NEW YORK, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Check out all of the brand new premieres headed to VH1 and VH1 Classic this week.

On Friday, August 26

"Tommy Lee Goes to College" #103 Tommy tried to focus on school, but the band issue weighed on his mind. Not to mention the frog issue. The class assignment in his invertebrate lab was frog dissection. (Begins at 10:00 p.m.) http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/tommy_lee_goes_to_college/series.jhtml

"Gene Simmons' Rock School" #102 It's Gene's second week at Christs' Hospital and the school invites him to take hymn practice in the chapel and also to defend his right to teach rock at the school debating society. He also has to choose a guitarist and drummer for the band. (Premieres at 10: 30 p.m.) http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/rock_school/series.jhtml

On Saturday, August 27

"Rock Star: INXS-Competition" #107 After choosing names from a hat, two rockers get the chance to perform original compositions, and to the disappointment of some and relief of others, Deanna and Mig are the lucky two. Despite Suzie's frustration over not singing her own composition, she does a great job tonight on "Start Me Up." Later, Ty -- who helped Deanna write her song -- has another slam dunk performance on "Proud Mary," while Jordis uncharacteristically struggles with the high notes in Aerosmith's "Dream On." (Premieres at 7:00 p.m.) http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/inxs/artist.jhtml

"Rock Star: INXS-Elimination" #107 The Rockers have done their best on stage-now its up to INXS to decide who stays and who goes home. Which performer will be next? Find out tonight. (Premieres at 8:00 p.m.) http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/inxs/artist.jhtml

"Celebrity Fit Club" *BRAND NEW EPISODE* While training with WNBA star Tamika Whitmore from the LA Sparks, the teams have a fit camp shoot-off as a crowd of basketball fans cheers them on. Back in the weigh-in ceremony, Toccara and Jani both share emotional visits to their hometowns in Ohio, and Phil takes us home to meet his new granddaughter and give his new leaner body a workout in a race against son Bam. With the final weigh-in just a week away, the celebs bring in big weight losses as they kick into high gear to drop the pounds and win the grand prize for their team.

"THE FABULOUS LIFE OF CELEBRITY WIVES" The only people who live better than celebrities are the celebrities' better halves, but being a fabulous first lady isn't easy or cheap. It takes an extraordinary woman to land and keep a superstar stud, and each of these women has a fantastic story to match her fabulous life. So, tell your nanny to watch the kids, have the butler to hold your calls and let VH1 show you what it's really like to be one of the world's hottest celebrity wives.
