I checked the source and it just seems to grab the div and set the style to hidden. It's not perfect, because when I open Facebook sometimes Trends are visible for a second, but it's much better than glancing at the section and being drawn into clicking on whatever celebrity news or other headline-of-the-moment is trending.
It's kinda insidious--I don't watch TV or read celebrity gossip sites, but when the Trend says some Kardashian posted a selfie that people are talking about, I'm tempted to click and see the photo just to see what the discussion is about.
