Go have a blast, Jake!

"JAKE GYLLENHAAL, all pumped-up and studly, is still shooting Disney's "Prince of Persia" in London. But his 28th birthday is on Dec. 19, and Jake's beloved, Reese Witherspoon, had planned a lavish party for him in LA. Both stars, who are super-professional, know the importance of keeping to schedule, so they didn't hold much hope of being "together" on Jake's natal day - at least not as Reese had planned.

Good work is rewarded, however. The studio said, "Go, have a blast!" The 19th is a Friday, and Jake will probably be back in his prince costume by Monday morning, the 22nd.

SPEAKING OF Jake, his leading lady in "Prince of Persia" is British knockout Gemma Arterton, seen most re cently dallying with Daniel Craig in "Quantum of Solace." (She was the delightfully named Strawberry Fields.) Gemma is only 22, but her romantic life is already colorful.

Gemma was keeping company with handsome Spaniard, Eduardo Munoz, who was hired to train her horseback skills for "Prince of Persia." They discovered other skills in the course of events. Gemma and Eduardo quickly became a couple during the shoot in Morocco. However, when the company moved to London, his job was over. They missed each so much that Eduardo flew to Britain to be with her. It was terribly impulsive and romantic.

Sadly, "Quantum of Solace" had to open. Gemma is suddenly hot, in demand. Between scenes on "Prince . . . ", Gemma now looks glum. Eduardo is back in Spain. Success - it has its price".
