Cher’s latest memoir offers a revealing look into her life, including wild celebrity encounters and a raw, often challenging journey through fame, love, and industry hardships. Known for her resilience and independence, Cher shares anecdotes that provide fans with an intimate view of her life as a Hollywood legend navigating unforgettable events.

In Cher: The Memoir, the pop icon recounts an incident from 1974, when she encountered John Lennon and his friend Harry Nilsson in a Los Angeles restaurant. Spontaneously, she invited them to the Playboy Mansion, only to discover that the duo had been drinking heavily. As the night unfolded, Lennon and Nilsson began calling out to Hugh Hefner in exaggerated accents and causing a stir. Trying to keep them out of trouble, Cher led them to the mansion’s grotto, which she describes as a cave-like hideaway that connects to the pool.


Upon returning with drinks, Cher was surprised to find Lennon and Nilsson standing naked in the water, laughing and seemingly unbothered by their lack of clothing. She humorously recalls the challenge of getting them back into their clothes, likening it to “herding drunks.” The incident, while lighthearted in hindsight, highlights the unpredictability of celebrity interactions in the lavish setting of the Playboy Mansion. Cher reveals that her daughter Chastity, now Chaz Bono, often visited Hefner’s mansion as a child and even received a life-sized lion statue as a gift from Hefner.
