Among the paucity of feel-good stories to emerge from this year’s Academy Awards, few out-heartwarmed that of Once’s buskers-turned-Oscar winners Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. Even fewer, reports Time Magazine, can yield the kind of cross-media windfall spawned by their strategically marketed songcraft:

The duo, who have performed in relative obscurity under the name The Swell Season since 2006, now have an Oscar and a Grammy. Once is the best-selling album on iTunes and the #9 DVD on Amazon. Their label expects sales of the album to triple in the next week.

The pair is gearing up for a U.S. tour: Instead of the 75-seat clubs and bars The Swell Season played last year, they’ll be headlining venues like Radio City Music Hall and the Coachella Music Festival. There was one other blessing the film wrought — Hansard and Irglova fell in love while promoting Once last spring.

Bravely acknowledging “[t]here’s nothing quite like the Oscars as a promotional vehicle,” a Fox spokesman toed a company line with a trajectory secretly stretching all the way into 2015, when Once Over – the third Once sequel after the incrementally diminishing returns of Once More, Once Again and their accompanying Hansard/Irglova Happy Meal action figures — will be released direct to YouTube with Miley Cyrus and Zac Efron filling in as lo-fi lovebirds at the helm of a violently franchise-ending ‘tween folk apocalypse. Asked to confirm that Diablo Cody is attached to direct, the spokesman declined comment.

Whatever quasi-Chosen One Maddox Jolie-Pitt wants, he will get. Even if he walks into a candy store and the first thing he lays his pretty eyes on is a pack of gum labeled “I Heart My Penis.” And we couldn’t be more thrilled to report that mom/saint Angelina Jolie hasn’t given up her kinky ways just because she’s a grown women with a soccer team for a family. As an Us source claims, “[Angelina] laughed and bought it.” If you’ll allow us one crude attempt at humor on this Friday afternoon, we’re left wondering this: if little Mad hearts his penis now, what’s he gonna do when puberty hits? Here’s hoping there’s an “I Really, Really Heart My Penis” gum brand in the works. [Us]

The first review of Will Ferrell’s new movie just came in and, wow, it’s a doozy. No, we’re not talking about Semi-Pro, which opens today; we’re talking about Ferrell’s next movie, Step Brothers, which was produced by Judd Apatow and directed by Adam McKay. The film, set to open in late July, screened in Los Angeles last night. A Defamer tipster was in the audience and passed an early review our way. Based on some of the pullquotes (if, indeed, you can call words lifted from an email tip “pullquotes”), this sounds like it’s going to be closer to Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story than Talledega Nights in terms of both laughs and B.O. We hate to say it, but it’s looking more and more like John C. Reilly is Box Office Poison when cast in anything other than a supporting role. Full review after the jump, but here’s a few of the choice quotes: “The story makes no sense - repetitive, forced and predictable would be compliments” and “the dialogue is less entertaining and envelope-pushing than anything on Two and a Half Men.” Ouch!
