Beautiful people in centre of storm encountering limits of celebrity (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
eye candy
'beautiful people' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in centre of storm encountering limits of celebrity' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'centre of storm' becomes 'eye' (as in the eye of the storm).
'encountering' becomes 'cay' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'limits of' means to remove the middle letters.
'celebrity' becomes 'noted' (I've seen this before).
'noted' with its middle removed is 'nd'.
'eye'+'cay'='eyecay'
'eyecay' placed around 'nd' is 'EYE CANDY'.
(Other definitions for eye candy that I've seen before include "visual feast" , "Visually attractive thing" , "Vacuous Adonis" , "One who is visually pleasing" , "Gorgeous thing" .)
