• Jesus tells Colorado native Heidi Montag to love the mean people on her new reality show

  Denver pizza entrepreneur Mark Huebner isn't the only Coloradan scoring points for engaging in a "Verbal Fight/Physical Fight" on television these days. Crested Butte's Heidi Montag -- along with her fluffy-haired weenie of a husband, Spencer Pratt -- is a contestant on the lamely named NBC reality show I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, which debuted last night. The show is like Survivor, only starring Lou Diamond Phillips, American Idol reject Sanjaya Malakar and Rod Blagojevich's wife,

• How's Denver's hopeful doing in The Bachelorette fantasy game?

  Mark Huebner. We've already introduced you to Denver's Mark Huebner, the self-described pizza entrepreneur who's competing for Jillian Harris' affection on the current season of The Bachelorette. So... how's he doing? Judging by FaFaRAZZI, a website that features games related to TV shows, celebrities and so on, he's hanging in there. FaFaRAZZI's Bachelorette contest allows fans to pick a dream team of their three favorite contestants and then track their success, or lack thereof, using a poin

• Meet Denver's Mark Huebner, Bachelorette hopeful

  Mark Huebner at his most delectable. Jillian Harris, a 29-year-old restaurant designer from Vancouver, Canada, was given an especially brutal heave-ho by Jason Mesnick on the last season of The Bachelor -- a move so nasty that Colorado's own Bachelorette prize, Ryan Sutter, felt compelled to weigh in. Fortunately, Harris received a reward for becoming an object of national pity: She's the season five star of The Bachelorette, which launches on Monday, May 18 -- and among her suitors is Mark Hue

• Will Bachelorette get a pizza the action?

  Pizza man HuebnerDon't order in from the Denver Pizza Company tonight. Although that's the purported business of The Bachelorette competitor Mark Huebner, described as a "pizza entrepreneur" from Denver in advance publicity for the show that kicks off Monday, there's no such joint in town. Not yet. But then, it would be hard for Huebner to toss the dough while also wooing Jillian Harris, a 29-year-old restaurant designer from Vancouver who's the star of this fifth incarnation of the series. For

• Pizzaman survives on The Bachelorette

  Denver's entry on The Bachelorette, "pizza entrepreneur" Mark Huebner, survived round three of the show last night. But while he's wooing bachelorette Jillian -- in TV time, at least -- work continues at Huebner's Denver Pizza Company, with the windows at 309 West 11th Avenue filled with city permits and a banner over the door still promising that the place is "opening soon."

• Huebner off the Bachelorette, back on pizza

  We've spent a lot more time looking at the home of the new Denver Pizza Company -- a few blocks away from the Westword office at 309 West 11th Avenue -- than we have watching The Bachelorette, even though one of the swains vying for Jillian Harris was from Denver: Mark Huebner, billed as a "pizza entrepreneur." Huebner got the kiss-off on Monday's episode of The Bachelorette -- and just in time, too, because it looks like the Denver Pizza Company will be opening next week. Which means you can

• Toke of the town: Mary Jane's Pizza

  Mary Jane's is finishing up construction in Highland.Could be a fight to the finish to see which storefront pizza joint opens first: Denver Pizza Company -- whose owner, Mark Huebner, can focus on finishing his Golden Triangle spot now that he's been booted off The Bachelorette -- or Mary Jane's Pizza. Mary Jane's is located at 2013 West 32nd Avenue, in an increasingly hot restaurant neighborhood. But it's offering something that you won't find anywhere else in this town: Carry-out and deliver

• Should Denver break up with The Bachelorette now that Mark Huebner's gone?

  The bachelors await their fate. Last Monday, Mark Huebner, the Denver pizza entrepreneur who's been among the hopefuls on this season of The Bachelorette, got the heave-ho from Jillian Harris, and the anonymous scribe who pens the episode recaps for ABC, which airs the series, wasn't exactly surprised. Here's the key section of the latest account: [Jilllian] still considers Jake "too perfect" and notices that Mark has never once told her he likes her! Maybe she should have kept Mike, who could

• Denver Pizza Company opens July 3

  Mark Huebner didn't get the girl -- he was eliminated from The Bachelorette two weeks ago -- but he got a pizza joint instead. His Denver Pizza Company, at 309 West 11th Avenue, opens tomorrow at 11 a.m.; it will be selling medium pies for $5 (one topping) and large pies for $7. And when Denver Pizza opens, Huebner will have won one contest: Mary Jane's Pizza is lagging even further behind its original schedule, and won't be open for a couple more weeks.

• Denver's booted bachelor opens the Denver Pizza Company

  Lori MidsonOkay, so I stopped by the new Denver Pizza Company yesterday, which, as you've no doubt heard (or read), is the pie-hole of kicked-to-the-curb bachelor Mark Huebner, the 27-year-old contestant on this season's The Bachelorette, who got robbed of a rose back in June.Bummer. Anyway, Huebner, a Chicago native and University of Colorado, Boulder grad, held a soft opening of his pizzeria, located at 309 West 11th Avenue, over the weekend, and on Sunday, at approximately 3 p.m. when I stopp

• A very special delivery from a bachelor

  Liz Kellermeyer If Mark Huebner got booted from The Bachelorette, it's only because Jillian never got to try one of his Cripple Creek pizzas.We did yesterday, and the meat-heavy pie (sausage, pepperoni, Genoa salami) on an ideal crust was a big hit. "Not too thick, not too thin," Huebner says of the crust -- and the women of Westword were saying the same of this "pizza entrepreneur," as he was billed on The Bachelorette. A native of Chicago -- where he worked in a pizza shop when he was growi
