She's been leading her assault on the world of pop music for almost a year straight, and it sounds like Lady GaGa is about to enjoy some much-deserved time off.

The "Poker Face" songstress (real name: Stefani Germanotta) has been released by her record label of all of her commitments for the month of August, giving her some downtime.

An inside source told press, "Stefani has been working relentlessly since last summer. She has criss-crossed the globe on numerous occasions promoting her album The Fame and the pressure has now started to get to her. At a recent show in Atlanta she nearly collapsed on stage the day after a particularly wild night out."

"Her management have spotted the warning signs and do not want her going off the rails. They've scrapped all her commitments in August to give her time to get her head straight."
