Javascript and Regex remove text

I have a ul with a lot of li each with a child, like that:

<ul>
    <li><a href="#">Belts (2)</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Tenis (92)</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">T-Shirts (368)</a></li>
</ul>

I need to remove the parentheses and the numbers inside, but let the rest, i.e:

<ul>
    <li><a href="#">Belts</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Tenis</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">T-Shirts</a></li>
</ul>

How to do it with jquery and regular expression? I have no idea! :(

$("ul li a").html(function(i, html) {
    return html.replace(/\(\d*\)/, "");
});

$('a').text(function (_, v) {
    return v.replace(/ \(\d+\)$/, '');
});

Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/63H2T/
