ROD STEWART's wild child son SEAN STEWART once beat himself up for drugs. The reforming hellraiser admits he was so hooked on painkillers he went to extremes to get a ready supply of pills. Now attempting to clean up his act on U.S. reality show Celebrity Rehab, Stewart has revealed just how desperate his habit became before he sought help.

He says, "This is really embarrassing; I beat myself up to go to the hospital so I could get Vicodin. "I just started punching myself and hitting my face against the wall."

Meanwhile the case against Rod Stewart's son over a brawl at a Hollywood nightclub has been resolved The AP is reporting that Seal Bral, an attorney for the man who sued Sean Stewart in 2007, says the parties reached a settlement after undergoing private mediation. A Los Angeles court dismissed the case on Tuesday.

Daniel Refoua sued Stewart over a fight at a nightclub in 2006 he says left him with a broken nose and other injuries. The case had been scheduled to go to trial in January, although Stewart's attorneys had been seeking a dismissal. An attorney for Stewart did not return a phone message Thursday.

Stewart appeared in the A&E show "Sons of Hollywood" and is also one of the patients featured on this season's "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" on VH1.

Sheer madness. Need we say more about what drugs can do to you?

MICK JAGGER'S EX BIANCA EVICTED FROM NEW YORK APARTMENT!!

SIR MICK JAGGER's ex-wife BIANCA has been evicted from her New York apartment after court officials ruled she could not list the pad as her "primary residence" while living in the city on a tourist visa. The state Court of Appeals upheld a ruling on former model/actress Bianca Jagger's eviction from her $4,600 (£2,944) a-month Park Avenue apartment on Thursday (23Oct08). Nicaraguan-born Jagger - who also has a home in London - is in New York on a B2 visa, requiring a "principal, actual dwelling place" outside the United States.

Court officials state: "Under the Rent Stabilization Code, a landlord may recover possession of a rent stabilised apartment from a tenant whose lease has expired if the apartment is not occupied by the tenant... as his or her primary residence." But Jagger insists she's only being evicted because she sued her landlord after complaining of water leaks and mould. She reportedly continued to pay her rent into an escrow account despite deeming the apartment unlivable during the three years prior to her eviction.

A judge will decide whether she or landlord Katz Park Avenue is entitled to the money. Jagger tells the New York Post: "I was a good tenant. I was paying my rent. What I expected in return was a habitable apartment, not one that would endanger my health. "What people need to think about when they look at my case is, 'Are tenants being protected by the law, or are landlords allowed to use the courts to get rid of tenants who have reasons to be concerned?'"
