The second option below seems to be a Service that you manually created or another application added for you. Check in ~/Library/Services for anything related to that, or deactivate this option from your Keyboard Shortcuts if it's there for you (like it was for me).

As for the first one ("Look Up in Dictionary", above "Voix"), it is hardcoded into OS X, just like "Speech" is. In fact, OS X lets you disable dictionaries from System Preferences » Languages and Text » Text, but you have to have at least one dictionary selected, so you'll never be able to remove that.
