'Don't take it so seriously': Jeremy Renner hits back after crude joke about Jennifer Lopez's 'golden globes' is blasted by Twitter users
Newly single Jeremy Renner found himself at the centre of a Twitter storm when he made a joke about Jennifer Lopez's breasts while co-presenting at the Golden Globes on Sunday.
The pair were presenting the award for Best Actor in a Television Mini-Series or Movie when Jennifer volunteered to open the envelope and reveal the winner. 'You want me to do it? I have the nails?' Jennifer asked. 'You have the globes, too,' Jeremy quipped before they presented the award to Billy Bob Thornton for his work in Fargo.
He was ridiculed on Twitter, with comments ranging from 'Best Supporting Creep' to 'Boob-seeking robot' but Jeremy, 44, was quick to defend himself.

Posting a smiling picture of himself and Jennifer on-stage at the Beverly Hilton together, he tweeted: 'A reminder not to take this s**t so serious. Thanks Jennifer -- You're a gem.x.'
45-year-old singer and actress Jennifer wore a stunning Zuhair Murad gown with a plunging neckline to the awards ceremony, and Jeremy was evidently so distracted, he went off-script to make the comment.
While Jennifer laughed it off like a pro on stage, Jeremy was roundly criticised.
Anne T. Donahue wrote: 'Jeremy Renner rushes back to his table. "You guys hear that? That globes joke I made? Not too bad, right? Guys?" No one makes eye contact.'

And Sarah Schaefer added: 'Jeremy Renner wins best supporting creep #GoldenGlobes.'
Jennifer defended Jeremy afterwards, telling E! News: 'That was really funny. He’s a very funny man. It even made me a little hot.'
While Jeremy's remark was roundly slammed, Jennifer looked sensational at the bash in her pale couture dress which also included a high thigh slit.

The sultry outfit by Lebanese designer Murad also featured a small train.
'I love him, he's one of my favourite designers,' Jennifer told Ryan Seacrest during E! live show from the red carpet.
Jennifer revealed that she was saving the dress for the right occasion.

'I had it for the AMAs, but I thought it's more of a Golden Globes dress,' Jennifer said referencing the American Music Awards held in November in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, it's been a dramatic few weeks for Jeremy Renner with the news that his whirlwind marriage to Sonni Pacheco, the mother of his baby daughter, has collapsed.
Model Sonni filed for divorce claiming 'fraud' and there are reports he is worried the Canadian will flee the US with their child.
