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

'male star breaks?' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'he' (**).
'breaks?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'broke' mean this).
'star' with letters rearranged gives 'arts'.
'he'+'arts'='HEARTS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hearts that I've seen before include "Scottish team" , "Card suits in bodies" , "Edinburgh football team - suit" , "Body pumps" , "Suit for vital organs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
