  We report the preliminary results of the azimuthal correlations between
$D^{*\pm}$ mesons and charged hadrons ($D^{*}$-h) measured by the STAR
experiment in proton+proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 500 GeV. Results at
mid-rapidity in the transverse-momentum range 8 $\le$ $p^{D^{*}}_{T}$ $\le$ 20
GeV/$c$ are compared with light hadron triggered correlations (h-h) and PYTHIA
predictions. We also present an exploratory study of azimuthal correlations
between $D^{*+}$ and $D^{*-}$ mesons in p+p collisions. The prospects of
measuring heavy-flavor triggered correlations in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC
energies are also discussed.
