No, they are not even in the same constellation.
In terms of size from smallest to largest, its Sirius, Pollux, Aldebaran, Rigel, Betelgeuse, Antares, and KY Cygni.
It's in the constellation of Taurus, the brightest star in that constellation.
No, Pollux is not a white dwarf star. It is an orange giant star that is nearing the end of its life cycle. White dwarfs are remnants of stars like the Sun after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
Jupiter is the only bright planet near Aldebaran just now (Feb. 2013).
Aldebaran or Alpha Tauri is a Orange Giant star of type K5III about 65.2ly from Earth. All hydrogen fusion has ceased in the core of the star and has moved to a shell surrounding the core. Due to gravitational forces the temperature in the core of the star has greatly increased but is not currently sufficient for Helium fusion. As a result the star has increased in diameter dramatically. With the mass of 1.7 solar masses it has a diameter 44.2 times that of the sun. As the star matures eventually helium fusion will begin in the core and will become a Red Giant Star.

Aldebaran is the brightest star in the constellation of the Gemini
The Pollux Star is located in the Beta Geminorum
The surface temperature of the Pollux star is 4,500 K
The brightest star in the constellation Taurus is Aldebaran. It is an orange giant star located about 65 light-years away from Earth. Aldebaran is easily visible to the naked eye and is often referred to as the "eye of the bull" in Taurus.
Pollux is a star in the constellation of Gemini, approximately 34 light-years away from Earth. It is not a galaxy, but rather a binary star system consisting of a bright giant star and a fainter companion star.
The brightest star in the constellation Taurus is Aldebaran. It is an orange giant star located about 65 light-years away from Earth. Aldebaran is known for its distinctive appearance and its position as the "eye" of the bull in Taurus.
It's in the constellation of Taurus, the brightest star in that constellation.
The beta star of Gemini is Pollux. The two bright stars of Gemini are Castor and Pollux. Although Pollux is the brightest star in Gemini, Castor was named alpha-Gemini (despite being second brightest), therefore, Pollux is beta-Gemini. Pollux is the one more southerly and easterly.
Pollux is 34 light-years from Earth.
Pollux is about 3.1957665 × 1014 kilometres from us
