Star with a gorgeous figure? (8,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heavenly body

'star' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'with a gorgeous figure?' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a gorgeous' becomes 'heavenly'.
'figure?' becomes 'body' (figure is a kind of body**).
'heavenly' put next to 'body' is 'HEAVENLY BODY'.

(Other definitions for heavenly body that I've seen before include "Star or Sun?" , "Alluring figure" , "possibly required to make cheesecake?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
