Kristen Stewart appears to be getting closer to Alicia Cargile, with the pair being snapped holding hands together on holiday.

K-Stew and her companion - a visual effects producer from Los Angeles - enjoyed a sunshine break in Hawaii over the festive season - prompting speculation that they might be more than just friends.

They were also photographed walking together in the Silver Lake district of LA on Christmas Day, when both were dressed down in grungy clothes and beanie hats.

Stewart, 24, is not known to have been involved in a serious relationship since parting with Robert Pattinson.

We told you yesterday how she swore at a rude and very insistent fan on her return to LA from Hawaii.
