I deceive a superstar (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icon

'a superstar' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i deceive' is the wordplay.
'deceive' becomes 'con' (I've seen this before).
'i'+'con'='ICON'

(Other definitions for icon that I've seen before include "Sprites" , "Religious painting or symbol on computer screen" , "Sacred painting or representitive figure" , "Sacred painting of Greek Orthodox Church" , "A representative or sacred picture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
