Star treatment created with PR, somehow (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red carpet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'star treatment' is the definition.
'red carpet' can be an answer for 'treatment' (I have seen 'special treatment' mean 'red carpet' so perhaps 'treatment' could also mean 'red carpet'). I'm not sure about the 'star' bit.

'created with pr somehow' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'created' after 'pr' is 'prcreated'.
'prcreated' anagrammed gives 'RED-CARPET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for red carpet that I've seen before include "base for celebrities" , "celebrity treatment" , "sort of deferential treatment?" , "laid down for the elite" , "Roll it out for VIP" .)
