I have 4 updates available for apps, but 5 items are showing (see picture). I never d/l'd an app called "Apple News for iPhone", yet it's saying it needs to be updated. When I click on the app to see what updates are available for it, the "..could not be completed." error came up (see other picture).

Anyone else having this strange occurrence.. occur? Any explanation for this weird app?

Me too!

I started having this exact same issue with that non-existent app as of 2 days ago and it's driving me nuts as I never have downloaded that app either. Nor can I find any info on it via the app store, appshopper or Google.

It always appears when I have legit updates for other apps.
 
Been having the same issue for the last several days. If you so a search on the Dev it comes up with a handful of what I think are junk apps.
