(CNN) -

Lady Gaga has some exciting news for fans this holiday season.

The pop star took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce her upcoming documentary and album: "Merry Christmas little monsters! Terry Richardson @Terry_World is making a #LadyGagaMOVIE documenting my life, the creation of ARTPOP + you!"

Gaga didn't include release dates for either project, but she did thank her followers for their patience regarding her fourth studio album, "ARTPOP," which is expected to bow in 2013.
