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

'furrowing one's brow at what scandalous celeb' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'doing?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'doing?' could be 'making' (doing is a kind of making) and 'making' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'headlines' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'is' acts as a link.
