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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

The Mad Money promotional engine keeps chugging along, with its scratch-off lottery tickets and posters and plastic boxes of shredded-up cash and locks. More importantly, a few new promotional stills have come out featuring Adam’s lovely form. (Thanks again to commenter Ann for the heads up about the photos, which we then retrieved from KatieHolmes.com.)

We honestly don’t have anything you could call “news” to report about this project, except to note that we took a swing by imdb and noticed that it was updated a few days ago. Best we can tell, the update consisted primarily of fleshing out the credits. We have also noticed that only the homepage of the official website is displaying right now, so we’re wondering if possibly there’s an update coming soon over there. As always, we’ve got our eyes and ears open and we’ll let you know what’s what as soon as we do.
