COULD plus-size supermodel Emme Aronson be the next Oprah?

The five-foot 11-inch, 190 pound host of E!’s “Fashion Emergency” has signed a deal with Buena Vista Productions and ABC Daytime, to develop a new show.

Sources close to the model said that part of the negotiations focused on possibly creating a daytime talk show for her.

A Buena Vista spokeswoman confirmed the deal, but said it is much to early to say if Emme was being groomed for an Oprah-like talk show.

“It’s far to premature to assume what the project would be,” she said.

Emme was not available for comment yesterday.

“To have a successful talk show, [Emme] really doesn’t need to be the next Oprah,” said Gregg Liebman, a TV expert at J. Walter Thompson. “In today’s highly competitive environment if she could do half the ratings that Oprah does, it would be a refreshing change to what’s we’ve seen over the last few years with other new daytime shows such as “The Howie Mandel Show” and “Donny & Marie.”

Voluptuous Emme is a stark departure from the waif-like supermodels of the early 1990s.

To stay in shape the 35-year-old follows a strict physical regimen, but is probably the only supermodel to admit to having “a gut,” as she told one interviewer.

The catalog and billboard babe recently became a spokes-model for Revlon and came to fame after being chosen as the poster girl for Liz Claiborne’s plus-size Elisabeth division.

She is also the author of “True Beauty: Positive Attitudes & Practical Tips from the World’s Leading Plus Size Model.”
