We here at the Apple have an undeniable public record in support of the notion that Adam Rothenberg is “hot” and possesses a “lovely ass.” And we heartily concur with Star magazine’s belief in the overpowering sexiness of Adam’s “acting cred.” So we would certainly never scoff at the notion of any woman swooning under the effects of the patent-pending Rothenberg charm.

Nevertheless, we don’t know what to make of the fact that Mad Money co-star Katie Holmes didn’t immediately leap from Adam’s arms when the director called “cut.” Our first instinct from looking at the photos that have leaked out was that they were getting a note from the director and just stayed put, perhaps waiting to go again. Hey, we’ve all been there.

But when Jeannette Walls informed us that Life & Style magazine features a set insider’s report that “(Katie and Adam) lingered after … and it got everyone talking” and “They shot a scene in which Adam wrapped his arms around Katie’s waist, then the two of them had an intimate discussion,” we didn’t know what to think. It’s Jeannette Walls, people! She would never steer us wrong. After all, “Katie was touching Adam’s arm while they were talking, like girls do when they like somebody,” which is sooooo true.

Still reeling from these revelations, we were faced with the brain-teaser of how to reconcile Star’s earlier report that Tom Cruise is attempting to interfere with a steamy scene between our Adam and Katie when TMZ swears that “Katie’s not supposed to have any love interest in the flick”? It’s truly a mystery.

As we attempt to puzzle this one out, we’d like to give a big thanks to both TMZ and MSNBC’s Walls for driving a passel of new Adam-curious readers our way. We’ve got our fingers crossed that the bandwidth holds out.
