Explanation:
Matinee idol oznacava licnost koja je nekriticno obozavana, po nekim izvorima uglavnom od zena.

U nekim recnicima su matinee idol i idol cak sinonimi.
Ipak, ukoliko je titl u pitanju, a u ovom kontekstu, mozete upotrebiti i "velika zvezda" (sa navodnicima).

teenage idol (tinejdzerski idol) ili filmski idol


Explanation:
Matineja je filmska predstava prijepodne - znaci radi se o filmskom ili tinejdzerskom idolu. Ne znam koliko je termin matinee poznat u ovom znacenju kod vase target publike (google hits pokazuju sve osim jutarnjih predstava) i mislim da ne bi razumjeli matinee idol ili slicnu kovanicu.

neutral  RINA LINGUISTIC SERVICES, Katarina Radojevic- Mitrovic: matinee-a theatrical performance held during the daytime (especially in the afternoon)/ocigledno se nismo razumeli, jer i ja govorim da je to primenjivo na engleskom jez. "Matinee idol" je takodje napisano na engl., ne na SR, pa nisam mogla dodati -ski
6 hrs
  -> Ima, ali na engleskom jeziku. Ne znam da li sva target audience to razumije. Osm toga, fali adjektivni sufix - ski: Kako bi zvucalo da kazete film idol umjesto filmski idol ili muzik idol - muzicki idol.
