Q. Where's my cup holders? You will hear this in informal conversation, but the correct verb is 'are'.
A. I don't have one. - Is the word one here used correctly? It's possible,but unlikely; the more natural response would be, "I don't have them/I haven't got them".

Q. Where's my shorts (the ones that men or women wear to cover their lower body)? You will hear this in informal conversation, but the correct verb is 'are'.
A. I don't know. Fine.

It would be marked wrong in a test, but as Fivejedjon says, you may hear some people using it in colloquial conversation.

But note you will only hear the contacted "where's" and not the uncontracted "where is."
