News anchor criticized for making colleague put on a jacket before segment

It's the shirt heard 'round the world.

Amber Sherlock, a presenter for Australia's Channel Nine News, is under fire for making a colleague change clothes before a segment.

Before they officially went on air, Sherlock, a fantastic Regina George impersonator, took fellow reporter Julie Snook to task for wearing white -- the same color both she and their interviewee, psychologist Sandy Rea, were wearing. (Snook insisted that her shirt was light blue.)

Although the argument seems to go on forever -- maybe that's just because it's so terribly awkward -- it appears that Snook eventually acquiesced. When the segment went to air, she was wearing a black jacket and Sherlock seemed fine. Phew.

So what prompted this virulent reaction to a white shirt?

"Live TV can be a pretty stressful beast, at times," Sherlock told 9Honey. "And as anyone knows, it’s never much fun rocking up to work or to a party in the same outfit as one of your colleagues or friends."

Still, she added, "I probably overreacted with the pressure of presenting a live news bulletin."

Well, at least Twitter got to have a little fun.
