Jake Gyllenhaal is getting by with a little help from his friends -- the attractive, celebrity kind who can get him back in the game after his recent split from Reese Witherspoon.

Gyllenhaal was spotted in snowy New York City partying with Justin Theroux and Mark Ronson, hitting up a benefit for AIDS charity God’s Love We Deliver.

Gyllenhaal was having a ball talking to actor Matt Dillon, according to onlookers at the Smyth Tribeca Hotel, while Ronson provided beats for guests like Mary-Louise Parker and Josh Hartnett. Also seen: Gina Gershon, Philip Seymour Hoffman and an affectionate Agyness Deyn.

We say kudos to Jake for being social -- a breakup during the holidays begs for lots of good cheer from random, attractive strangers.

After the holidays, Jake will gear up for the May release of his ab-tastic epic ‘Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.’

Can’t wait? That’s why we put the trailer up there for ya.
