Polaris to point at celebrity (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

north star

'polaris' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'point at celebrity' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'north' (north is a kind of point).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'celebrity' becomes 'star' (a star is a celebrity or famous person).
'north'+'star'='NORTH STAR'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for north star that I've seen before include "Polaris" , "guiding light" , "nickname of US State" , "feature of Ursa Minor" , "Navigational aid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
