Brand the Goddess of Pop 'a looker'? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

searcher

''a looker'?' is the definition.
(someone searching for something)

'brand the goddess of pop' is the wordplay.
'brand' becomes 'sear' (both can mean to burn).
'the goddess of pop' becomes 'cher' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sear'+'cher'='SEARCHER'

(Other definitions for searcher that I've seen before include "One on a quest" , "One seeking something" , "Seeker" , "One who seeks" , "Scare her (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
