   Cher has claimed John Lennon once stripped off his clothes during a   
   drunken night at the Playboy Mansion in 1974.   
      
   In her new autobiography, "Cher: The Memoir, Part One," the "Believe"   
   hitmaker recalled having dinner at a restaurant in Los Angeles with the   
   Beatle and his friend, singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson, and asking the   
   pair if they wanted to visit Hugh Hefner's famed mansion for its Sunday   
   movie night.   
      
   According to Cher, Lennon was "dying" to see the property so she drove   
   them to the mansion, at which point she realised her companions were   
   "drunker than I'd thought".   
      
   The 78-year-old, a regular guest at the Playboy Mansion, led Lennon and   
   Nilsson to the swimming pool's Grotto - where they stripped naked.   
      
   "Giggling and falling over each other, John and Harry followed me out   
   into the grounds. Sitting them down inside the infamous Grotto - it was   
   like a huge cave that one end of the swimming pool went into - I went to   
   find a drink and when I came back they were standing in the middle of   
   the Grotto naked but still in the water, thank God," she wrote in the   
   book, which has been serialised by the Daily Mail.   
      
   When the pop legend told the pair they were not a "pretty" sight, they   
   threatened to leave the water.   
      
   "I was trying not to laugh, but it was impossible not to as they   
   threatened to wander around the mansion naked. It took me ages to get   
   them back in their clothes. It was like herding drunks," Cher continued.   
      
   She noted that while the mansion was "notorious for drunken orgies", the   
   Sunday movie nights were more relaxed events featuring cocktails, dinner   
   and the latest films.   
      
   Cher: The Memoir, Part One will be released on 19 November.
