update tab not loading in the app store?

I have been having this problem since a couple of days now,where if I double tap on the update tab it just shows a heading named updates,and that's it. I have restarted the phone,waited a few minutes,connected it to my wifi just in case my 3g was acting up,no go. I have even turned off vo and had a friend tap the updates tab, they said that it loaded for a while then nothing. just the heading and nothing in the updates. The update tab does show I have 8 updates available,though. Anyone else experienceing this problem? any suggestions that you could provide on this would be awesome. Thanks, Falcon wings.
