Supermodel Janice Dickinson, who pranced her way to fame in magazines like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan, is getting even with the world that fed her bad habits. She's hosting her own reality show about modeling on Oxygen.

Called "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency," premiering tomorrow, the show will corral a stable of beauties for Dickinson's own modeling agency. She insists this is different from "The World's Next Top Model," on which Dickinson was a judge. On her show, she interviews women for actual jobs, not for a showy process of elimination.

According to Stuart Krasnow, executive producer of the show, "This is not a contest. We are not confined by the falseness of a contest or challenges to decide who is going to be a part of this agency or not. What we are banking on is Janice's eye and her ability to spot talent, and her ability to deal with people and get them to the point where they can really get a model ready to work," he says.

"And then we'll follow them through that working experience. So if somebody gets fired on our show, they are not with little roll-away suitcases getting into an elevator. They are REALLY fired. And Janice will be doing the firing, the hiring and the running of the business."

Dickinson, who began modeling at 14, doesn't have much good to say about the industry that catapulted her to notoriety before she was 20. "Every magazine cover you see of Halle Berry, Sarah Jessica Parker, Julia Roberts is completely airbrushed," she sniffs.

"It's all completely digitally enhanced. Every photograph taken of Tyra (Banks) is completely airbrushed. We have been giving young girls and boys a sense of falseness by looking at the magazines and not knowing that everything has been pinned. The lighting in the photograph is just specially made up to fool the public. I've been fooling the public for years, being a model, and I'm really good at it. That's why I've done it. But it gives children and adults a sense of falseness.

"You look at something and then get depressed because you wake up — 'I woke up this morning looking like ... I mean, how am I going to get through the day? I just don't feel that good.' So in fashion and photography, in essence, we fool people. In this show we are going to try to repair that."

Dickinson, 53, says that the frantic obsession among young women to be thin as a micron is nothing new. "It goes back to the Greeks," she says. But modeling exacerbates the tendency for girls to try to be cadaverous.

"I'm a former bulimic myself, and it's just a horrible, horrible addiction — like anything else, gambling, chocoholism, alcoholism. It's terrible. Yes, the models are still doing that ... I saw the girls going back and forth to the bathrooms, wiping their noses, smoking cigarettes, you know, dabbing their mouths after hurling a meal. It's really tragic. So we're going to keep an eye on that."

Dickinson, who has a son, Nathan, and a daughter, Savannah, says they hate being in the limelight. "My son's father is a film producer. His name is Simon Fields. He's produced everything. My daughter's father — I had a thing for film producers, I don't know why. My daughter's father is Michael Berman, who is also a very acclaimed film producer. They just don't like to be in front of the camera because I was always in front of the camera, and they always grew up in the environment of fashion settings and fashion shoots, always being in front of the camera. So when asked to pose, they would shy away from it. And I'm really glad. I've never really pushed them into anything. My son will be one of the producers on the show."
