Regardless though, it is still recommended that you eat fruits and vegetables regularly.       A surprise second half of Taylor Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department" album is out now. Shortly after 2am Eastern, Swift announced that it was actually a "secret double album," and released 15 more songs that she called "the second installment." Swift says the double album is "an anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time."       The NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs begin this weekend.
