Agree with Kevin - libel is libel, regardless of what form it is communicated in.
But truth is always an absolute defense to libel. If Ms. Bonnen can show that her apartment was indeed moldy and the landlord did nothing about it, then she'll be fine (though unfortunate she has to go through the litigation, which stinks for her).
Similarly, if Courtney Love can show that the designer indeed has a history of dealing coke, she'd be fine.
Though I'm more apt to believe that Ms. Bonnen was being truthful as opposed to Courtney Love.
