Stars including Brad Pitt came out for Rihanna’s fund-raiser Diamond Ball at the Vineyard Beverly Hills — prompting host Jimmy Kimmel to joke that he’d be auctioning off dad-of-six Pitt’s sperm as part of the charity auction.
Rihanna hosted the event Thursday to benefit her Clara Lionel Foundation, a humanitarian organization founded in honor of her grandparents.
Other guests included Kim Kardashian, her mom Kris Jenner, Salma Hayek, Ellen Pompeo, Nikki Reed and Kat Graham.
Introducing Rihanna, Pitt said onstage, “Female phenom. Cultural icon. Provocateur. Advocate . . . and that voice,” before going on to joke about her accomplishments and attempting to stage a mock intervention.

During the auction, Hayek did her part, bidding $190,000 for a Damien Hirst, while producer James Lassiter’s son entered a bidding war on a Kanye West prize, winning it for $37,000.
Rihanna took the stage in a Zac Posen gown to perform “Diamonds,” “Umbrella” and “Stay,” among others, at the D’ussé-sponsored event.
