Kevin Hart, who stars in BET’s record-breaking series "RHOH" helped present the BET Networks 2013 New York Upfronts yesterday in NYC.
Kevin celebrated the success of his series by posing with BET’s top execs Stephen Hill and Debra Lee.
Kevin also posed with model Selita Ebanks who had a few choice words for him after he jokingly said she was unattractive. She tweeted, "So icy" says Chris Robinson #RHOH @kevinheart says "im unattractive" #phuckHisLil’Ass LMFAO"
Kevin, who hugged fellow network star Gabrielle Union, seemed to be in high spirits following his recent DUI bust.
Gabrielle introduced a few scenes from her upcoming scripted series "Being Mary Jane."

"Real Husbands Of Hollywood" star Boris Kodjoe posed with wife Nicole Ari Parker. The twosome is also working with BET on their own project.
Fellow "RHOH" star Nelly posed with Stephen Hill. You’ll recall that Nelly said he won’t be rushed into marriage….so there’s no telling when he’ll become a true "husband" of Hollywood.
"Apollo Live" judge Gladys Knight showed that she’s still keeping the weight off after her stint on "DWTS".
Original "Dreamgirls" star Sheryl Lee Ralph, who’ll be starring in the NickMom series "Instant Mom" with Tia Mowry-Hardrict, looked great.
