NEW YORK, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Two new VH1 series will reveal personal journeys of hip hop celebrities Salt-N-Pepa and Irv Gotti on Monday nights beginning on October 15th.

First up, on Monday, October 15 at 10:00 p.m., 'The Salt-N-Pepa Show,' will follow the two ladies who in 2002, at the height of their success, called it quits. Now, they've finally agreed to give it one more shot. But, Salt's still mad because she thinks she did all the work -- and was never appreciated. Pep's still angry that Salt broke up the group -- and that she did it by calling Pep in the middle of a pedicure! They have never before spoken to each other about why they broke up in the first place. And now their lives couldn't be more different. Salt is a devout Christian living a quiet married life. Pepa is still a party girl, still in love with the glory days. Can they overcome their past differences? Will God allow them to still push it on stage? Can they work together again without killing each other?

Following 'The Salt-N-Pepa Show' at 10:30 PM, 'Gotti's Way' follows Irv Gotti's efforts to resurrect his record label after being acquitted of money laundering charges in 2004. While trying to breathe new life into his label, The Inc., Gotti is also juggling his responsibilities as a husband and father of three. The series will provide an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Irv's company and the music machine that he is, working with artists such as Vanessa Carlton, Lloyd, Ja Rule and more. The show will also focus on the raw emotions between Irv and estranged wife, Debbie, by exposing their struggle to mend a severed relationship and make it functional for the sake of their family.

'The Salt-N-Pepa Show' is executive produced by Banks Tarver and Ken Druckerman for Left/Right Inc. Michael Hirschorn, Shelly Tatro and Danielle Gelfand executive produce for VH1. Kari McFarland is supervising producer for VH1.
