Rights of celebrities to collect fare (10)
I believe the answer is:
starboards
'rights' is the definition.
(starboard means right on a ship)
'celebrities to collect fare' is the wordplay.
'celebrities' becomes 'stars' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to collect' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are collected by others).
'fare' becomes 'board' (board is a kind of fare).
'stars' enclosing 'board' is 'STARBOARDS'.
'of' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
