Facts for heartless dame on the flip side? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

details

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'facts' is the definition.
(detail is a kind of fact)

'heartless dame on the flip side?' is the wordplay.
'heartless' suggests removing the centre.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the flip side?' becomes 'tails' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dame' with its centre taken out is 'de'.
'de'+'tails'='DETAILS'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
