Matthew Dellavedova -- Props from Australian Ambassador

Z STAFF


EXCLUSIVE

0610-matthew-cavs-australia-getty-01He is playing OUT OF HIS MIND … and now Cleveland Cavaliers star Matthew Dellavedova is getting props from the Australian ambassador’s office. 


TMZ Sports spoke to a spokesperson for Kim Beazley, the Aussie ambassador to the U.S., who tells us the entire country is pumped up and proud of the Australian-born star. 


“The ambassador is very engaged in this series,” the rep tells us … “He’s watching it very closely. We all are. We’re so excited.”


We’re told the entire office feels Matt’s performance has been incredibly inspiring — “He shows people you don’t have to be 6’8″ to be a great player.”


But the office isn’t “All In” for the Cavs … because there’s another huge Aussie star playing on the Warriors, Andrew Bogut.


“The reality is we have two Australians playing on the biggest stage, with the best players, and Australia is very proud of that. This is great for our country.”

Meek Mill -- Pistol-Whipping Goes Down On Rival Rapper's Crew (VIDEO)

Z STAFF


Exclusive Video


Meek Mill‘s beef with a rival exploded into a pistol-whipping melee on the streets of Philly … with people fleeing for their lives — and the violence is crystal clear in this video. 


Meek and his crew were shooting a music video Tuesday evening … when Louie V Gutta and his homies showed up. Watch the video — there’s a little bit of jawing, a little bit of pushing, tensions rising, and then … chaos.


A guy standing behind Louie V got CRACKED in the face with what looks like the butt of a handgun — and then everyone scatters … fearing a shootout was about to go down. 


No shots were fired, but police were called to the scene. No one got arrested.


Right after the incident, Louie V claimed he wasn’t involved but admitted he was there talking to Meek.

EXCLUSIVE

0610-chickadee-mamajune-instagram-tmzMama June‘s daughter and granddaughter are suing her, claiming she screwed them out of hundreds of thousands of dollars from their series, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.”


Anna Cardwell and her 2-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn, claim Mama June pocketed money that was earmarked for them. Anna says she’s owed around $ 200k and Kaitlyn is owed $ 100k.


The mother/daughter plaintiffs say Mama June kept their share of the $ 22,500 per episode. They also say Mama June didn’t fork over royalties for their cookbook and other promotional things.


Anna and Kaitlyn have also dragged TLC into the lawsuit, claiming the network had a duty to protect them … ensuring they’d get what was owed to them. 


TLC has always said it helped set up accounts to ensure everyone got what was owed to them.

Minnie Driver -- Yeah, I Screwed Up Nat'l Anthem ... But I Was Still Pretty Good!

Z STAFF


EXCLUSIVE


Minnie Driver‘s lyrical screwup during the “Star Spangled Banner” at the Dodgers game has clearly not affected her confidence … telling us, “I did very well. I got a word wrong.”


(For the record, she got TWO words wrong, but close enough)



Minnie says she was “very bummed” about the mistake … and chalked the whole thing up to nerves. 


Still, Driver says it could have been worse — saying it was more important for her to stay in tune then to have gotten all of the lyrics right.  


She may have a point  … right Carl Lewis?
