Something that you say which means that you or someone you know can do something
better than a person who is famous for doing that thing. "I'm taking singing
lessons. Celine Dion, eat your heart out!"

Celine Dion?!?!? That's debatable! heh! Maybe "Beatles, eat your heart out"; or
"Frank Sinatra...."

"Eat one`s heart out" also means "feel very unhappy, especially because one
wants something one cannot have":

Since he left, she`s been sitting at home eating her heart out

(Oxford Dictionary ;)
