All of the categories for the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards are competitive, but none more so than the eclectic group vying for Sunday night's biggest prize: Video of the Year.
The 2011 nominees for Video of the Year are: Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," Beastie Boys' "Make Some Noise," Bruno Mars' "Grenade," Katy Perry's "Firework" and Tyler the Creator's "Yonkers." MTV News recently asked some celebrities for their predictions on who will take home the night's most-important Moonman.
"I'm a huge Bruno Mars fan, so maybe I'd give the slight edge there," "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner said diplomatically.
"I'm going to go with Bruno Mars," said Christopher Mintz-Plasse. "That song is really insanely catchy."
And "Harry Potter" star Tom Felton also revealed,...

Lucy Hale has some fun bowling with boys. On Thursday night, May 12, the Aria Montgomery of "Pretty Little Liars" was spotted enjoying a night out with the forthcoming "Teen Wolf" star Colton Haynes, Honor Society's frontman Michael Bruno and some other guy pals at Pinz Bowling Center in Studio City, California.
Looking lovely, Lucy donned a vintage looking Rolling Stone tee. She paired the shirt with white short pants, and brought a shocking yellow shoulder bag. During the outing, the 21-year-old was "ridiculed" by Michael, who went to Twitter to write, "Watching @lucyyhale practice her bowling form. She.is.focused."
Firing back at the underestimating tweet, Lucy wrote in reply, "@RiskyBusinessMB in order to be a winner in the bowling world you must stretch, rehearse, mentally prepare... ." She was also spotted being joined by Japanese descent TV star Ally Maki and young author Chase Jordan during the Thursday night hangout.

According to Deadline, Sony Television, which partially owns surviving soaps 'The Young and the Restless' and 'Days of our Lives,' wants its soaps to snatch up available talent from 'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live,' which have recently -- and tragically -- been canceled by ABC.
While that's likely to happen to some degree ('AMC' and 'Oltl' picked up actors from 'Guiding Light' and 'As the World Turns' after they were canceled a while back), shows need to be careful who they go after.
Veteran daytime talent manager Michael Bruno, who reps actors including Amelia Heinle and Stephen Nichols on 'Y&R' and Lauren Koslow on 'Days,' notes that there's a right and a wrong way to go about maximizing the genre's available talent. Read his comments after the jump.

Combined, 'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live' cover more than 80 years of television and boast legions of fans, but that didn't stop ABC from announcing yesterday that the two Agnes Nixon-created soap operas will be leaving the airwaves. 'AMC' will exit in September, and 'Oltl' will air its final episode next January.
It's impossible to imagine daytime TV without Erica, Tad, Viki, Dorian and Bo, but that's exactly what we're going to have to get used to.
Why are these beloved programs leaving us? AOL TV spoke to daytime talent manager Michael Bruno, known for his Simon Cowell-esque comments as a judge on the defunct SOAPnet reality series 'I Wanna Be a Soap Star,' for some insight.
Bruno, who put stars Rebecca Budig and Bobbie Eakes on 'AMC' and currently represents Ricky Paull Goldin ('AMC') and Austin Peck ('Oltl), speaks candidly...
