Red Star was consumed with passion (8)
I believe the answer is:
sunburnt
'red' is the definition.
(be red after being in the sun)
'star was consumed with passion' is the wordplay.
'star' becomes 'sun' (the Sun is a star).
'was consumed with passion' becomes 'burnt' (burn with strong emotion).
'sun'+'burnt'='SUNBURNT'
(Other definitions for sunburnt that I've seen before include "Well-tanned" , "Red'" , "Overly tanned" .)
