Celebrity in tabloid? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

star

I believe this is a double definition.

'celebrity' is the first definition.
(I know that star is a type of celebrity)

'tabloid?' is the second definition.
(I know that Star is a tabloid)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for star that I've seen before include "Eg, Betelgeuse" , "White blaze on a horse's forehead" , "Leading actor in a show" , "Outstanding entertainer" , "Five-pointed celestial body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
