Q: I heard that Betty White and Helen Mirren never had any kids. Are there any other big-name actors or actresses who never had them?

I should start this answer by thanking you, on behalf of Zooey Deschanel, for asking about both actors and actresses.

When asked by Marie Claire magazine in 2013 if she was planning to have kids, the "New Girl" star said, "I don't think people ask men those questions." (She actually later had two children.)

As "really" as a fictional character can do anything, Agent Ellie Bishop did go to OSU. At least, presumably.

Fan favorite Michaela Bradshaw returns to compete alongside other previous players in this special two-hour season premiere. Jeff Probst hosts as castaways are divided into tribes, and make their way to their new homes.

Q: What happened to the reality shows dealing with guns? I enjoyed watching "Top Shot," where contestants competed using different weapons, as well as two others: "Sons of Guns" and the one with the gun appraiser from "Pawn Stars."

I have some potentially good news for you. "Top Shots" is still on; it's just moved (way) down the cable lineup. After having aired for four years on History, it was canceled in 2013. However, it was picked up by Outdoor Channel, which still airs new episodes.

Indeed, Outdoor Channel seems to be the place for gun-TV aficionados such as yourself. It has a number of firearm-themed reality shows in its lineup.
