There may be turmoil in the house of Rosie O’Donnell. The entertainer reportedly blew a gasket when she learned that her partner was getting a little too close for comfort to Broadway star Julia Murney.

The 40-year-old Murney — who has appeared in such shows as "Wicked" — has been friends with O’Donnell and Kelli Carpenter for years, but a source told The National Enquirer that O’Donnell had a fit when she learned the two women may have given each other a friendly kiss.

From The National Enquirer:

Rosie is very protective of Kelli and really freaked out when she heard about the lip lock," The source told The Enquirer. "Rosie believed she was being betrayed, and it erupted into a nasty and bitter showdown with Kelli over her perceived cheating — even though Kelli told Rosie she and Julia were only friends and nothing more."

This apparently is adding fuel to the fire of rumors that perhaps Murney and Carpenter were getting close when they both missed an R Family Vacations gay families cruise in 2007. Although spokesmen for both Murney and O’Donnell say this is much ado about nothing, it is being reported that Carpenter has since severed some ties with her friend. The entire story comes out in the April 13 issue of The National Enquirer.   

Meanwhile, Out magazine has released it’s 3rd Annual Power 50 and O’Donnell dropped from #31 last year to #42 this year.

Out says:

We’ll admit it: The world is quieter, and maybe even a bit more boring, without daily updates from the mouth of Rosie. (She’s even abandoned her blog, at least for the time being.) And though her variety show, Rosie Live, was canceled after one episode, she scored a hit with her Lifetime movie, America, a drama about a foster child. Love her or hate her, give the lady credit: When it comes to advocating for kids, there’s no one with a bigger heart — or more power to enlighten."

Also on the list: former Recording Industry Association of America CEO and Huffington Post contributing pundit Hilary Rosen (#46); former Deputy LA Mayor Nancy Sutley (#40), now an environmental adviser to President Obama; actress Jodie Foster, who dropped from #13 to #36; comedienne Wanda Sykes (#35); finance guru Suze Orman moved from #24 to #22; U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-WI (#11); MSNBC phenom Rachel Maddow (#4); and talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres (#2).
