'what superstar expects ringing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'one after lead?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'billing' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'lead?' becomes 'top' (I've seen this in other clues).
'billing' after 'top' is 'TOP BILLING'.

'about' is the link.
