Nothing conjures up the image of sheer terror quite like that of a shark. Although you're more likely to be killed by a falling coconut, that primal fear is a part of us, as demonstrated by an entire genre of shark attack movies.

Q: This may sound like a silly question, but is it actually Jackie Chan doing the voice in "Jackie Chan Adventures"?

It's not a silly question at all, but the answer might seem so.

It's actually not Jackie Chan voicing Jackie Chan in the show "Jackie Chan Adventures," which Chan produces. Chan also appears as himself in sequences at the end of each episode.

You'd think with all that involvement that he'd just go ahead and do his own voice, too, but Chan opted to give the role to young actor James Sie, and it proved to be Sie's big break.

Shipping Wars, on A&E

New cast members Chris and Robbie join Marc, Jarrett, Jennifer and the rest of the gang for more high-stakes, heavy-duty moving. Cameras follow the shippers as they bid to transport items that traditional carriers refuse to touch.

Q: Why were Holly Robinson Peete and Leah Remini fired from "The Talk"?

Author: 
Adam Thomlison / TV Media

Well, that is still the subject of debate. And that debate has thus far taken place over the Internet, so it hasn't always been pretty.

It all started slowly, with their contracts not being renewed in the summer of 2011. Remini eventually took to Twitter to publicly announce that she'd been fired, but Peete was quiet about it for a while.

When Peete did officially announce she'd been fired as well, she told "Access Hollywood Live" that she "wasn't given a reason."
