She chose to make the announcement of her hiatus to Oprah Winfrey, in an "Oprah's Next Chapter" interview to air in the US tomorrow. The interview also features the singer's mother, Cynthia Germanotta.

"Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time," explains Gaga. "No press, no television."

The eccentric singer added that she has already stopped paying attention to what is written about her.

"Even if my mum calls and says, 'Did you hear about ...' I shut it all off," she said. "I don't read a damn thing."

Ever since the singer, whose given name is Stefani Germanotta, appeared on the scene with Let's Dance in 2009, it seemed the public could not get enough of her dramatic costumes and outspoken interviews.

However, she has slipped from the center of the radar screen in recent months, even as Born This Way was nominated for three Grammys.

Her mother admits in the interview she and her husband didn't know what to make of their daughter's act at first.

Her mother says: "When Gaga started performing - I think it was at Joe's Pub downtown - she was in a bikini performing with Lady Starlight. She decided that night to actually light hairspray on fire. A lot of people left, and a lot of people stayed and thought it was cool. Her father said, honestly, 'I think she has a screw loose.'"
