The best opening scene EVER
Mon, 27/06/2011 - 08:33 by Mr. HM

Karen Gillan was found naked and "whimpering" by hotel guests at The Ace Hotel in Manhattan last week whilst her and Dr. Who crew had a massive party after doing some promo. No this isn't the opening paragraph of some kind of Roy Orbison clingfilm fan fiction mentalness - this actually happened.

Hear that sound? That's the sound of a billion nerdy Sonic Screwdrivers exploding into a billion socks.

Karen was over in NYC with Matt Smith and the crew to do some promotional stuff for the show, but after that finished they got stuck into a party which lasted till 7am, at which time hotel security wrapped Karen up in two towels after she was found naked and whimpering in a hotel corridor :(

The Mail quotes some dude who is a permanent resident there as saying:

‘I went to the peephole and looked out. I saw a man at the lift who was looking back at someone who was attempting to open my door… the next thing I saw was a woman giving this person at my door two towels before getting into the lift and leaving.

‘Then I saw this young woman, completely naked, trying to wrap two towels around her and not having much luck. 

‘She then started to whimper and knock on my door. Seeing that she wasn’t getting anywhere, she lay down with the towels covering her.’

Strangely enough neither the BBC or Karen Gillan's spokesperson would comment.

  • Open the door man, open the door! The poor girl is in dire need, and is probably not going to remember a thing afterwards, apart from wondering where that nasty taste in her mouth came from.

    I knew there was a reason I stuck with you after all that 'Book Club' nonsense.

  • Is there a heterosexual man in the entire world who, if woken up by a naked Karen Gillan knocking on your hotel door, wouldn't think that all their fucking christmases hadn't just arrived in one unbelievably large pile?

  • Sorry. What?

    "She then started to whimper and knock on my door. Seeing that she wasn’t getting anywhere, she lay down with the towels covering her."

    You're fine with that statement then, are you sir? Nothing about it you'd like to change? Not worried it makes you seem either like 1. a complete and utter liar or 2. a completely creepy cunt. No? Fine.

  • @fuckknuckle -- use your imagination... (But make sure you shut the door first.)

  • Meh, it happens. We've all been there after a few too many. I still wish it was me that found her. I'dve stroked her hair and said 'there there' and given her a damn good comforting. Oh yeah.
