Chelsea Handler is certainly no stranger to speaking her mind.

And the Chelsea Lately host did just that while chatting Monday with Piers Morgan on his CNN talk show.

It seems the E! star, who was on promoting her new book Uganda Be Kidding Me, was not exactly happy with Morgan's decision to tweet during a commercial break, and she didn't hesitate to tell him so.

"I mean, you can't even pay attention for 60 seconds," Handler said. "You're a terrible interviewer."

"Well, you just weren't keeping my attention," Morgan replied. "It's more of an issue for you than for me."

"This is your show," Handler snapped. "You have to pay attention to the guests that you invited on your show. Listen, it doesn't matter how interesting I am. You signed up for this show."

She then added this zinger, "Maybe that's why your job is coming to an end."

Of course, Handler was referring to the fact that CNN announced last month that it is canceling Morgan's primetime show, with the exact date of the final program still to be determined.

Meanwhile, things were definitely a lot lighter when Handler hung out with pal Gwyneth Paltrow on Tuesday evening at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, Calif.

The longtime friends laughed and enjoyed each other's company as Paltrow talked to Handler about her new book during a 90-minute on-stage interview for Live Talks Los Angeles.
