Star with lots of fans (4)

I believe the answer is:

idol

(Other definitions for idol that I've seen before include "Superstar; graven image" , "Someone much loved" , "Graven image or greatly admired person" , "Sacred image" , "A matinee -- is a handsome actor" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
