There's certain people who have an expertise in their fields that you go to when in need of advice. If, for example, you wanted to learn how to make the perfect fresh pasta or how to properly roast a chicken, Tom Colicchio might be your go-to. Should you need some tips on how to properly conduct yourself like a Diva with a capital D, look no further than NeNe Leakes.

When Adam Lambert was prepping to host the VH1 Divas special, the Real Housewives of Atlanta's master diva was enlisted in teaching Adam all-things-Diva. "I am teaching him how to be a diva, so we’ll see that in the opening of the show. I’m like his mom tonight ... So I’ll be cheering for him and hoping that he does a fantastic job," NeNe said of her role in grooming Mr. Lambert.

So how does one achieve proper Diva-dom? They need to be "fierce and fabulous and a legend in their own field," according to NeNe. "There are two different types of divas ... There’s a diva that is a bitch on wheels. And then there’s a diva that is fun and fabulous and outspoken. I feel like I’m the fun fabulous diva."
