Today, June 20th, Adam Rothenberg celebrates another year of life on this frail planet.

How old is our Adam? Well, a gentleman never asks nor tells, but curious fans are encouraged to count his rings… if they can get close enough.

Let the record show, however, that Adam is a florid Gemini. And that he shares a birthday with Jacques Offenbach, Olympia Dukakis, Charles Chesnutt, Martin Landau, Lillian Hellman, Chet Atkins, Eric Dolphy, Danny Aiello, Errol Flynn, Brian Wilson, John Goodman, Lionel Richie, Anne Murray, and two World War II heroes… French Resistance martyr Jean Moulin, and super-patriot Audie Murphy — winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor.

You may not have given your life to undermine the Vichy regime in France, Adam, or singlehandedly killed 50 Nazi infantrymen while standing atop a burning tank only minutes away from exploding, but, gosh darn it, you’re still OUR hero.

Mazel tov!

P.S. If you’re so inclined, leave Adam a birthday wish in the comments below…. Remember, it’s lonely at the top.

The Apple is back for another roundup of items and updates from the world of Adam Rothenberg. Enjoy.

In the first part of a two-part Entertainment Tonight interview with Adam’s Mad Money co-star Katie Holmes, we picked up the confirmation that there will be “on-screen passion” between the two in the flick and also nabbed the brooding production still used above. Nice.

Many thanks to Myma over at katieholmes.com for the video.

Mad Money was expected to wrap production on June 8th, which would have been Friday. Still no official site or release date, but a fairly awful poster for Mad Money has popped up (we stole our copy from Katie-Holmes.org) that I’m personally hoping is some kind of draft placeholder thing.

 

We can also give a big thanks to Katie-Holmes.org for the May 11th production still above, which was also featured in the May 28th Life & Style as part of a little Katie-related piece which noted that an insider claims that she and Adam have “great rapport.”

The Mariah Carey fansites have been tracking the development of Tennessee pretty closely and recently reported rumors that the film might debut at a film festival this fall to be followed by a general release in 2008. Or something. Nobody really knows at this point is what we’re saying, although David Cronenberg (director Aaron Woodley’s uncle) has seen a rough cut and given a big thumbs up to Carey’s performance. Sadly, no word on what DC thought of our man Adam.
