A celebrity embracing one eastern dancer (7)
I believe the answer is:
astaire
'dancer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a celebrity embracing one eastern' is the wordplay.
'celebrity' becomes 'star' (I've seen this in another clue).
'embracing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'star' placed around 'i' is 'stair'.
'a'+'stair'+'e'='ASTAIRE'
(Other definitions for astaire that I've seen before include "Fred --, dancer/actor" , "Fred, Hollywood dancing icon" , "US dancer (Top Hat)" , "dance performer" , "A satire about Fred, great Hollywood dancer" .)
