Mongo,
Within your sample your results are statistically significant using a 95% confidence limit, however I should point out that there are numerous sampling biases in your study.
Your sampling method was in no way random. You have a participant bias towards web-browsing, investment oriented, males who are interested in women celebrities. Unless the participants filled out their ages in their SI bios, you have no way of knowing if your sample is representative of the general population age structure.
On the other hand if your study was to find out whether web-browsing, investment oriented, males who are interested in women celebrities prefered Pam Anderson or Debbe Dunning, then way to go! Otherwise I suggest getting the latest census results and using that as a sampling framework to do a stratified random sample of the whole population.
