incredible performance, it's part of a big performance on a&e tonight and we'll have more on that, lara. we begin with this block with facebook. it really changed the way you share your lives with your friends and family but things can get awkward as we all know especially what if you break up. all that is about to change, though. juju chang is with u us to expin how. juju, do tell. >> you know, lara, everybody knows breakups are extremely painful, and now facebook is feeling our pain. they're allowing us to create a little virtual distance tween you and your ex. you can now untangle your digital history without your ex even knowing it. breaking up can be hard d to do. >> yeah. >> according to facebook your ex-girlfriend becca just got engaged. >> reporter: and being bombarded on facebook by happy pictures, posts and news about a heartbreaking ex can just make it worse. >> i didn't want to see him. >> i just see thing on my ex's feeds that i just don't want to see.
8:04 am
>> reporter: but this morning facebook is hoping to ease the pain launching a new set of tools dubbed take a break letting users wipe their romantic slate clean with just the push of a button. now when you change your status in a relationship to single, it'll automatically give you an option to remove your exes from your newsfeed. untag yourself from old photos and prevent your exes from seeing any of your updates all without having to unfriend or block them. in a blog st, the social media giant writing "we hope these tools will help people end relationships on facebook with greater ease, comfort and sense of control." for some, it's a long overdue feature for the site which practicalllly invent the relationship status. >> in the digital age what this is like is like getting rid of that box of stuff or hiding some of the photos. >> reporter: in "the social network" even the hollywood version of founder mark zuckerberg couldn't avoid his ex online. >> more than a billion people
8:05 am
it's just -- it's kind of ingrained in like how we communicate. >> reporter: and as many prepare for the upcoming holiday season perhaps this tool can help x one person off their list. >> facebook is smart to roll it out now because we're actually kicking off breakup season. the weeks before thanksgiving is the time that a number of breakups happen. >> i didn't even know there was a breakup season.. >> you don't want to bring anyone home to meet your mom or dad. >> i guess not. >> or you don't want to buy them a gift for the holidays. >> breakup season is upon us. >> absolutely. >> for now that ability to undo your tags, you have to do one-on-one on your phone, it's only available on digital but you have to ask yourself, even though those memories are now bittersweet, do you really want them to disappear forever. >> you might change your mind so might want to put the pause on that. >> i'm glad i got out of this dating game before social media.
8:06 am
>> it's complicated. thanks for unraveling it. juju, always good to see you. kate walsh is opening up for the firsrst time aut why she's never had children. the 48-year-old former "grey's anatomy" and "private practice" star revealing she went through early menopause. it's's a probl that's more common than you may think and abc's linsey davis has her story. >> reporter: she p played a art and sultry surgeon on "grey's anatomy" a and on "pvate practice" where she was known for her character's heartbreaking struggle with infertility. >> i'm so sorry. i know how much you wanted this. >> i just didn't realize i was out of time. >> reporter: and now kate walsh is speaking out, the 48-year-old tv star revealing on the sirius xm radio show "conversations" that her character's onscreen problem is also one she has in real life. >> i don't have children. i'm not going to have kids. you know, i went through early menopause. >> y did? >> yeah. >> oh, wow. >> yeah,, and my older sister caed and she's like,e, you
8:07 am
through menopause early and i'm like, you're just scaring me and then i went -- yeah, they're like, you have one egg. it was bleak. >> reporter: on average, it occurs around 51 years old but 1 in every 100 women between the ages of 30 and 39 are affected by what's known as premature menopause, the loss of ovarian function. >> it's not clear why this happens to certain women. a woman should be concerned if they become irregular particularly if they've had regular periods in the p past. a woman should go through her lifestyle and certain risk factors with her health provider to maximimize her rtility capabilities. >> reporter: walsh, who has spoken out about wanting to have children says her hopes of getting pregnant are dashed but when icomes to life, she says she has no regrets. >> i think it's a bit of a myth and that it's this huge pressure. we're like, wait a minute. am i less than if i'm not a mother. if i'm notike a rock star in my career? i've always felt as much as i've been sort of at times in my life indecisiveve, i go f what i
8:08 am
want, and d i embracwhat's in front of me. >> reporter: for "good morning americica," lins davis, abc news, new york. >> all right. joining us now is dr. jennifer ashton. she joins us live at our l.a. bureau. this is your area of expertise, jen. so, what do you make of kate's revelation? >> well, first of all, if that's what menopse looks like, sign me up, and for a shoutout to all the millions of women who go through menopause and their story doesn't make national news, but, again, to clarify, early menopause is menopause that ours at the age of 40 or earlier. most women will go through menopause between 45 and 55, so that's the average range. it's going to differ woman to woman, though. >> you said early menopause isn't even really a medical term. you can -- it's premenopause. what are the causes of it? >> premature menopause, so we don't totally understand but we know that things like smoking, very, very bad for your ovaries as it is for the rest of your body, certain chemotherapies, certain types of chromosomal abnormalities
8:09 am
they're all associated with early or premature menopause and we don't know how the environment affects it but certainly family history plays a role, so something your mother, your sister goes through, it increases your chance that it will happen around the same time. >> when you said chemotherapy, amy and i both nodded along that's what happened for both of us at an early age, so we also heard in the radio interview with kate walsh that she was 0 referring to the pill that she thought that was a contributing fact. could that be? is that true? >> absolutely not. so, there e are so my myths about the birth control pill, , and we rlly need to change that. taking birth control pills for years is not associated with premature menopause, and there's noaximum amount of time that a woman can take the pill, and we have to remember the silver lining with both early menopause or taking birth control pills, a dramatic reduction in the ririsk of breast, ovarian and uterine cancer, so you always have to look at both sides. >> absolutely. all right, jen, have a good time there in l.a. thanks so much for joining us.
8:10 am
>> thanks. >> and she will be taking your questions on twitter throughout the morning. tweet her @drjashton. now outside to george. >> that's right, i'm here with barbara corcoran. we've got three entrepreneurs getting ready for their first test, and, barbara, you've been doing interesting stuff on "shark tank" recently and you u put a bistake in a beautynd bath companyy. >> that was savvy naturals and the reason i decided to buy that particular stake in their busineness is i ought they would give me my money back. that's all i care about. >> how do you decide how much? how big a play to make? >> it's entirely dependent upon how confident i am in that indivividual. and if you meet these people, you would just say, you know, i'm going to make a fortune and blind faith after that. >> up against the clock. the quickest pitch you've ever gotten? >> the quickest pitch to me, i was a waitress at a diner and my soon-to-be boyfriend walked in and said to me, you'd be great at real estate sales and
