She didn't have to say that, it came across as catty, and she is like that. It's not the first time I've heard her say she likes somebody, but......
She has a job in entertainment, why does she seem to begrudge the fact that someone else is trying to carve out a similar career. So he has ambition and wants to work in TV, he has been very honest about what he wants to do. Preferably dance music but if he can't make it with that he'd like to do TV work, and good for him to persue that dream. I wouldn't have the guts to put myself out there as he has, but I respect someone with the ambition and determination to keep trying.
Good luck to him, he's a nice guy.
