I'd be more apt to put Kardashian in the Gollum-mold, at least as far as behavior goes.

Since Hobbits are generally regarded as good-natured and affable rather than nice-looking, one's reaction on being compared to one would depend on personal priorities of importance. Someone obsessed with their own physical beauty would be apt to take offense, whereas those with an appreciation for "inner" attributes might enjoy the comparison.
