Nothing really solidifies a friendship quite like a dorky offbeat rap performed by one of your closest buds, which is what Angie learned during Saturday's episode of "MADE." After revealing to her tight-knit group of friends that she was trading in her bowling shoes for a pair of stilettos on a mission to become a beauty queen, they showered her with support that eventually included whipping together a cheeky rhyme about her impressive transformation.

Check out this bonus scene, where Angie's buds entertain her with a medley about becoming a pageant girl. We caught a glimpse of the "Mangie" dedication during the episode, but this is the full version, in all of its glory, complete with mentions of drooling, MC Hammer and even Yahtzee. Enjoy.

If you caught any episodes of "MTV's Ultimate Parkour Challenge," then you know what an extremely dangerous sport it can be. Hard-core athletes take to the streets to vault over things most people have no business even being near, and for one country kid, being part of the pro action is but a dream.

Check out a sneak peek of Saturday's all-new episode of "MADE," where we'll meet Josh, an athletic hopeful with the goal of becoming a big city athlete. He's mastered the moves in his hometown, but to really make it he'll need to train elsewhere. MTV hooked him up with a coach to teach him the techniques necessary to go up against the heavy hitters--be sure to tune in Dec. 10 at 3/2c to see how he handles the pressure.

If you caught Saturday's all-new episodes of "MADE," then you remember meeting Angie, the tomboyish Missouri girl whose friends lovingly referred to as "Mangie." Tired of being compartmentalized as clumsy and unfeminine, she enlisted the help of a pro to change her image. Her goal was to become a pageant queen, and early in her training she quickly learned that being a glam gal took much more than rocking a killer pair of heels; it was about projecting a genuine and transparent personality as well.

+ Angie's powerful platform of dealing with the loss of a loved one coupled with her funny performance earned her a first place finish in the pageant, but did she truly transform into the young lady she wanted to be? Take the poll and let us know if you still think she has a ways to go, or if she was, in fact, "MADE."

Over the past eight years, MTV's "MADE" has changed the lives of over hundreds of teens, and Monday, Sept. 27 (4/3c), will mark the series' 200th go at it. (Does that number make you feel old, too?) The real kicker is that Andrew Wonder--one young guy from Season 1 who desperately wanted to be made into a TV producer--shot and directed this special anniversary episode. His ultimate mission? To take new kid Tommy under his wing and turn him into a movie director.

Meet both Andrew and his mentee in the 200th episode trailer, plus check out MTV.com's exclusive follow-ups with some of the amazing people who've been MADE by MTV. The experience truly helped shape their destiny and pushed them to be stronger people. Take a look:

Wanna get "MADE" into a rock star? Just Kait singer Kaitlyn DiBenedetto knows a little something about that. Born and bred in New Jersey (a.k.a. The State That Springsteen Put On The Map), Kaitlyn borrowed her dad's drumset at age five, picked up her first guitar as a pre-teen and started slappin' da bass ("I Love You, Man," anyone?) before the rest of us had even passed Drivers Ed. By sweet sixteen, her punk pedigree also grew to include songwriting, and she scored her first big break when her song, "U Suck," was chosen as the new (and appropriately named) theme song to MTV's dating disaster series, "Parental Control".

So what makes this girl different from all other aspiring Avrils? That'd be her edge. After you get past Kaitlyn's wholesome, girl-next-door looks (think Amanda Bynes), you'll notice she's actually rockin' some razor-sharp vocals (think Joan Jett). Her femme, Fall Out Boy-style single, "Heart Shaped Bruise" is more Pixies punk than Selena sweet, and her steamy cover of "Hot Stuff" is enough to make Miley Cyrus and the Disney Dream Team blush.

Now at the ripe old age of eighteen, Kaitlyn's already released her first EP, Being On TV (Again), seen her new single, "Sick," tearin' it up on E! and landed a killer track ("Girls World") in "MADE, The Movie" (slow down, girl!). Download her pump-you-up pop anthem for free at MTV.com, plus peep Just Kait's upcoming VMA tour dates, watch the music videos for "Sick" and "U Suck," and then check out the rest of the "MADE, The Movie" soundtrack, below!

In an attempt to debunk some myths about periods, Kim Stolz and her friends have been traveling throughout the country to talk with some popular MTV casties about their cycles. Their first stop was New York City, where the girls gabbed with "My Life As Liz" star Liz Lee. Later they headed down South to ask the "Real World: New Orleans" ladies whether they were comfortable chatting about their monthly woes with their guy roomies. Now, Kim's at a cheerleading camp speaking with a group of young athletes.

Check out the video below to hear from the spirited teammates about how their period has become much less of a big deal since when they first got it. We sure hope these girls are watching tonight's "MADE: The Movie," a story about an unpopular band geek that wants to land a spot on the school's cheerleading team -- maybe they're looking for a new recruit?

In the same way that "MADE" chronicles the plight of young people who dream of breaking out of character and pursuing a life goal, this long-running MTV show has managed to grow a set of wings and evolve into something even broader -- a movie. Tonight's latest iteration of the series, "Made: The Movie," is a story about a wide-eyed band geek named Tuba who has a burning desire to become a toe-touching, popular cheerleader. Check out the trailer below, then tune in at 10/9c to find out whether or not she gets a chance to trade in her marching band uniform for a pair of spandex hot pants and fluffy pom-poms.

As anyone who's seen Miss Congeniality knows, Miss United States isn't a beauty pageant ... it's a scholarship fund. And for these five women, walking away with the crown (and a hefty chunk of pocket change!) was just the beginning. In honor of today's MADE, read up on a few high profile ladies who used their pageant success to jump-start their careers!

If you followed the 2008 presidential elections, you might remember that Sarah Palin's got some old pageant gowns gathering dust in her closet. The former Miss Wasilla placed third in the Miss Alaska pageant in 1984, then went on to become Governor of Alaska (and VP nominee, don'tcha know)!
