No. So-called shooting stars or falling stars, are just bits of dirt, debris or dust that enter our atmosphere and burn up. They look like stars as they fly through our atmosphere, hence the names, though they are called meteors. Sometimes they will get through our atmopshere and land on Earth, when they are known as a meteoroid. That could never happen on a star. A star is much hotter than our atmosphere, so any dirt, debris or dust in space would be burnt up long before they reach the star, so could never go right into it.
