Lisa Vanderpump who was earlier rumored to be leaving the show has confirmed that she will be back for Season 5. According to E!Online, Vanderpump posted a tweet message saying ""Well ok...Five has always been my lucky number, so we will see," she tweeted. "#rhobh Let the games begin." At the reunion segment of last season, she was seen having a falling out with the other housewives of Beverly Hills who accused her of spreading rumors and making backhanded comments.
