This is what I got off of the guinness.com website:
Glad you asked. The widget is a plastic molded device that sits on the top of the contents of each can of GUINNESS® Draught. When the can is opened, a small amount of beer and nitrogen, trapped in the widget, is forced out through the beer, which creates the famous creamy head that you find on a pint of GUINNESS® Draught served in a pub. The widget gives GUINNESS® Draught in cans the taste and texture of a pub-poured pint at home. In GUINNESS® Draught in bottles, the clever little 'rocket' widget floats free in the beer to refresh the creamy head of your GUINNESS® Draught with each swig you take from the bottle.

The white ball in a Guinness beer can is called a widget. It is a small plastic or metal sphere that helps recreate the creamy head of a draught pint when the can is opened. The widget releases nitrogen gas when the can is opened, producing bubbles that give the beer its signature smooth texture and creamy head.

A red star near the end of its life is cooler and is called a red giant. A white star in the middle of its life, like our sun, is a very hot ball of gas.
A white dwarf is typically about the size of Earth, which is much smaller than its main sequence size when it was a larger star. During the white dwarf phase, the star has lost its outer layers and collapsed to a much smaller size due to gravity.
