Enterprise, perhaps, making celebs groovy (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

starship

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

'enterprise perhaps' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'celebs groovy' is the wordplay.
'celebs' becomes 'stars' (star can mean a famous person).
'groovy' becomes 'hip' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'stars'+'hip'='STARSHIP'

'making' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for starship that I've seen before include "Eg, the USS Enterprise" , "TV's USS Enterprise, for instance" , "The Enterprise in Star Trek is one" , "Enterprise, possibly" , "Enterprise, for example" .)
