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.

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 #1
     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.

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.

Our intrepid commenter Ann has once again scooped le Apple with the news that the Thursday, October 25th edition of Entertainment Tonight (check your local listings) will feature a preview of Mad Money. The preview’s preview is up and running over at YouTube (embed after the jump) and features a couple of glimpses of our Adam! Adam laughs!

We’re firing up the ol’ VCR as we speak and we’ll get that video to you, our dear readers, as soon as we can. Or you can just watch the show yourself. Either way.

Update (October 25, 2007):
Since the story had even less Adam than the Sneak Preview after the jump, we’re going to pass on it. Just enjoy the comparative abundance in the video already posted.

Mad Money’s set to get a wave of promotion on the Starz collection of channels, beginning with a Starz Movie News piece at 8:55 PM (ET/PT) tomorrow, Sunday the 14th, with subsequent repeated airings throughout the month. It appears there will be a couple more of these shorter pieces followed by the making-of special, On the Set: Mad Money, and the Mad Money Marathon hosted by Queen Latifah and her mother, Rita Owens. We’re having a little trouble sussing out the schedule for the remaining pieces, but we’ll get those posted in the calendar at the top of the sidebar as soon as we can.

Ahh! Look at the happy cast of Mad Money. Beaming smiles around the horn and our Adam and Katie Holmes holding hands.

In a recent interview with People magazine (picture after the jump), Mad Money director Callie Khouri said “Katie and Adam Rothenberg had great chemistry.” We here at the Apple are glad to hear it but can’t help but wonder when Adam will reach those hallowed heights of fame where only a first name is needed to evoke his heavenly form.

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.
