Dress for success. No soap diva would be seen schlumping to the supermarket in sweats. Make sure you look ready for the red carpet at all times like DAYS OF OUR LIVES's Kate. You want to look your best if you run into your arch nemesis or one of your five ex-husbands.

Have a standing appointment at the nail salon. Those talons will have to be sharp as you claw your way to the top or get your hooks into your current romantic prey. YOUNG & RESTLESS bad girl Hilary Curtis, is a prime example.

Recognize valuable breakables. Several times a year, you’ll find need to throw something and it’s best to go for high-priced items. Why smash a reasonably priced Pottery Barn lamp when you can go for an irreplaceable Ming vase? EMPIRE’s Cookie Lyon is a pro, when Lucious ticked her off in the boardroom, she grabbed a Louisville Slugger and took it out on his gold records and every other expensive item.

Keep champagne on hand. While breaking things will be a fairly regular event, at times you’ll need to toss bubbly in someone’s smug face. This is a maneuver that works well in restaurants. REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS's Lisa Rinna is always armed with a flute. It’ll also help in your evil plot to push an alcoholic off the wagon. Yes, we’re still looking at you, Hilary.

Forget the silent treatment. When you see your rival across the room at a party, don’t studiously avoid her or lurk at the cheese table until she’s out of sight. No, you walk straight over there with a curt and icy greeting. No need for banter Just a frosty hello and an unblinking stare will achieve your aim. Getting in front of her face secures your alpha diva cred. Legendary diva, ALL MY CHILDREN’s Erica Kane, was a pro at making the subject of her wrath uncomfortable. Just say hello, make mention of her tasteless outfit and strut off.
