Item 4.01.

Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a) Effective February 26, 2008, Frederick’s of Hollywood Group Inc. (formerly, Movie Star, Inc.) (the “Registrant”) engaged its current independent registered public accounting firm, Mahoney Cohen & Company, CPA, P.C. (“Mahoney Cohen”) to continue as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm following the merger (the “Merger”) of the Registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Fred Merger Corp., with FOH Holdings, Inc. (“FOH Holdings”). Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm for FOH Holdings and its subsidiaries. The Merger has been treated as a reverse acquisition transaction accounted for as a purchase by FOH Holdings. Therefore, FOH Holdings is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the financial statements of FOH Holdings have become the financial statements of the Registrant in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the continuation of Mahoney Cohen as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm is deemed to be a change in the Registrant’s certifying accountant from Deloitte to Mahoney Cohen. The decision to engage Mahoney Cohen and to dismiss Deloitte was approved by the Audit Committee of the Registrant’s Board of Directors.

During the last two fiscal years ended July 28, 2007 and July 29, 2006 and any subsequent interim period, (i) there were no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report, and (ii) Deloitte’s report did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except for explanatory paragraphs relating to the retrospective adjustment to the financial statements for (a) FOH Holdings’ change in accounting method in 2006 for the change in control that occurred on March 3, 2005, to conform to Emerging Issues Task Force Topic: Push-Down Accounting, D-97, to the 2005 financial statements and (b) the historical presentation of discontinued operations for stores that closed during the prior periods presented.

Except as described below, during the two fiscal years ended July 28, 2007 and July 29, 2006 and any subsequent interim period, there were no “reportable events” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The audit committee of the board of directors of FOH Holdings has discussed the material weaknesses below with Deloitte, and the Registrant and FOH Holdings has authorized Deloitte to respond fully to the inquiries of a successor auditor concerning the subject matter below.

In connection with Deloitte’s audit of the annual financial statements of FOH Holdings for the years ended July 28, 2007 and July 29, 2006, Deloitte advised FOH Holdings that it believed the following matters constituted material weaknesses:

Material weakness relating to the financial closing process – FOH Holdings did not perform reconciliations of significant accounts on a timely basis and did not perform an appropriate level of review to ensure accuracy in the reconciliations that are performed. Furthermore, errors were identified that resulted in both post-closing entries adjustments and uncorrected adjustments to the interim and annual financial statements. This condition results from a deficiency in the design and operation of internal control over financial reporting.

Material weakness relating to inadequate cut-off controls – FOH Holdings had inadequate procedures to ensure that all costs incurred during the period were properly recorded at period ends. This condition results from a deficiency in design and operation of internal control over financial reporting.

The Registrant provided Deloitte with a copy of the disclosures made pursuant to this Item 4.01 prior to the filing of this Amendment No. 1 to the Form 8-K. The Registrant requested Deloitte to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with such disclosures and, if not, to state the respects in which it does not agree. Deloitte’s letter, dated April 10, 2008, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Amendment No. 1 to the Form 8-K.

(b) Since Mahoney Cohen was the independent registered public accountants of the Registrant prior to the Merger, FOH Holdings did discuss the Merger with Mahoney Cohen. The discussions with Mahoney Cohen, however, were not a condition of the Merger or a condition of engaging Mahoney Cohen as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm. Additionally, FOH Holdings has not consulted with Mahoney Cohen during the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period, regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Registrant nor oral advice was provided that Mahoney Cohen concluded was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instruction to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
