I agree with the 'showbiz' theory to the song. Basically the 'you' in this song is a celebrity in the prime of their career. Imagine a britney spears (barf) or maybe a Jim Carrey. Just think of when those two were really hot and always in the limelight.
"you're a star" you made it and you don't know exactly how or why, but 'you' are questioning the entire idea of fame. 'you' don't like it anymore.
So Bono is like this, guardian angel/devil on you're shoulder talking to 'you' trying to make you keep buying into this celebrity life.
