Lily Allen is apparently favourite to be his companion.

In other words, a journo has put the name to the Who team and asked them for a quote. Blind speculation on a slow-news day ...

Herewith a translation:

"We would never cast anyone on the basis of their celebrity" ...We want to employ someone who can actually act, you fool. Haven't you heard? We have a decent budget and a reputation to protect these days.

"... but if Lily wanted to audition we would be delighted." ... Let's face it, we're not going to call her, but if she phoned us it would save us the cost of the call.

"It would be a lot of fun." ...We'd all have a right laugh at her after she's gone.
