In a polite, non-confrontational way, I would approach your boss and ask her whether she has any issues with your performance. If she concurs, then in the same polite way, ask her what you can do to improve your performance.
Thank her and see if doing the suggestions improves the relationship...if she was talking about you, confronting her may stop the gossip.

Take it from someone who's been there before, start looking for another job and pronto. This is a no win situation for you, working for an insecure person like that. I always find it best to maintain a purely professional relationship with my bosses. Once you start becoming friends with them, you put yourself in a vulnerable position. I think that if you confront her, she is most likely going to deny it and there's going to be a lot of tension and passive aggression in the work environment. If you can ignore it and not let it bother you, then you are a mature and well adjusted person. I tried ignoring it when I was in your position, but it only got worse and the confrontation made her even more acerbic towards me. I looked for another job and was much happier after that. Best of luck.

Ok.
Being a boss, What i would like a person to do that has a problem with a RUMOR that is heard.
I would like to be confronted. There is always two sides to a situation, other people not involved with the situation, Just make a worst.
I say talk to the boss. If that boss is not mature enough to be profressional about it, then go to his/her boss.
Good luck!!

I agree with the sugguestion above...
Confront the rumor, but do it causously... Approach your boss carefully and calmly. Tell your boss that you had hear rumors and tell her that you owe it to her to ask whether they are true or not. Therefore, you are not attacking her, just clarifing the situation. Otherwise, the rumors could continue and grow in severity. Good luck

My mom once had this problem with a fellow employee. She was jealous that my mom was a new employee and yet was paid more because she had more previous expeirience. Mom ignored her gossip for about a year before this girl would stop, but then this girl trusted her so much she had mom help her find her lost brothers and sisters, so everything worked out because mom kept her temper.

Let it go, and start looking for another job. "Life is too short to work for someone who doesn't like you." That last sentence is a quote from someone I met several years ago, and it has turned out to be one of the best pieces of advice I've ever been given, and I will always be grateful to her for saying it.

You might tell her that you are getting unpleasant vibes around her and that you would like to know what you can do to smooth things out. By putting the burden on her to come up with a solution she might realize that she is reacting to circumstances that could be interfering with work.
