Is Gollum a hobbit or a weird frog thing???

In FotR, Gandalf says that "He must have been of a sort of hobbt," or something like that, and I read in the Barrow-downs encyclopedia (http://www.barrowdowns.com/Descripti...tryID&Data=188) that he was a type of hobbit. Which one is it??? If he is a hobbit, then what about his "birthday present"? In the true story, Smeagol/Gollum strangled his friend Deagol, because Deagol found the Ring in the Anduin, and when Smeagol asked for it, "Because it's my birthday, precious, and I wants it," Deagol says that he already gave him a present. Don't hobbits give each other gifts on their birthdays instead of receiving them??? And if he is a hobbit, then Bilbo isn't the oldest hobbit in history..."For 500 years..." AAH!!! I'm confuzzled!!!
