No. For example, let's say you somehow had a star shaped like a donut because it's spinning around and "centrifugal force" is making it hollow. It wouldn't stay like that because the collisions between gas (actually plasma) molecules would cause molecules to go different speeds and the slower ones would fall to the center, which would fill in the donut.

The word "hallows" has been used in legends to represent important and powerful objects.The Tuatha de Danaan in Ireland possessed six hallows: Manannan’s house, Goibniu’s shirt and tools, Lochlan’s helmet, Alba’s shears, a fishskin belt and Asal’s pig bones. These were guarded by the four Guardians of the Hallows: Manannan the god of the sea, Lugh, Cumhal and Fionn.
As the legend evolved through the centuries, these hallows became the Four Treasures or Hallows of Ireland: the Spear of Lugh, Stone of Fal, the Sword of Light of Nuada, and The Dagda's Cauldron. These were adapted to become the four suits in the Rider-Waite Tarot cards deck (swords, batons, coins and cups), and also took on the representation of the four classical elements of earth, air, fire and water.
Coronation ceremonies for monarchs still invokes four ritual objects, now represented as the sceptre, sword, ampulla of oil, and crown. Similar objects also appear in Arthurian legends, where the Fisher King is the guardian of four hallows representing the four elements: a dish (earth), Arthur's sword Excalibur (air), the Holy Lance or spear, baton, or a magic wand (fire), and the Holy Grail (water).

No. they cant be hollow. a star is just a giant boulder up in space. so say u see this giant boulder sitting infront of you, that is exactly what a star is just way bigger and in space.
stars arent hollow
cool fact: the closest star would take 43 years traveling at the speed of light (the speed of light is 186,282 miles per second) So those tiny stars you look up at every clear not are actually soooooooooo much big there the sun.

No, stars become more and more dense the closer you get to the core. A hollow star would not be gravitationally possible - it would collapse.

Do you mean "hollow"? No. They are always full of primarily hydrogen and helium.
