So, this is how reality TV rolls.
The newest stars of unscripted television are four gorgeous, part-time models — who happen to be wheelchair-bound.
“Push Girls” — set to debut in April — follows the now-familiar mold of “Real Housewives” and “The Real World”: a fly-on-the-wall look at the lives, loves and personal struggles of four friends in Hollywood.
The twist is that they are all the victims of car accidents or physical ailments that left them without the use of their beautiful legs.
“Push Girls” is being produced for the Sundance Channel by Gay Rosenthal, who created the reality hit “Little People, Big World,” about an Oregon farming family in which the parents and one of the sons are little people, but the other children are average-sized.
“I am always trying to forge new frontiers,” Rosenthal tells The Post.
“I started developing this show as soon as I met the girls [about two years ago]. I absolutely believe that ‘Little People’ helped carve the way. I sold that show seven years ago. Now little people are so accepted.”
But, she admits, “There definitely were some [networks] who didn’t know what to do with” her latest offering.
“I think the common denominator with us is our wheelchairs,” says cast member, Angela Rockwood, 36. “But it’s not about the wheelchair. It’s about our spirit, and how we just live life to the fullest.”
The “Push Girls” are:
* Tiphany Adams, 28, the lone survivor of a drunk-driving crash her senior year of high school.
“Most people would want to give up,” she told The Post. “But all four of us girls chose to triumph over the tragedy.”
* Auti Angel, a former hip-hop dancer, who had landed a major record deal just before severing her spinal cord in a 1992 car wreck. At 42, Angel is struggling to become pregnant and start a family. Angel — who danced on stage with Milli Vanilli the night they won their Grammy in 1990 — may turn out to be the show’s breakout star.
In the years after her accident, she became addicted to alcohol and crack cocaine, and was jailed after leading LA police on a high-speed chase.
“I was the first woman in a wheelchair incarcerated at Twin Towers County Jail,” she told a Web site for disabled people a few years ago.
“They didn’t know what to do with me so they put me in the infirmary with women who were mentally ill.”
* Mia Schaikewitz, a former competitive swimmer, who lost the use of her legs due to a rare cardiovascular malformation.
* Angela Rockwood, an actress who appeared in “The Fast and the Furious” before her 2001 auto accident. Rockwood, 36, is still dealing with the end of her 10-year marriage to actor Dustin Nguyen. “I’m a quadriplegic, so I need more assistance than the other girls,” she says.
“I need someone to come in and catheterize me. I need someone to bathe me. I need someone to lotion me up . . . This is my reality, and it was important that the show capture that.
