Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 18, 2006, Movie Star, Inc., a New York corporation (Movie Star), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the Merger Agreement) with FOH Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (FOH), and Fred Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Movie Star (Merger Sub). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into FOH, with FOH continuing as the surviving corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Movie Star (the Merger).
Upon completion of the Merger, each share of common stock of FOH that is outstanding at the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive shares of common stock of Movie Star (Movie Star Common Stock) based on an exchange ratio of 17.811414. As a result of the Merger, Movie Star anticipates issuing approximately 23.7 million shares of Movie Star Common Stock to the stockholders of FOH.
On December 19, 2006, Movie Star and FOH issued a joint press release announcing the Merger transaction. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Before making any voting decision with respect to the proposed transaction, shareholders of Movie Star are urged to read the proxy statement and other relevant materials because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction. The proxy statement and other relevant materials, and any other documents filed by Movie Star with the SEC, may be obtained free of charge at the SECs website at www.sec.gov.
