PUZZLE #83: 5-Star Stumper 2

PUZZLE #83

5-STAR STUMPER 2

Happy Independence Day, everybody! To celebrate the occasion, I've decided to make another red, white, and blue "5-Star Stumper" puzzle (even though the last one was less than two months ago)! In case you need a refresher on how to solve one of these, read on for the directions!

The answer to each numbered pair of clues go in the 10 spaces surrounding each correspondingly numbered star in the grid. The first answer of each set starts in the appropriately numbered space (with the arrow in the same space telling you which direction to go), and the second answer follows immediately after. Meanwhile, the answers that go in the red stripe surrounding the grid are clued in order, and even though it's up to you to determine where the chain of answers begins, we can tell you that the red stripe's answers go clockwise.

Once the entire grid has been filled in, reading the white spaces from left to right and top to bottom will reveal this week's FINAL ANSWER: A song with a patriotic-sounding title

STARS
1) Latina nurse from Scrubs
    Healthcare insurance company in the Fortune 100 (and numerous crosswords)
2) Type of patch that Br'er Rabbit got thrown in
    Hunter who became fat in four Merrie Melodies shorts
3) Zap in the microwave, slangily
    Shepherd who hosted the most recent version of The Newlywed Game
4) Character from Greek myth who didn't know that wax wings melt in the sun
    Prefix meaning "six" (hey, that rhymes!)
5) Dot seen in dollars and cents
    Villain-turned-adoptive father from Despicable Me

RED STRIPE
* Goddess who married Zeus
* Horse gait that's slower than a gallop
* Tool to touch up photos before Photoshop came about
* Quiz or test
* Diamonds, in hip-hop slang
* Bo and Luke who are hated by Boss Hogg

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle (don't forget that that one is also a CONTEST PUZZLE!). If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
