This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for star that I've seen before include "Sign of a leading performer" , "eg The sun" , "Luminary" , "Symbol of excellence" , "Celebrity in the world of entertainment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, the King Feature Syndicate, the Penny Press, The Mirror and The Guardian.
