A year of good food:
Good friends:

Another trip to the Oscars:
Perhaps another musical road trip:
More pickup basketball games:
But really, we just wish for days of fun, adventure, peace and happiness. So let's raise a glass and toast Jake's 31 years:
To many happy returns of the day!

Sitting next to jake gyllenhaal at soul cycle, great start to the week :)
Aww, what sweet birthday wishes for Jake from everyone! And good birthday news for us about the Berlinale. Maybe for Christmas/Hanukkah, we'll hear about a new role! (Yes, I'm greedy.)
I loved that first pic, Paula. I can't remember where I found it on tumblr or I would have credited.
Thanks, Sheba. There really is something special about Jake, and I'm glad to be here with people who appreciate it/him.
Is that Adam Levine withJake in the 3rd pic UV?
Yup, Shondra. It's from last week in LA. I tried to use new photos for the post, which is why the Railroad Revival ones are so bad, lol. But I hadn't seen them before!
Definitely hard to find Jake news amid the explosion of birthday wishes on twitter. It's fun to read them.
At Soul Cycle on his birthday! Hope that's to prepare for the big meal/cake he's going to have later.
He's also been seen on the train:

WOW! What a Montage of Wonderful Jake Pics UV, some I've never seen. TY so much:)
Just looking at the loads of wonderful wishes, from all of us to a most fantastic actor, Jake, who inspired me to become a Senior Gyllenhaalic. I still love him and I love using my Senior Gyllenhaalic title, when I can, shamelessly, to move ahead in line, whenever I go to see Jake movies!
Happy Birthday Jake.!
I've watched all your films since October Sky with my son. I love your talent, your kind gentle nature, and how you care for those people in life, less fortunate. Thank God you came along while I am on earth. God Bless you and your family. May you have all the happiness you desire and have HAPPY HOLIDAYS--BOTH
Hanukkah, which begins at sunset on Tuesday, December 20, 2011, and ends at sunset on Wednesday, December 28, 2011 (TY Google) and of course Christmas.
WE LOVE YOU...GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!
I found it by posting Jake Gyllenhaal, who knew? I'm so bad at this, which means more time online :lol
I forgot to CONGRATULATE JAKE FOR HIS NEW HONOR...
"COLOGNE, Germany – Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal, French star Charlotte Gainsbourg and legendary German diva Barbara Sukowa are among the VIPs making up the jury at next year’s Berlin International Film Festival (Feb. 9 – 19)"
What an honor for the best actor in the entire world...
hyperbole anyone:lol NOT!
That statement is true...
happily off to CVS:)
Wishing Jake a very Happy Birthday, Hanukkah/Christmas!
And thanks Jake for starring in some of my all time favorite movies like DD, BBM, Jarhead and SC and may you continue.
And congrats on being named to sit on the jury at the Berlin, what an honor!
Happy Birthday and Chanukah and Xmas. Jake.
I hope you have had a great day. Congrats on being on the Jury in Berlin
Lily
Happy, happy, birthday Mr G!!
Thank you so much for creating some of the most fascinating characters on screen over the years.
Hope you are having a blast today and UV the photos are perfect for a perfect post.
And what great news about Jake being a juror for the Berlin film festival!!!
From twitter, one of the Soul Cyclers talks a bit more about Jake:

I'm not gonna lie - JG looked good. His presence was horrifying but motivating.
LOL - I can totally understand that reaction.
And this made me laugh:
We had lobster for dinner. When I asked my mom what the special occasion was, she said "it's Jake Gyllenhall's birthday" #cantmakethisshitup
I added a photo of Jake from the RRT, I think taken after they played that Austin basketball game.
Sass, glad you found all the Jake tweets :) They keep coming!

jake gyllenhaal interrupted my afternoon snack today and we had ourselves a nice long talk #likeafamousbrothertome #yesthisreallyhappened"
I'm a bad fan, happy belated birthday Jake!!
I remember Jae attending the NYFF screenings so he has good practice for the Berlin Film festival:)
The NY tweets are the best, thanks for posting them here since i'm not really into twitter and I love the Jake trough the years on this post.
Oh, hiiiii Jake Gyllenhaal at @LaColombeCoffee in TriBeCa. Hi, too, door I just ran into.

I thought I'd share 31 Jake sexy shots

Happy birthday! That's cool. Looks like a pretty fun life. Normal guy stuff.
is Jake still going to the Soul Cycle at Union Station?
Lily
FYI: I just read that E! has not renewed Ben Lyons contract. Which is to say he's been let go. Terminated. Jake always had a good time with him whatever his shortcomings were, and I enjoyed it when the of them did an interview.
That's super sad about Ben Lyons. I am shocked. I know he has interviewed Jake a few times, and he was honestly the only thing I liked about E!. :( This is sad news.
However, HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY Jake!
Happy Hannukkah Jake!
sass
Wishing Jake and his family a very Happy Hanukkah!
How Jake celebrated his Birthday according to the NY Post:
Jake Gyllenhaal celebrated his 31st birthday with a SoulCycle spin class in Union Square on Monday morning and dinner with friends at Peter Luger in Brooklyn. The “Source Code” star and his actress sister, Maggie, “Love and Other Drugs” co-star Oliver Platt and a handful of close friends shared a low-key meal at the steakhouse. A spy said a “lumberjack chic” Gyllenhaal hung out at the bar and then enjoyed a cake that his mother, Naomi Foner, brought to the restaurant.

Happy Chanukah Jake!
Lily
Happy Hanukkah to Jake and to all who celebrate!
Peter Lugar's Steak House has been on my "to do" list for years! : )
Maybe one day...
(Odd facts: Oliver Platt's brother Adam is the food critic for New York Magazine. )

Hey there babblers,
Just saw Fincher's movie and was it ever intense!
Whoa. Babblers who read the book let me know if U are
happy with the film. I can't read novels anymore--
Adult onset ADD--so please let me know!
One of Fincher's.
Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate

Happy Hanukkah to Jake and all that celebrate here on GB!
Sass...Anon 3:17, unable to sign on my cell when I posted earlier...lost the signal.
I can only imagine what Jake would/could do with Daniel Craig's role...too bad Fincher won't use him for now. Rooney Mara's performance is phenomenal...unbelievable...the best I've seen in a long time. And considering, what she had to do for this film, and the fantastic performance she gave, I think she'll be nominated for an Oscar by the Academy and perhaps the film as well...who knows with Hollywood...
.
Happy Hanukkah to Jake and all who are celebrating!
Happy Belated Birthday to Jake.
Did he make love to a beautiful woman or make love to a beautiful man, I guess we will never know. Hopefully he had a great time.
I always thought it would be great to see Jake in a jury of film festival. And I was very happy to read that he will be at Berlin film festival.
In the festival's official website, all of you can read about each one that will be part of the jury:

Thanks for the link, monica. The write up for Jake is very nice. I wish they would have included Rendition, since Gavin Hood was also an Oscar winning director. : )
such a good collection of pics of Jake, Ultraviolet, Merry Christmas!
Hope everyone is making progress in their holiday prep, and enjoying it ; ) I'm SO exhausted, but the house sparkles, and I'm done shopping. Almost. My family will be here for our "eve of Christmas Eve" dinner, tonight, then I get to collapse. Looking forward to spending time with my daughters, too. : )
Bobbyanna, you are not alone!I've been doing some house cleaning too and last minute shopping but my Christmas eve is going to be calm because I have to work on Christmas day and new year's eve :(
I'm hoping for a calm Christmas day in the E.R.( on new years eve i just hope to sit for 5 minutes) and I feel blessed because when my shift ends I get to go home and spend the rest of the day with my family knowing we have the most important thing in life: health.
Shopping all done and looking forward to spending Christmas Eve and Day with my family and BF on Long Island.
Wishing, Paula C and everyone here a very Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating!
Jake must have taken a late class today - I've seen a couple of tweets pop up:

Merry Christmas, everyone, and Happy Hanukkah, too.
I've been on work overload, but spent the evening with my nieces and nephews, so that was fun. Tomorrow, I have some last-minute shopping then a Christmas tradition of champagne/drinks with friends.
Then I just have to get home to wait for Santa :)
Bobbyanna, I'm glad your girls will be home with you. Paula C, I'm sorry you have to work! I hope for a peaceful day for you, too. Chica, glad you got your shopping done. Wish I could say the same!
