Rihanna announces 2nd Annual Diamond Ball

Rihanna announced on Monday that the second annual Diamond Ball for Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation will be held on December 10 in Santa Monica, California.

Kevin Hart will host the charity event and Lionel Richie will perform for the crowd. The evening will support the Clara Lionel Foundation.

''I'm so proud of the work the Clara Lionel Foundation has done in its first year and can't wait to celebrate with the iconic Lionel Richie and incredibly talented Kevin Hart at this year’s Diamond Ball,'' Rihanna said in a statement.

Michael Rapino, the CEO of Live National, will be presented with the inaugural Diamond Honors Award. The award will be presented each year to someone who has demonstrated true leadership in the fields of philanthropy and entertainment and whose work furthers CLF’s mission of improving the quality of life for communities globally in the areas of health, education, arts and culture.

''This foundation is close to my heart and I am so grateful for Michael Rapino’s support and commitment to our cause,'' Rihanna said. ''No one is more deserving of the first Diamond Honors Award than him.''
