Did Tina Fey and Amy Poehler go too far? Golden Globes hosts poke fun at lothario Leonardo DiCaprio with crude vagina joke

- Hosts make Leonardo DiCaprio blush with embarrassment after eyebrow-raising joke
- Other jibes saw Amy play Tina's illegitimate adult son Randy and search for long-lost dad among audience
- Dig about Bradley Cooper by calling American Hustle 'Explosion At The Wig Factory'
- Made fun of Matt Damon by calling him 'a garbage man'
- Got revenge on Taylor Swift for dissing last year's hosting act

Their risque humour sees Tina Fey and Amy Poehler walk a tightrope between funny and rude. But the pair perhaps went a step too far at the Golden Globes on Sunday night when they brought The Wolf Of Wall Street winner Leonardo DiCaprio on stage with a eyebrow-raising introduction. Wearing wolfish grins, Tina and Amy said: 'And now, like a supermodel's vagina, let's all give a warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio.'

Leonardo has, of course, dated a stream of model beauties including Bar Refaeli, Gisele Bundchen and Erin Heatherton. His current squeeze is Victoria's Secret model Toni Garrn, 21. But as he made his entrance to the stage to guffaws of laughter from the audience, the actor's face showed his embarrassment. Blushing bright red, he then stumbled over his words as he tried to keep a straight face.

Reading the Best Actress in a Drama nominees from the Teleprompter, he misread Judi Dench's film Philomena as 'Philomania'. Despite his blushes Leonardo seemed amused by the joke - just one of many by the comedy duo.

At one point during the show, Leonardo was seen sitting at his table watching the show and smoking what appeared to be an electronic cigarette, looking relaxed between puffs.

There other jibes were not all as hair raising.

In one skit, Amy played dress up as Tina's son in mini-tuxedo and a hair flip while going around the audience insisting to know who 'his' father was. While co-presenting couple Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin were introducing their daughter Sosie as this year's Miss Golden Globe, Tina quickly interrupted the pair. 'In the name of gender equality, please welcome Mr Golden Globe, my adult son for a previous relationship, Randy,' she joked. Poehler came on in character as Randy, in an ill-fitting tuxedo.

'I don't want to do this. It's so stupid,' he/she said.'Kids,' Tina sighed.

Amy hit back, 'Right mom!' before standing next to movie industry mogul Harvey Weinstein and demanding, 'Is it him?!'

The usually caustic comediennes got off to a gentle start by keeping their jokes fun - and not mean-spirited.
Tina began the two-person comedy act by kindly digging into Bradley Cooper and saying, 'The original title of American Hustle was Explosion At The Wig Factory.'

The gals garnered a big laugh when they described Gravity as a film about George Clooney preferring to go to space and die, than spend the rest of his life with a ‘woman of his own age.’

Tina then compared Matthew McConaughey’s 45lb weight loss for The Dallas Buyers Club as ‘what actresses in Hollywood call preparing for a movie,’ which caused toothy Julia Roberts to break out in laughter. Amy then turned the attention to legendary director Martin Scorsese, who she revealed was nominated for the ‘tiniest man with the biggest pair of glasses.’

Amy directed attention Matt Damon's way when she quipped that the actor was 'basically a garbage person,' obviously referring to his character in Behind The Candelabra. Damon later presented an introduction to best picture nominee Captain Phillips and modestly added, 'It's me, the garbage man.' And they also hit a high note by joked about presenter Jonah Hill's racy behavior at pool parties.

Tina, in a red dress, and Amy, in a black one, eventually reappeared on stage while holding golden goblets.
'Well, well, well,' Tina said, regarding Veep star Julia Louis Dreyfus with feigned contempt. 'Look who slithered back to the TV section. Hi, Julia.'

They went on to give the next two presenters a warm welcome: 'Our next presenter knows a phony when he sees one, please welcome Jimmy Fallon and Melissa McCarthy.'

When the category for Best Actress In A Comedy came, nominee Amy was seen getting a nice massage from Bono - and then a passionate kiss from the U2 rocker when she won the award for Parks And Recreation. Tina hugged Amy and, in a dig to Taylor Swift, said: 'Congratulations, Amy Poehler. I love you and there's a special place in hell for you.'

As many will remember, Tina and Amy poked fun at the Red songstress during last year's Golden Globes telecast, and an unamused Swift responded by telling Vanity Fair: 'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.'

So many respectable, balanced,  LONG LASTING relationships in Hollywood have been between age appropriate couples.
Like Tom Hanks, Daniel Day Lewis, Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, etc,

Not embarrassing spectacles, that's for sure.
