'superstar' is the definition.
(Madonna the pop star)

'heavenly bread circulating around party' is the wordplay.
'heavenly bread' becomes 'manna' (as in manna from heaven).
'circulating' indicates putting letters inside (to circulate is to go round).
'around party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party. I am not sure about the 'around' bit.).
'manna' placed around 'do' is 'MADONNA'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
