'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' season 5: Who's coming back and who's leaving in new season cast?

For the fifth season of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," there are rumors that Lisa Vanderpump won't come back and Joanna Krupa will be joining the show. Is there any truth to this?

In an interview with ET, Vanderpump was asked if she'll be returning to the show's fifth season. Everyone knows how bad the last season was for her, so her return is a big question. But Vanderpump answered, "Oh my God, if I tell you I'm going to have to kill you." She quickly opened up further by saying, "There has been a lot of speculation. I was asked back, but it was really difficult for me last season. Plus, I had so much going on just trying to do [P.U.M.P.], and everything else I was doing. It was all a bit much, to be honest. I really felt like beaten up."

But if there is one thing that Vanderpump was thankful for was that the audience stood behind her. She said, "Because had they not been with me, then that would have been really tough."

The host wasn't content and asked her to answer with a yes or a no, to which Vanderpump answered, "in talks." While Vanderpump isn't too sure, there are already reports saying that she is coming back.

What about Joanna Krupa? According to Enstarz.com, Carlton Gebbia and Joyce Giraud were fired from the show, which means that there are open spots to fill. One of the rumored new housewife is Joanna Krupa from "Real Housewives of Miami."

Krupa denied the rumor and cleared it up with Access Hollywood. "I have a few friends from there and I have my friend Gretchen [Rossi] from the O.C., so just because I've been hanging out with them that's when the rumor started, like way back in the year. But no, it's always been a rumor."

Although Krupa and her husband have a home in California, but Krupa says that they are not moving to Beverly Hills from Miami. "No, unless something changes last minute. Right now? No, not at all. Officially, I will not be on the show."

With that said, Krupa won't be in "Real Housewives of Miami" either. "Ever since Miami finished, I've been focusing on so many more things in my life," Krupa said. "I think it's much more healthy to discontinue that run. Housewives' was an amazing chapter of my life. It was great because it saved my relationship with my husband [and] we had an amazing fairytale wedding, but I think it's time to move on."
