Quarrel with some popular guests (5)
I believe the answer is:
argue
'quarrel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'with some popular guests' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ARGUE' is hidden within 'some popular guests'.
(Other definitions for argue that I've seen before include "Dispute, express angry words" , "Quarrel or disagree" , "Disagree heatedly" , "Fall out" , "Fabric hanging in folds" .)
