Crossword Genius

Follow celebrity showing heavenly body (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dogstar

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

'heavenly body' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'follow celebrity' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'dog' (dog can mean to follow or torment).
'celebrity' becomes 'star' (a star is a celebrity or famous person).
'dog'+'star'='DOGSTAR'

'showing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dogstar that I've seen before include "This the brightest" , "animal on TV?" , "Bright night light" .)
