘Umbrella’ singer – who is dating baseball star Matt Kemp – their relationship is purely platonic.

    You still have too many issues Eminem and Rhianna just got out of a relationship that was obviously abusive. Go do some inner work before stuffing up your next romance because of the same old same old. There is no charge to you for this advice.

    They really do look as though they deserve each other. I dread to think what their kids might look like!

    I love that man dearly, Eminem. But frog fingers is absolutely right... Mr Mathers needs to do some inner healing and the next 'real relationship' will be the one that lasts a lifetime. Perhaps he'll find his soulmate/ ladybird that he'll grow old with. PS - Eminem... when are you announcing your down under tour, some of the people in AU wouldn't mind listening to your lyrics in the flesh.

    Rihannas got her mullet on back to front. Seriously though this isnt news worthy. Maybe if they were dating then the gossip fans would care. I think people would rather hear about my crush for miranda kerr. I would date her in a heartbeat if she showed the slighest interest in me. Slow day for Perthnow

    I say everyone should mind their own business and before giving relationship advice, whataloadof# of WA, cck of perth, Dr. Phil of Perth and frog fingers of perth should look at their own relationships before sticking their big beaks in others, especially when you dont even know the people your commenting on. loosers......

    I've got the hots for Jennifer Hawkins, How come that hasn't made a headline?

    Comment 20 of 34

  • mastercritic Posted at 10:21 AM Today

    Nowhere did she say he had the hots for her. A 'source said' he did is not the same as 'he said' he did. Get it right!

    Banshee (your name sounds all a bit hectic), this is a blog where people are encouraged to leave personal thoughts on the matter at hand in the article. My personal life is just fine which doesn't disqualify me from leaving a post. Perhaps a glance at why you need to defend celebrities in the news for all the wrong reasons is more the question on why you seem so upset. And a wailing ghost for a blog name ..? Good luck and inner peace to you.
