Adam’s Lipstick Jungle debut as “a kindergarten teacher with an empathetic smile and gorgeous eyes” now has an airdate and a synopsis. “Carpe Threesome,” Chapter Seven of the series, is set to air on Thursday, March 20th, at 10 PM ET on NBC, a week and a day after his scheduled Law & Order appearance. He’s not mentioned in the synopsis that we pulled from TV Central’s Lipstick Jungle forum, but the other new characters mentioned can be found in the same casting notice as Adam’s, so it’s probably the right episode.

20 Mar 07 Chapter Seven: Carpe Threesome
Wendy (Brooke Shields) is dealing with a very difficult scriptwriter, Lorraine Lippman (Marsha Mason), who cannot seem to put an ending to her movie. Wendy makes a bold move and tells production to move forward, leaving it up to her to get the final script from Lorraine in time. Nico (Kim Raver), still very caught up in her dual life with Kirby, faces a harsh reality when she receives news that Charles (Chris Cousins) has had a heart attack. The scare makes her realize how much she misses her marriage and brings her life back into perspective. What will this mean for Kirby? Elsewhere, Victory (Lindsay Price) is getting used to the idea of Joe Bennett (Andrew McCarthy) as her boss instead of her boyfriend. Hockey superstar, Chris “Parks” Parker (Bobby Cannavale) and his wife grow very fond of Victory. The relationship heats up, which puts Victory in a very compromising position.

For the Tennessee completist, we’ll just pass on the tip that Mariah’s been chatting a bit about her recent film projects during the promotional swing for the musical part of her career, as in this Access Hollywood clip in which she discusses how her previous cinematic missteps have informed her current choices.

According to Mariah Carey’s fansite, the delovely diva paid a visit to TRL yesterday to announce the big, big news that Tennessee will be appearing at the Tribeca Film Festival this spring. Oh, and to launch her new video, “Touch My Body”. Show Adam’s co-star some love and vote for it. And it’s got Jack McBrayer! The Apple staff sure loves them some Jack McBrayer. The Mariah Daily Journal has a downloadable video of the announcement, posted at midnight today.

We were getting a little impatient there, but this is pretty cool. No schedule or official roster of films has been announced as of yet, but the website does currently offer a mailing list and, for American Express cardholders, various ticket packages composed of presently unannounced films. This year, the festival will run from April 23rd to May 4th and tickets for individual shows will go on sale April 12th for AmEx cardholders, the 18th for downtown residents and the 19th for everybody else. As always, updates to follow.

Update:
If past years are any guide, we can expect the official lineup to be released around the middle of March.

Just a quick update on one of Adam’s other projects, Lipstick Jungle received an order from the network for another six scripts. Still no word on whether additional episodes will be filmed (or the status of Adam’s character), but it is doing reasonably well with its target demographic of women 18-34 and women 18-49, so we’re cautiously optimistic that our man Adam may be on our TV screens on a regular basis in the very near future.

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.

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.

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.

Our thanks go out to TomKat Crazy for the new promotional photo used up top.

Entertainment site Collider.com has posted nine clips from Mad Money and two feature our favorite thespian. The fourth clip on page 1, “Czechoslovakia,” has just a wee bit, but “The Bob Fund,” Clip #9, which can be found on page 2, is quite Adam-centric and is well worth checking out.

While we’re at it, the Apple staff might as well draw our faithful readers’ attention to Beth’s comment from yesterday’s post, noting that Katie Holmes will be on Live with Regis and Kelly on Monday the 14th with Ted Danson appearing on the 16th and Queen Latifah finishing it up on the 17th. We’ll fire up the ol’ VCRs in the hopes of catching any stray Adam mention.

Beth also drew our attention to an upcoming Unscripted Moviefone interview that will feature MM’s trio of felonious females. If you have a query you’d like to posit regarding Adam or anything else, post it here in the comments section before January 12th.

Coming up this week: A friend of the Apple has procured a copy of the Starz! On the Set segment spotlighting Mad Money, which apparently features another Adam tidbit or two. We’ll get that up and running as soon as we can.

Twelve days out from the debut of Mad Money, there’s been quite a lot of promotion for the film, interviews, TV spots, a couple generally positive reviews, mostly focusing on everybody but Adam. But we do have these two new action shots of our boy at work, courtesy of imdb.
