'bridget jones's diary ?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'old footballer's right to devour fashion mag' is the wordplay.
'old footballer's' becomes 'bests' (George Best. I am not sure about the 'old' bit.).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to devour' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are swallowed or devoured).
'fashion mag' becomes 'Elle' (Elle is a fashion magazine).
'bests'+'r'='bestsr'
'bestsr' enclosing 'elle' is 'BESTSELLER'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bestseller that I've seen before include "Dickens for instance" , "top author" .)
