Today’s entertainment picks:

v Drum Fest, 3-10 p.m.: An attempt to set a world record for largest bar chime will be part of this event at Firestone Park, Columbiana; 330-482-5750.

v Polish Day, 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.: Polish food, dance, music and more at St. Anne Church, 3055 S. Raccoon Road, Austintown; visit polishyoungstown.com.

v Ballyhoo music festival, noon to 10 p.m.: More than two dozen bands will play at four bars in downtown Youngstown: the Draught House, The Lemon Grove, Downtown 36 and Barley’s.

v MCW Wrestling: A seven-match card, featuring Mick Foley and “Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart, will follow the Scrappers game, which starts at 5 p.m. Eastwood Field, Niles; 330-505-0000.

v Girard Community Concert Band, 7 p.m.: Free outdoor concert at Tod Park, Lawrence Avenue, Girard; 545-4625.

“basketball wives La” (8 p.m., VH1): Will “Basketball Wives LA” be a ratings slam dunk — or a brutal brick shot? This spin-off follows a group of NBA players’ spouses, girlfriends and exes as they live the glam life in Los Angeles, home to the Lakers and Clippers.

“THE 2011 MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS” (9 p.m., MTV and VH1): We don’t recall how many Moonmen trophies Lady Gaga nabbed last year, but we sure do remember that she showed up in a freaky meat dress. We dig the VMAs more for their outrageous moments (the Britney- Madonna kiss; Kanye’s West’s dissing of Taylor Swift, etc.) than their nods to artistic achievement. The live acts aren’t bad, either, as this year’s roster of performers at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles includes Gaga, Adele, Lil Wayne, Bruno Mars and Chris Brown. On a more somber note, legendary crooner Tony Bennett is scheduled to introduce a tribute to the late Amy Winehouse.

“Leverage” (9 p.m., TNT): The summer finale finds Nate (Timothy Hutton) and the team in Dubai, where an international chess tournament is being held. But will they be pawns in Sterling’s (Mark Sheppard) plans to steal a nuclear reactor calibration weight?

“The glades” (10 p.m., A&E): Another strange case presents itself when the body of an Ernest Hemingway look-alike is found with a bullet hole in his head during an ocean cruise. Let’s hope the script is penned with a distinctive economy of words and understatement.

“Top gear” (10 p.m., history channel): Our intrepid hosts race $500 clunkers along the Pacific Coast Highway to see which ones perform the best. At least the scenery will be worth the hassle.
