For three months, camera crews have been tailing the late Dapper Don's glamorous daughter day and night for a series that will debut on cable channel A&E at 9 p.m. Aug. 2. The 38-year-old blond hopes "Growing Up Gotti" will be a huge hit, but she's also warning viewers there won't be any capos or canaries on her show. "People are going to think we are the real-life Sopranos," Gotti told the Daily News. "But what they will see and hear and realize is that we are anything but that." Instead, the series focuses on how a divorced mother of three teenage boys juggles work (writing for Star magazine) and home (a 14-room mansion in Old Westbury, L.I.). There's a segment where Gotti gives her sister a makeover for a night out "with a guy she's crazy about" - and another where she goes on a date herself. Gotti's ex-husband, Carmine Agnello, is serving a nine-year sentence for racketeering and tax evasion, but she hasn't had a steady boyfriend since their 2002 split. "I dated sporadically right after the divorce ... but I realized I wasn't ready, my head wasn't into it, and I just stopped," she said. "I let that go on too long - a year and a half, two years - so we got to address that matter in the show." Another episode - 20 have been ordered - concerns a letter to Gotti from an 85-year-old woman in Great Neck, L.I., who claimed a mystery intruder was breaking into her home and harassing her. With the cameras rolling, Gotti goes to dinner at Rao's with some pals - security expert Bo Dietl, advertising executive Donny Deutsch, retailer Mitch Modell - and outlines the situation for them. "I told them, 'I need you all to get to the bottom of this,'" Gotti said. "There's a minute of silence and then Bo says, 'Are you effin' kidding me?'" Gotti tells the high-powered group she's dead serious about needing their help. "They just bust out hysterical laughing and said, 'You called a sitdown about an 80-year-old Jewish woman?'" she said. "This is not mob stuff - this is everyday life." The executive producer of "Growing Up Gotti" is private eye Bill Stanton, who said he came up with the idea after watching MTV's "The Osbournes." He was intrigued by the idea that although most of America thought of Ozzy Osbourne as a bat-chomping hell-raiser, the show exposed him as a rock 'n' roll Ozzie Nelson. He thought he could work the same magic with Victoria. "With a daughter of John Gotti, everyone is going to have their perceptions," he said. "You think of a girl with platinum hair, a big chest, who drives a convertible - and you get that. But you also get the girl with the genius IQ and a degree who's a single working mom of three boys. "At the end of the day, I know America will identify that." Gotti was initially on the fence about the project, but ultimately decided to take the plunge. Even then, Stanton had trouble selling it - until book publisher Judith Regan signed on as a co-producer and A&E got interested. The star also had to persuade her sons, Carmine Jr., 18, John, 17, and Frankie, 14, to play along. She told them the show was their chance to prove the family isn't a "one-trick pony" and she hopes that after the premiere, the public won't see her boys as Mafia princes. "Instead they'll say, 'That's the Gotti boy who went on to Harvard,' or 'That's the Gotti boy with the beautiful eyes,'" she said.
