Protagoniza is a conjugated verb, as in "he stars in the movie X". The corresponding noun is protagonista.
Estrella is a star in the sky or a celebrity.
Astro is a star as consider by an astrophysicist.

Thank you for the correction as to star in the sky is astro! - bandit51jd, May 9, 2011
If you were talking about stars you see in the sky, you would use estrella. - lorenzo9, May 9, 2011

I'm not sure but 'protagoniza' sounds like the English word 'protagonist' which means 'main character', so 'protagoniza' almost definitely refers to human stars.

Thanks for this answer, I didn't know about the "main character" part. Thank you again! - bandit51jd, May 9, 2011

la estrella = "star in the sky"
one use of la protagoniza - "film or movie star"
I am sure of the first one, I am not quite as certain for the second one.
