Celebrity not so much like a dark sky (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

starless

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'much like a dark sky' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'celebrity not' is the wordplay.
'celebrity' becomes 'star' (a star is a celebrity or famous person).
'not' becomes 'less' (I've seen this in other clues).
'star'+'less'='STARLESS'

'so' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for starless that I've seen before include "Like The Sky At Night, sometimes" , "Clouded over (of the night sky)" , "with nobody famous appearing" , "Dark" , "like a low-budget movie?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
