The X Factor might be currently battling it out with Strictly Come Dancing for the Number 1 slot on Saturday evenings, but here’s one battle Simon Cowell can’t win: his LA pad is only third on a list of the best celebrity homes in Hollywood.

The stack-heel wearing music impresario trails behind funny girl Ellen DeGeneres and pop star Katy Perry on the most-requested list for visitors who take the famed Starline Celebrity Homes Tour.

Starline polls its passengers’ most asked for celebrity homes, and the winners are showcased in a coveted Top 10 List each year. Ellen, who conducted a tour with Starline in 2012, topped this year’s poll, followed by Perry and Cowell.

Michael Jackson’s rental home dropped out of the top ten last year but makes a re-entry at number 4, with Bruno Mars moving from 7 to 5, and Al Pacino climbing the rankings from 8 to 6.

Two resilient fan favorites in Hollywood are Elvis Presley (7) and Lucille Ball (8), with Tom Cruise dropping from 4 to 9, and Justin Timberlake debuting for the first time at No.10. Missing from the list at David Beckham and Christina Aguilera, who fell out of this year’s top 10.
