No, Stefan, a Black Hole is a collapsed super-giant star. If a star is like
our sun it will grow, then shrink to a white dwarf. If it were some bigger,
it would collapse to a neutron star (where a spoonful weighs millions of
tons), and if it were a super-giant star such as Rigel it collapses under
it's own weight causing a rip in the space-time continuum.
The space toilet bowl effect is what is believed to occur because of
centrifical force from collecting objects and matter and also from collected
images of theorized black holes in the center of galaxies, Cygnus X-1, and
others.
