You know, the kind that hotels used to stash in the desks so that you could send your friends smarmy "Wish You Were Here" notes? Sure, lots of hotels are still doing the postcard and stationary thing--probably even the Carlyle still--but in these green days where hotels are eliminating paper waste at every turn (even check-in and check-out!), hotel postcards are a dying breed.

(They googled old-fashioned girl names and came up with Hattie. Hopefully no one is naming their child "Twitter" or "Occupy" anytime soon.) But according to director Ron Howard, there's another inspiration for children's names--HOTELS.<a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/what_in_name_ggujWOlhT1JxKr771ZM63H">Page Six</a> learned that Howard gave his two twin daughters the middle name, Carlyle as in <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Carlyle+New+York/local/627">The Carlyle Hotel</a> on the Upper East Side

Posh was spotted leaving the hotel yesterday, after having made a rather good showing at New York Fashion Week with her namesake fashion line this year. Could the Carlyle be providing her with all those "in love and light" vibes she keeps tweeting about? (Also, who stole this light from who--Posh or Danielle Staub from RHONJ?) Aside from twittering up a storm during Fashion Week, Posh recently <a href="http://twitpic.com/2kwjmg">tweeted</a> a picture of her bulldog, Coco, with painted

Last night’s finale was all about Kelly’s birthday—and her favorite hotel, the Carlyle New York.

Um, well, it does and it's huge. And expensive. And the New York Observer got itself a hot little tour of the place and published pics of it <a href="http://www.observer.com/2009/slideshow/111257/roger-federer-suite">here</a>. Up on the 16th floor of the luxe NY hotel lies a two-bedroom suite that costs $3,075 a night, and it has been where the ultra-hunky champ has called home while he's played in each U.S. Open since 2007 (we know he usually prefers to hit up the Four Seasons otherwise). We're talkin' RF monogrammed pillows, some pretty ridiculously opulent bathroom decor, an espresso machine, and even some leopard print rug-action in the master
