One who accepts what happens with obese top celebrities? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fatalist

'one who accepts what happens' is the definition.
(someone resigned to fate)

'with obese top celebrities?' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'obese' becomes 'fat' (similar in meaning).
'top celebrities?' becomes 'alist' (the A-list means very famous people).
'fat' put next to 'alist' is 'FATALIST'.

(Other definitions for fatalist that I've seen before include "One with a submissive attitude to events" , "Predestinarian" , "resigned" , "One who accepts whatever happens as inevitable" , "philosophical type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
