Be a Rockstar
This week, Lawrence's quest is to be a rock star. When he was a child he was kicked out of his school band. He was a musical maverick, but now is his chance to make it happen. In setting about creating an image, Lawrence first learns some rock moves from You Am I rock god Tim Rogers, like the windmill, and making love to the audience. Next he gets himself some outfits and a photo portfolio (shot by his dad in a crummy back alley). Street cred. And no Mr Leung, once again, Lawrence is not on drugs, he's just trying to look like Pete Doherty. Lawrence crashes the MTV Awards in a DeLorean (the time-travelling car from Back to The Future). The Veronicas, Juliette Lewis, The Thorpedo, 50 Cent... and Lawrence. He's one of them! 50 Cent's bodyguard doesn't quite see it that way though. After his attempts to recruit famous musicians fail, Lawrence decides to outsource, and recruits a backing band from Mumbai via MySpace. He settles on the name The Sweatshop Boys and they start recording. Via Skype. It's new technology for the new rock order. The kids will understand it. As his song develops Lawrence gets feedback on the tune and the lyrics from Dicko (Australian Idol), American agent Terry Anzaldo, and his childhood musical hero - INXS's Kirk Pengilly. He asks Kirk to do a sax solo to make his song complete. With his song complete, Lawrence is ready to perform his new single LIVE on MTV's The Lair. Will his dreams of rock stardom be fulfilled?

Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service

Restaurateurs who are looking for a quick fix or social media glow-up are in for the surprise of their lives when famed culinary titan Gordon Ramsay trades his signature chef knives for a state-of-the-art surveillance vehicle and cutting-edge spyware in FOX's all-new unscripted series, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service. In a Gordon Ramsay series first, Chef Ramsay will venture into struggling restaurants under the cover of night. With the help of a secret source on the inside, he'll gather raw, unfiltered evidence and get a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant. This insider will not only remain a secret to the staff, but will also help Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before. By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service will be his toughest assignment yet as he takes drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people. Are the restaurant and staff willing to accept Gordon's mission, or are they too far gone to be saved?
