Here are your Top Trenders for Friday!

Number 5: Snowmobiler Caleb Moore dies, a week after a crash that has raised new safety concerns about the X-Games.

Moore was 25-years-old and died after crashing his snowmobile during the X-Games last week.

He was in critical condition after the accident and went through several surgeries but doctors couldn't save his life.

Number 4: A Texas prosecutor is dead after being gunned down outside of a courthouse.

Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse was shot multiple times as he was ambushed by two suspects on his way into court.

After the shooting the suspects fled in what appeared to be a light colored older model Ford Taurus.

Several agencies including the Texas Rangers, FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety are investigating the murder.

Number 3: For the first time in a long time, Hillary Clinton will be sleeping in on a Saturday.

Today is the secretary of state's final day on the job.

The former first lady, senator, and presidential candidate logged almost a million miles in the air since joining the state department four years ago.

This week Secretary Clinton told CNN she's looking forward to getting some rest.

She's handing over her office to former Massachusetts Senator John Kerry.

Number 2: Another wildcard could make for an even more interesting senate race in New Jersey.

Fox News host Geraldo Rivera says he's "truly contemplating" running for the U.S. Senate in 2014.

On his radio program, Thursday, Rivera said he has been in touch with people in the Republican party in New Jersey.

He even asked for the support of Fox Business Network host Judge Andrew Napolitano, who was also on the radio program.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker has already announced he plans to run for the seat.

That could set up a potential match-up on the democratic side with the incumbent, longtime Senator Frank Lautenberg.

Number 1: We're getting our first sneak peek at what we can expect to see during the Super Bowl half-time show!

Beyonce released a short video, showing dance rehearsals for the big performance.

However, the singer is staying mum on if Jay-Z or her former Destiny's Child band mates will join her on stage.

She did say, though, that she will be singing live Sunday.
