Where is Jake Gyllenhaal?

Jake GyllenhaalJake Gyllenhaal has yet to be seen or heard from since the death of his close friend, Heath Ledger -- and people on the set of his new film are working hard to keep it that way.

Gyllenhaal is in New Mexico, currently filming his new movie, "Brothers." We're told there are no plans to shut down production, but Jake is very upset and doesn't want to talk to the media -- so the set has been closed to non-crew members and extra security has been hired.

Jake is the godfather to Heath's daughter, Matilda Rose.

47. Well hopefully he can provide some "fathering" to Heath's daughter. How sad. The whole thing is just so damn sad.

48. noitall, you are the weirdo freak, idiot. Jake deserves his peace and privacy to grieve. Leave him alone!

49. Get on a Plane Jake, since we don't know exactly what the plans are for funeral or memorial services you can't accuse Jake of not being a close friend. There are conflicting reports that there won't be any service but a funeral in Australia. Then there are reports of a memorial service in L.A. and/or NYC at the end of the week. It is only Wednesday. Jake still has time to get to NYC or L.A.

51. There's no reason for Jake to fly to NY, unless to be a support system for Michelle. I'm sure his family hasn't flown in. If his funeral is being held in Australia (thank GOD, so all the media vultures and hate mongers will stay away), it's not to anybody's benefit to go through the additional stress of traveling. Heath may have had a will in place that designated Michelle to act as next of kin, even though they weren't married. She may have HAD to return to positively ID the body and for him to be released to her.

52. I was wondering about Jake and how he was dealing with all this.
Please, TMZ, I know it's your job, but please PLEASE leave Matilda, Jake and Michelle alone for now.
They must be devastated.
Jake said he and Heath made Brokeback and became best friends. Just let him grieve his friend and try to go on.

53. You gotta feel for the guy; his buddy is dead, his god daughter & his buddy's wife is in pain, and he can't leave to do anything about it. That really sucks...

Let's give the Heath Ledger thing a rest, TMZ. Do what you do best: showing what an unbelievable dumbass & retard SLUTney spears is...

56. Who exactly is it that needs to see or hear from Jake? He is no doubt grieving over the sudden loss of his friend and should be left alone, along with Michelle and the rest of Heath's family and friends.

57. was he the last to butt do heath or was it one of the olsen twins?

58.

God Bless Heath, Matilda, and all his family and friends, including Jake. We love you Jake baby and know how devastated you must be. Prayers to and love for you all.

59. i'm not a person who is terribly enamored by celebrities; i find many of them to be shallow self-obsessed morons. the simplicity in the way he lead his life was a refreshing change from the norm. perhaps that is why there seems to be a very public outpouring of emotion because of his death.

60. Jeez! AndI was so sure that the *first* thing on Jake's mind would be calling Miss Harvey and Her Merry Band of Ghouls.

Get a frickin' grip, girls!
