1. “Up until the day he died, he was a brilliant writer. But the drugs made him a thief, a pimp and a liar,” said friend Karen Smith, who was with Johnson at the time of his death.
I think this one is a little tricky. If the friend saw a first hand account of how Johnson changed while on drugs, it could very well be the statement is true for what she saw. The statement would need to be corroborated by police reports or something before being run. The context of the rest of the story is important for this one.
2. “Megan Fox is a man!” Headline on Weekly World News Web site
Yes, this is libelous as it is untrue.
3. “In my opinion, Kevin is a murdering rapist.”
This is libelous, because having the in my opinion isn't enough to overcome that this statement is made as if fact.
