The biggest known star, although not in the 2 million star addon, is LBV 1806-20, as far as I know, but there's speculation as to wether or not it's actually two stars rather than one big super-star.

It has been discussed in another thread that the star with the highest absolute magnitude (the brightest) is the Pistol Star, a huge star near the center of the Milky Way.
