ALEC Baldwin was a "total bastard" and "tyrant" on the set of "The Girl’s Guide to Hunting and Fishing" – and drove Sarah Michelle Gellar and other crew members berserk with his rantings, says a source who worked on the upcoming movie. "He was always p – – – ed about the schedule of the film, and even once said he was doing it just for the money," said our insider. "He kept saying, ‘This is the last movie I’ll ever make’ to everyone when he was stomping around the set." Our source added that Gellar – whom the source credited as "very professional and hardworking" – recently called Baldwin a nice guy strictly for public relations’ sake. "She hated that he was always telling the director what to do and calling the shots about everything – and that he was constantly on the phone with his lawyer screaming at the top of his lungs and cursing," our spy relates. "Sarah thought it was unprofessional." Gellar’s rep, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, insists, "It’s completely not true. She loves Alex – they stuck together like glue. Sarah Michelle should be Alex’s publicist." But our source continued, "To top it all off, Alec doesn’t like her. He thinks she’s a pushy prima donna." The source also claims that Baldwin drove Gellar’s stylist, Patricia Field, off the set. A friend of Baldwin told Page Six, "If he raised his voice, it was over the custody of his daughter, Ireland, because [ex-wife] Kim [Basinger] made him insane. She had put unbelievable pressure on him . . . She’s a total [bleep]ing psychopath. And his daughter means everything to him." A rep for Baldwin declined comment. Still, the actor’s volcanic temper is legendary. Last April, actress Jan Maxwell quit the off-Broadway play "Entertaining Mr. Sloane," charging that Baldwin’s volatile behavior had "created an unhealthy and oppressive situation" on stage and off. She said Baldwin’s tantrums, which included putting his fist through a wall because the air-conditioning wasn’t high enough, made her fear for her "physical safety, mental health and artistic integrity."
