Jake Gyllenhaal had his twenty-seventh birthday on Wednesday (happy belated!) but his celebration doesn't look quite as much fun as
Brad Pitt's was the day before. Instead, Jakey G was hard at work on the set of his new movie
Brothers in New Mexico. We're hoping that he'll have a few more loved ones by his side for the holidays next week — whether it be with
his sister in NYC or his
girlfriend in LA or maybe as one big happy family with both.

I hold a dear place in my heart for the foodie who loves cheese. My older brother is one of those fromage fools who instantly knows his Parmesan from his pecorino. To help him become the master of mold, I plan on getting one of the following gifts.
The Afflecks — they're both talented, good looking and wealthy, so how could you choose between the two — or do you have to? Ladies, tell me, would you ever date brothers? If it didn't work out with one of them and you started developing feelings for the other one, be honest, would you ever go for the brother of your ex?

Natalie Portman looked adorable in her
LBD giving a talk at Stanford in Palo Alto yesterday. She had a huge grin on her face, but the subject matter was definitely serious —she talked to the students about global poverty and her
Village Banking Campaign, which she launched back in May. We bet lots of students came out to see Natalie, and hopefully they also learned something about doing good in the process.

This is a good-looking love triangle.
Natalie Portman has signed on to star alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire in a
remake of Susanne Bier's Danish-language film Brothers. Writer/Director Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot, In the Name of the Father, In America) will direct.
