кинозвезда [kinozvezda]

[Charles Byrd]

I'm afraid I didn't have an answer for a beginning language-learner's questions: 

Is this term applicable to male stars?  Can it absorb masculine gender, like 
"плакса" [plaksa]?  Which of the following, if any, is acceptable?

1)Брад Питт - известный американский кинозвезда.

   [Brad Pitt - izvestnyi amerikanskii kinozvezda.]

2)Брад Питт - известная американская кинозвезда.

   [Brad Pitt - izvestnaia amerikanskaia kinozvezda.]

Thanks,
