Kristen Stewart Gay After Robert Pattinson Heartbreak? BFF Alicia Cargile 'Intimacy' Sparks 'Lesbian Love' Twitter Debate [PHOTOS]

Kristen Stewart doesn't need a man to make her happy. Still, that doesn't necessarily mean that she's now dating females...

The "Twilight" starlet is VERY close with longtime best friend, Alicia Cargile. The girls are basically attached at the hip, and they're not afraid to show some friendly displays of affection (even out in public). But lately, things have progressively gotten more intimate...

K-Stew and Cargile recently celebrated the New Year together on the beaches of Hawaii. They cuddled-up on the sand, and even at one point held hands...

Interesting, but hey - that's what girlfriends do sometimes! Perhaps Cargile is still helping the "Still Alice" beauty get over her Robert Pattinson heartbreak...

Or are feelings mutually growing deeper between the two?

On Tuesday (January 7), the pair did some shopping together in Los Feliz. Again, Stewart was caught tenderly touching Cargile. She didn't seem to mind the paparazzi. Both ladies were dressed casually - sort of looked like a quick afternoon date! Check out the photos at HollywoodLife.com.

Well, of course Twitter fans are now abuzz over K-Stew's sexuality:
