Local struts the cat walk

Christian Prelle always wanted to be on television.

When we was in college, he planned to become a sports broadcaster. But he’s now set to begin his second season as a beefcake male model on the fourth season of popular Oxygen Network reality series “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.”

The season premiere will be at 10 p.m. Tuesday.

Prelle, who played basketball and football at Edison High School and then at UC Berkeley, graduated with a degree in mass communications before auditioning for the show.

Dickinson was one of the world’s first supermodels. She also appeared on a previous reality show, “The Surreal Life.” Her entrepreneurial bent led her to form her own agency. In the fourth season, Dickinson decides her models need to live together under one roof. Of course, that very large roof covers a Hollywood Hills mansion. And also, of course, Dickinson decides she needs to move in with them, to their surprise. And naturally, her master bedroom was designed by Madonna’s brother, Christopher Ciccone.

“Janice is a vibrant, tough-minded entrepreneur and our audience loves her unique combination of candor and outrageousness,” said Amy Introcaso-Davis, Oxygen’s senior vice president of Development and Programming.

“With Janice under the same roof as her models, Season 4 promises even more of the great entertainment that has made the show such a success.”
