pop star

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

'the world of entertainment?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'father figure' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pop' (pop is a kind of father).
'figure' becomes 'star' (star is a kind of figure).
'pop'+'star'='POP-STAR'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pop star that I've seen before include "Chart musician" , "Musical celebrity" , "Popular singer" .)
