No - read the new definition of planet.

As the 4th largest planet in the solar system it is nowhere near being considered a dwarf planet - Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Earth would get that kind of designation before Neptune would even be thought of.

The only way it could become a dwarf planet would be for it to lose most of its mass; it's far too low density to shrink by collapsing into a smaller planet.

Neither, it is a full fledged planet. A gas giant to be exact.

It is not a star because to be a star there must be a nuclear fusion process going on inside the core. It is also too big to be dwarf star, and it never had fusion so it also isn't a dwarf star.
