"Real Housewives of New York City" reality star, "Naturally Thin" author, and real-life chef, Bethenny Frankel, had some critical reviews for Oscar-winning Gwyneth Paltrow's recent roasted chicken how-to video she posted to her Web site, GOOP.

According to Access Hollywood, Frankel had some strong words about the "Shakespeare in Love" star's try at her own cooking special.

"I'd rather staple my eyelids shut than watch Gwyneth cook," Frankel candidly told the New York Daily News' Gatecrasher at the launch of her bottled Skinnygirl Margaritas at the Montauk Yacht Club in New York.

"Gwyneth is afraid to [reveal] who she really is -- she's so manhandled by publicists and managers," she went on. "Her show would be way too boring to watch."

The 38-year old reality star has reportedly been approached to star in her own cooking show.
