解答
意味：英辞郎によると、
【形】メディアお気に入りの英辞郎には、ハイフォンを使った形容詞としか掲載されていませんが、英語のサイトでは形容詞として扱っているものが見当たりません。
基本的に名詞形です。意味としては、「人気の高い人物でとくにメディアが好意的に取り上げることが多い人」の意。
「メディアのお気に入りの人・歌手・役者・政治家等」ぐらいが適訳でしょう。
Answer
According to The Free Dictionary:A very famous and popular person who receives exceptionally positive media coverage or attention.
