I was at a concert in Saratoga, CA on July 3rd 2006, and Fiona explained this song (along with a funny story)...
She was dating a guy at the time (one would assume Paul Thomas Anderson), who then cheated on her with a very pretty, very famous "starlet". Fiona was, of course, massively upset... and at the time, this girl was starring in a movie so her picture was everywhere, magazine covers, TV screens, everywhere.
So Fiona was going to buy a box radio with her brother, just for some reason or another... but on her way to the store, everywhere she turned was this girl. Newsstands, billboards, everywhere Fiona turned the girl was there. Fiona was getting more and more upset, to the point where she just couldn't stop sobbing. When she finally reached the store, she was feeling better; but this electronics store was one which had walls taken up entirely by dozens of TV's. And at the exact moment Fiona walked in, every single TV in the store was showing the face of the girl.
Fiona looked at her brother, and for just a small, tiny, one second window, they were able to laugh... just for a second. Until, well... yeah.
After the story, right before Fiona began to play the song, she said, "And being the inspiration for this song may be the only decent thing this girl has ever done."
