President of Fox News Channel, and chairman of the Fox Television Stations Roger Ailes is the subject of a new biography penned by New York Magazine writer Gabriel Sherman, due out later this month via Random House. The Loudest Voice in the Room takes a deep look into the life of one of the informants of conservative view in the United States, alongside his relationships with conservative media peers like Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Ruport Murdoch. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews, Sherman’s coverage of the past two decades on Fox News is sure to be read differently, but equally entertainingly, on both sides of the political aisle.

Two of Australia's most timeless musical imports are the subject of a new TV biopic series set to air in their home country. INXS’s Michael Hutchence and pop superstar Kylie Minogue will be played respectively by newcomer Luke Arnold and Austrialian Idol champ Samantha Jade -- for a biographical take sure to be packed with the good (great tunes), the bad (Hutchence’s tragic end), and the beautiful.

The upcoming Gregg Allman biopic, "Midnight Rider," boasts its own subject as executive producer, and a heavily involved one at that. “I have veto rights over everything," Allman says of the script, which was co-written by the project’s director, Randall Miller. Let’s hope his final OK goes to a story that includes the difficult, and most interesting parts, too. Or perhaps those will end up in the first new album the band has recorded in a decade -- which Allman says may be in the works. [via Rolling Stone]

Out this week, Company Man, by former C.I.A. lawyer John Rizzo, is a worthy addition to the much-loved genre of spy memoirs. Told with the terse noir-style voice required of such books, this clever real-life tale touches on things like Bush-era policy and interrogation methods -- for an insider read that's informative, horrifying, and somehow even often funny.
