Oscar hopeful “Right to Dream” from Tennessee is now available as a single on iTunes and at Amazon. The above video for the Mariah Carey number features clips from the movie, which is tentatively scheduled to open in theaters in March.

“Find You,” Karmina’s theme song for the late and still lamented Ex List is now available on iTunes. It can also be previewed in the October 25th posting on the band website.

According to a report by Access Hollywood, Tennessee’s release date has been pushed off from this Friday, December 19th, to a later release, tentatively scheduled for March.

The film has had a couple of festival screenings so far as well as a one-week run at the beginning of December to qualify for Oscar contention, largely in the hopes of getting a nod for co-star Mariah Carey’s “Right to Dream,” listed among five front-runners by the Los Angeles Times:

THE POP STAR

Mariah Carey’s “Right to Dream.” In need of a guitarist for “Right to Dream,” Carey aimed high, going straight to country legend Willie Nelson. Written for ” Tennessee,” in which Carey plays an aspiring singer, “Right to Dream” is restrained elegance, with some light, finger-picked guitar flourishes and a dash of late-night soul. “I was humming different melodies while I was on the set and stuff,” Carey says. “I was just thinking that Willie Nelson would be somebody fabulous to collaborate with. I reached out to him, and we met after one of his concerts.”

Thanks to commenter Jeane for the heads up on the For Your Contention ad from the December 3 Los Angeles Times and h/t to the Mariah Daily Journal for the scan.

Thanks to Apple commenter Andrew for the tip.

Counting down to tonight’s debut of The Ex List with an interview done for CBS featuring our Adam and his co-star, Alexandra Breckenridge.

With advance apologies for the poor editing, we’ve thrown together a few minutes’ worth of Adam’s appearance on Law & Order tonight. Click on the above to view.

Update:
For anyone who missed the show, Television Without Pity’s recap is up and running.

Update (March 19, 2008):
NBC’s 2-Minute Replay is also up and running.

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.

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.

We’re heading into the home stretch for Mad Money (46 long days away!), so let’s take a spin through all the latest Adam Rothenberg developments.

The eighteenth season of the apparently unkillable Famous Original entry in the Law & Order franchise will benefit from a very special appearance by our Adam, along with Lara Flynn Boyle and new series regulars Jeremy Sisto and Linus Roache. L&O’s making a comeback to Wednesday nights on NBC starting on January 2nd, so Episode #7, “Submission,” should appear sometime in March, but we’ll keep our readers updated when we get a definite airdate.

A little clip of the Boyle character is featured in the series preview on NBC’s website, which, coupled with the episode title, should give the spoiler-inclined a fair chance at figuring out the basic premise.

More updates after the jump.
