Default Porn star uses friends name - libel or not?

An argument I had with my roommates.

Here's the situation:

A porn star is being charged with a possible libel suit. Her old 9th grade classmate claims that the porn actress stole her name, and it has caused her invasion of privacy issues and emotional distress.

The name, for reference, is Syvette Wimberly

Link to the story here: http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article...p;in_page_id=2

Edit: better link here:

Now, suppose this case goes to court.

Question 1: Should the porn actress be found guilty of libel against the classmate?

Question 2: Suppose the classmate further adds that the porn actress disliked and teased the classmate in the past, and believes this is an attempt to damage her name. The porn star and old classmate have not spoken since the 9th grade. The porn star denies this being true. Is this libel now?

Question 3: It turns out the porn star used the friend's middle name + last name, not her actual first name and last name. Do you consider this libel now? (answer in thread if I can't edit the poll)

Please vote.
