This is not the first time the duo's similarities have been highlighted. In December, the Mail Online ran a comparison story after they both went on separate skiing trips around the same time.

While the 33-year-old Keeping up with the Kardashians star hit the slopes with her fiancé Kanye West, daughter North and other members of her close-knit family, the North Korean leader took in the scenery from a chairlift.

"What a waste of column space reporting on these two complete wastes of space. One a little fat commie egomaniac, the other a little air-headed Z-lister," one critic said.

Kardashian, who is preparing to marry West in a lavish Parisian wedding, has not commented on the billboard.
