Wayne's world

If it suddenly feels like rapper Lil Wayne is ubiquitous, it's because he is. The diminutive, dreadlocked dynamo is popping up like bagels in a deli. The man also known as Weezy has been seen trying to keep his pants up while rapping in a number of high-profile locales of late, including the MTV Video Music Awards, "Saturday Night Live," and last week's BET Hip-Hop Awards, where he walked away with lyricist of the year honors.

This week the New Orleans-born rapper announced the birth of his second child, son Dwayne Carter III, and the rebirth of his most recent album, 2008's bestseller "Tha Carter III."

In advance of his appearance at the TD Banknorth Garden on Monday as part of the sold-out Monster Jam concert - also featuring Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, Brandy, and Yung Berg - we thought we'd offer Wayne some advice on extending his brand. We don't want a percentage - just give us a shout-out on "Tha Carter IV." SARAH RODMAN

CLOTHING LINE:In honor of the birth of his Lil'er Wayne, perhaps he could launch Lil Wayne's Lil Clothes for Lil Kids featuring baggy onesies, miniature gold medallions, baby bandanas, and teeny-tiny grills.

MOVIE: The whole semi-autobiographical look at a rapper's hardscrabble youth has been done - see: Eminem in "8 Mile" or 50 Cent in "Get Rich or Die Tryin' " - so maybe Weezy should try his hand at the lucrative, mismatched-buddy comedy genre. We're picturing Ben Stiller as a tightly wound suburban CPA who hires a "famous" rapper to play his daughter's bat mitzvah. A case of mistaken identity sends the pair on the run and hip-hop hilarity ensues in this Judd Apatow-produced laffer featuring cameos by Jay-Z as a superfly rabbi and T-Pain as the wacky uncle who supplies them with gadgets to help disguise their voices.

REALITY SHOW: "Who Wants to be 'A Milli'-naire?" Each week contestants compete for a lil' of Lil Wayne's cash money by quickly devising battle raps using offbeat phrases supplied by Wayne. Don't miss the contestant who manages to rhyme Bernanke, pomegranate, and "Sanford and Son."

BEVERAGE: "Lolli-Pop." This carbonated, caffeinated energy drink looks and tastes like sweet, sweet candy but also helps with that nagging tickle at the back of your throat thanks to a touch of Wayne's own favorite beverage: cough syrup with codeine. (Note: Do not operate heavy machinery after drinking "Lolli-Pop.")

FASHION ACCESSORIES: Do you love Lil Wayne's look but feel uncomfortable committing to a permanent teardrop tattoo, or don't have the patience to grow real dreadlocks? Don't worry. With "Weezy's Wash-and-Wear Tatts and Hair" you can be crying and rocking 'locks by night in the club and all dried out and freshly shorn by morning.
