I have a 1.8in TFT-LCD color screen. Can it work with PI-Star? Is so can anyone direct me to or thru the steps to get it to work?

I have no experience with that type of screen, but FYI, here are the Type of Display Choices in the MMDVMHost Configuration section of Pi-Star's Configuration page:
OLED, Nextion, HD44780, TFT Serial, or LCDproc

Uses the hardware SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0, CE1) as well as GPIO #25 and #24. GPIO #18 can be used to PWM dim the backlight if you like. All other GPIO are unused.
Definitely SPI, I tried to connect one to my hotspot and no surprise it didn't work. Nextion is serial HMI, this one is SPI based.
