According to The Futon Critic, Adam’s episode of Law & Order, “Submission,” has been bumped from its slot next week. There doesn’t seem to be a new airdate yet, but it’s looking like early March at the earliest.

After the jump, we take a look at some spoilers regarding the casting of the ep and take a stab at sussing out Adam’s character.

Adam’s relentless pursuit of the female audience continues with a turn in the midseason replacement, Lipstick Jungle, based on the novel by Sex and the City’s muse, Candace Bushnell. Rumor has it he’s playing a sensitive yet presumably foxy kindergarten teacher/Brooke Shields love interest at some point this season. We don’t have airdates for Adam’s episodes yet and the future of the recurring role is tad uncertain, thanks to the ongoing writer’s strike, so check back in later for more updates.

Lipstick Jungle debuts on NBC, Thursday, February 7, 2008, 10 PM ET and stars Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price.

Update (January 23, 2008):
While trying to find out when Adam would be making his appearance, I found the following casting notice:

Title: LIPSTICK JUNGLE , TV Series - 1 Hour for NBC. Episode Title: #107. EXEC PROD, Oliver Goldstick, Candace Bushnell, Tim Busfield; DIR, Tim Busfield; WRTR, Lisa Alden, Dan Bucatinsky. Shoot Dates: January 24-February 4, 2008 (in New York). Breakdown … Ben: 35, Male. Kindergarten teacher with an empathetic smile and gorgeous eyes. (Posted: December 24, 2007)

So it looks like he’s probably debuting in the seven episode of the series, which would presumably be late March, early April, something in there, but we’ll keep trying to pin that down.

As commenter Jeane noted, Adam makes an all-too-brief appearance in this week’s People to discuss his multivaried career path and his alleged rivalry with Tom Cruise. We could have used a bit more dish, but the lovely photo makes up for it. Almost. Take a look after the jump.

After months of torturous anticipation, we here at the Apple can hardly believe it…

Mad Money opens in cinemas nationwide, TODAY!

Believe us, it’s no contest. Cloverfield ? Just another tired faux-doc with off-brand twentysomethings and derivative kaiju eiga trappings. And, please, don’t even get us started on 27 Dresses. Haven’t we seen this movie 27 times already? A film so obviously powered by cliché-combustion is a clear and present danger to the environment. Go green this weekend. Money green.

How can Adam ever hope to pay off his monstrous backgammon-incurred debts without your help?

America, Mad Money needs YOUR mad money. Today, and beyond.

In the interest of providing Apple readers with the most complete Adam Rothenberg experience possible, we’ve expanded our content to include a selection of Adam’s extensive stage, film and television credits and a photo gallery for easy gazing, including a super-special Mad Money gallery. Feel free to post comments and feedback for all three in this thread.

Just popping in with a quick post to direct our readers’ attention to the lengthy MovieWeb interview with Adam unearthed by commenter Jeane, in which our boy discusses his current projects and his newfound love of cribbage.

MovieWeb has extended versions of the interviews and behind the scenes footage from the Starz! On the Set show up and running. The following have Adam-related content to check out:

     Adam Rothenberg
     Callie Khouri (talks about Adam and the other men of Mad Money around the 1:08 mark)
     Katie Holmes (talks about the MM men around 2:02 and Adam in particular around 2:30)

     Behind the Scenes Footage #2
     Behind the Scenes Footage #4

Just a quick update regarding Adam’s upcoming Law & Order turn, Wikipedia now lists the airdate for his episode, “Submission,” as February 6, 2008. Fun fact: It’s the series’ 400th episode!

More from the red carpet, courtesy of LiveVideo.com. The whole thing’s only about four minutes long, but if you only have eyes for Adam, he appears with about 2:24 remaining to talk about his character and what it was like working with his three leading ladies. He pops up again later with 1:14 left to discuss what he would do with $5 million and then, with 14 seconds to go, records a little plug for LiveVideo.com.

Update (January 12, 2008):
Edited to add screen capture.

Mad Money had its premiere at the Mann Village Theatre in Los Angeles last night and, of course, Adam was there, looking dapper, proud parents and sister by his side (check out the Getty Images gallery for a couple watermarked snaps of the happy family).

While most of the press coverage naturally centered around Adam’s more established co-stars and their more established spouses, Page Six.com treated us to this tidbit:

And the women’s behavior on-carpet matched their attitudes on-set, co-stars said. Adam Rothenberg, who plays Katie’s boyfriend in the movie, told PageSix.com that production was pretty relaxed. “I think I was the only uptight guy there,” he joked, adding that the women “kind of made it a project to loosen me up. I thought I was presumptuous to pal around with them….so they teased me.”

Thanks to commenter Jeane for all the tips.

Starz! recently wrapped up their ongoing promotion of Mad Money with a ten-minute look On the Set, featuring clips and interviews with the major players. Adam gets his own spotlight at about the 6:35 mark, which we’ve pulled out for easy viewing. The full segment with odd Adam sightings throughout is available as well.
