Jillian Michaels and Anthony Mackie on NFL Red Carpet



Anthony Mackie
This NFL Draft installment (thanks to the Inn at Irving Place, part of the Small Luxury Hotels of The World brand) comes from The NFL Draft Red Carpet - As part of its new primetime focus, the National Football League's 2010 NFL Draft had a Oscar like "red carpet" that has been mentioned in this space. But even after the NFL Draft, there's a vast amount of video to install. (No, the timing's not bad because the name keywords that are the personalities will become important at various points in time over the next few years.)

This video shows Jillian Michaels and her publicist having a kind of tug-of-war over whether to approach Jillians' adoring fans dressed in the latest Washington Redskins fanatic fashion. Jillian's followed by The Hurt Locker's Anthony Mackie, who played "Sergeant JT Sanborn."

Mackie, who's already well-recognized career got a booster with the Academy Award Best Picture win of The Hurt Locker, said that life was great: "I have a movie coming out in July called The Adjustment Bureau, and I'm on Broadway right now doing A Behanding in Spokane, so life is good."

I asked if The Hurt Locker was the kind of movie for which a sequel could be made. The ending of the Iraq War film was controversial, with "Sergeant First Class William James" (Jeremy Renner) returning to Iraq and to the same horrifying practice of bomb diffusion he presumably wanted to get away from. Mackie's answer was a definite "no:" "On no. Oh, we can. It's called 'Still Hurt'," he said with a chuckle.

Something tells me we're going for another round of The Hurt Locker.

Stay tuned.
