I am not sure there are any easy answers here.
I think you've learned a valuable lesson here: don't tell people things that you don't want made public. In addition, you learned something about the person you confided in: she's not to be trusted.
Sadly, there isn't anything you can do at this juncture. The damage is done. If you haven't done so already, be sure you mention that you told her these things "in confidence" and that you hope she respects your wishes. After that, don't hound her -- if you continue to do so, she'll realize she has power over you and be likely to blab.
If she blabs, you'll have to face the music or deny what she says.
Good luck and take it easy.
