BRAD PITT - STARS FLOCK TO MEXICO

Mexico's Baja Peninsula became a star-studded hangout over the weekend (25-27JUL03), with an array of celebrities flocking to the sun-kissed haven.

BRAD PITT and his wife JENNIFER ANISTON have set up temporary home in a private estate in the area, where the actor is on the second leg of filming his much-anticipated epic TROY.

They recently chartered LAS VENTANAS, a 55-foot private yacht. They snorkelled, kayaked and swam where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean.

On the other side of town, many stars attended the CABO JAZZ FESTIVAL to hear performers including CHAKA KHAN and NESTOR TORRES at the PUEBLO BONITO HOTEL AND RESORT's Sunset Beach.

LANCE BASS, SHANNON ELIZABETH, DRU HILL and ANTHONY MICHAEL HALL were among those there, while RACHEL HUNTER arrived with her two children and sister.

Bass, who spent the day at the pool with pals, says, "I love jazz. I grew up in New Orleans, where it's all about jazz and blues. Chaka's a friend of mine."
