Singer Robbie Williams has revealed that he took heroin in 1997 during a marathon drugs binge because he ran out of cocaine.
	The 39-year-old father of one said heroin made him throw up, because it did not suit him, reported Daily Star.
	Asked if he had taken heroin, Williams said, "Yeah. Only cos we ran out of coke. It was like: 'Yeah all right then, I'll have a go.' It was horrible, it made me throw up. That particular opiate didn't suit me that day. Thank God."
	 Williams quit his drinking habit 13 years ago, but he has since been to rehab for the legal pill habits.
	He is now leading a clear life after the birth of his daughter Theodora Rose in September 2012.

	"I assume that if someone is interested in me they will come up and talk to me - and if they want to call me up afterwards, then they will," she said.
	The 23-year-old, whose last serious relationship was with One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles, is trying not to focus on finding love and hopes she meets her 'Mr Right' naturally.

Producers behind the highly-anticipated 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' adaptation are hoping to release two versions of the film to satisfy fans' demands for a more explicit version of the movie.
	Hollywood bosses are planning to include the erotic scenes from the bestselling novel by EL James, but many will be too saucy for the planned R rating in America, which allows viewers under the age of 17 to see the film if accompanied by an adult.
	However, producer Dana Brunetti hopes to release a racier version which will have a strict over-18s only policy.
	"What we're kind of hearing is that they (the fans) want it dirty, they want it as close to the book as possible. We could release the R-rated version, which everyone will enjoy, and then for those fans who want to get a little gritty we could release an Nc-17 (over-18s only rating) version a few weeks later.
	"That is my idea, but the fans and the studio will benefit from the double dip. We do not want this film to be seen as mommy porn, we ..
