There's tons of hotel news flying around this week and we don't have time to give each and every story the love and attention it may deserve, so you will have to settle for some news briefs.

· Naomi Watts Hits up the Mercer: The Celebrity Babies Blog (oy) posted a snapshot of Naomi Watts at The Mercer Hotel today.

· Donald Trump Takes Care of J-Hud: Donald Trump has a heart. And he's giving it to the grieving Jennifer Hudson by letting her and her family stay at the Trump Chicago Hotel and Tower for free. [Chicago Sun-Times]

· Layoffs Hit Hotel Amenity Company: Marietta Corp. in upstate NY which makes small bottles of shampoos and other hotel amenity items has laid off 130 employees. Could it be due to the demand for sexy in-room dispensers?

· Anthony Bourdain is Loyal to the Raleigh: Speaking of The Raleigh Hotel today, Anthony Bourdain says this is his favorite hotel in South Beach.

The food at The Raleigh is decent and I come down with my family and hide. [Miami Herald]

· Cooper Square Hotel Folks Like Cooper Square Hotel: We're not quite seeing but apparently, the tide is turning in favor of the Cooper Square Hotel. [Curbed]

New York's Fashion Week means the intersection of divas, threads, and posing. So what better convergence than Vogue and Dreamgirls?

FashionWeek Daily reports that the magazine's resident big man on campus, Andre Leon Talley, is throwing a New York Fashion Week soiree for big voice, Oscar winner, former American Idol, and Democratic Convention anthem-singing celeb Jennifer Hudson, next Tuesday, September 9.

And he's picked no better place to clink those champagne glasses than inside the Penthouse suite at the recently face-lifted The Morgan Hotel, just a leafy amble from the Conde Nast building and across Bryant Park (although it's for sure guests will arrive in stretches and sedans).

Attendees will get a glimmer of the hotel's big changes -- according to the website, the grand reopening officially launches on September 16th.
