Back to the thread now, I don't want a mod to punish me !
Normally you'll just see "there's" in dialogue: it's more of an oral thing. The written rule normally follows the "are" for plural and "is" for singular rule. It's always better to follow this rule even when talking, because there are only a few minor exceptions.
