The Globe reports that Tom Cruise has rented out the Zakim for Sunday so he can land a helicopter on it. Alas, no word on how much it costs to inconvenience motorists like that, but, hey, I bet we could crowdsource the fee and have a heckuva party, just like one of those vodka ads where they fill a swimming pool up with foam cubes and jump in.

Alan LeBovidge gets to keep his job, too.

What are the odds the turnpike authority takes the money then doesn't turn the lights back on?

Take a page from the T, put ads on the sides of the bridge and then light them up.

The turnpike authority is canning the lights to save money - and is considering shutting off every fourth light in the Big Dig tunnels - the Globe reports, adding, however, the authority will continue to splurge on those red lights that keep planes from crashing into the bridge.

Richard Beaubien was ready when the tower lights on the Zakim were turned off for Earth Hour last night.
