  • Jay Z and Beyoncé Outbid For Most Expensive L.A. Mansion Ever By Minecraft Founder Markus Persson

  • Tiësto Releases Beyoncé 'Drunk in Love' Remix as Free Download [LISTEN]

    Tiësto is a master at social media, so it is no surprise to see him reach 19 million fans on Facebook. To celebrate the achievement, Tijs Verwest — better known as Tiësto — has given out his remix of Beyoncé's smash single "Drunk in Love" as a free download. The "Red Lights" disc jockey gives the single a festival-sized melodic treatment, with big airy synths and a thumping bass line to compliment the cries from the "Flawless" singer.

It was nice that Frankie was excited about the win, but tone it down a bit. Your sister can handle this by herself. Check out the awkward moment below and head to the 2:25 mark to see the Queen of Soul's reaction.
