Lady Gaga Interview Overload: Singer to Quit Talks With Press After Oprah Special

As part of her rapid rise to superstardom, Lady Gaga has always chatted with media outlets, divulging secrets from her past and speaking candidly to the press about her personal life. But now, 'The Fame Monster' has had it with the 'Paparazzi,' announcing plans to go into self-imposed exile following the airing of her special TV interview on 'Oprah's Next Chapter.' Apparently, theoverexposed star is desperate to regain some privacy!

In a preview of her chat with Oprah -- which takes place in Gaga's childhood home and includes mother Cynthia Germanotta -- Mother Monster insists her Little Monsters wont be seeing or hearing much from her when it comes to interviews.

"Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time," the singer told the media mogul. "No press, no television, if my mom calls and says, 'Did you hear about ...' I shut it all off ... I don't read a damn thing."

The announcement is surprising when you consider Gaga's track record with the press. She's openly shared her past struggles with bullying, bulimia, drugs, bad boyfriends and her sex life with the public. The one aspect of her personal life she remains tight-lipped about is her current romantic relationship with actor Taylor Kinney, and perhaps it's that romance that she hopes to protect by stepping out of the public eye.

But Gaga's indefinite break from speaking with media outlets doesn't mean the pop star will disappear from the scene completely. The performer is set to kick off her Born This Way Ball world tour in South Korea on April 27. 'Oprah's Next Chapter: Lady Gaga' premieres March 18 at 9PM EST on OWN.
